to the department within five (5) days of issuance using guidelines established and provided by the department. The issue date indicated

Templates to be used for Uploading Student Data (RECOMMENDED):
TDLR has created sample Microsoft Excel templates to help Course Providers and
School Owners to easily enter Student Completion Data. These templates already
have the correct data structure and input requirements built-in. Therefore,
Course Providers can save a lot of time from having to refer to the File Format Instruction document.
In addition, using these Excel templates can help reduce the chance of entering and uploading incorrect student data.
Simply download the required Excel Template, fill in the necessary student information, and save it with a unique filename and “.csv” extension. Afterwards, the file can be uploaded to our online portal.
There is a separate template for each type of certificate, as follows:
