Continuing education (CE) applies after your first renewal cycle and is separate from post-licensing. Start with the Florida continuing education page for approved options, and use this guide to keep your renewal on track.
If you are still in your first renewal cycle, review the Florida post-licensing course guide instead.
Plan your 14-hour CE cycle
- Confirm your renewal window in your DBPR account and mark the deadline.
- Choose an approved provider and complete the 14-hour CE requirement.
- Finish early so reporting posts before your renewal cutoff date.
- Keep proof of completion for your records.
For renewal timing details, review the Florida license renewal requirements.
Avoid renewal surprises
Missing CE deadlines can result in an inactive or expired license. Know the rules for your status before the deadline arrives.
See what happens if you miss a deadline in the inactive license guide and the license expiration guide.
