Parents and caregivers need flexibility and short, focused study sessions. Continuing education keeps you current on Florida law and practice updates.
The right plan respects your schedule while keeping requirements on track. After post-licensing, you renew on a cycle that requires CE hours from approved providers.
Continuing education plan
Use small wins and clear checkpoints to avoid overwhelm. 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 parents and caregivers stay on track
Break study into bite-sized sessions and keep a simple checklist. CE is easiest when you schedule it ahead of busy seasons.
Use nap time, school hours, or late evenings for steady progress.
