If you are relocating, timing matters as much as the requirements. Continuing education keeps you current on Florida law and practice updates.
Plan your licensing steps around your move date to avoid gaps. After post-licensing, you renew on a cycle that requires CE hours from approved providers.
Continuing education plan
Schedule each step so approvals land when you arrive. A simple yearly cadence keeps CE from piling up.
- Check your renewal cycle and CE window in your DBPR account.
- Complete the required 14-hour CE package, including Florida Core Law.
- Spread study sessions across the year instead of cramming.
- Store your CE certificates in a dedicated folder.
- Submit the renewal and payment before the deadline.
How people relocating to Florida stay on track
