Which statement about continuing education for Florida license renewal is accurate?

• A. Continuing education is optional for renewal.
• B. Licensees must complete the Board-specified continuing education hours for renewal.
• C. Renewal requires CE only for first-time renewal.
• D. CE is required only every five years.

Answer: (B)

Continuing education for Florida license renewal is defined by the Board and must be completed to renew. The Board specifies how many hours and which topics or types of courses count toward renewal, and only those Board-approved credits count toward meeting the requirement. This means CE isn’t optional or limited to a single renewal or a five-year span; it’s a ongoing obligation tied to each renewal cycle. The key idea is that renewal hinges on finishing the Board-specified CE hours, with records kept and submitted to prove compliance.
