Florida Home Inspector Licensing Program - Build Your Own Package

Florida CE providers are required to report course completion to the state DBPR within 10 business days of course completion. However, Pace reports your courses much quicker than the 10 business days required by the state. Pace has automated electronic reporting with the Florida DBPR. Courses are reported individually at the time each course is completed. The first course you complete with Pace is queued for us to manually review your license information and report to the state. This is typically done in 1 to 2 business days. Subsequent courses are reported immediately upon course completion (within seconds). Once reported, the course status will display a "Sent to State" icon rather than the "Completed" icon. The state updates its MyFloridaLicense.com database each night, so courses completed and reported typically show up on their site the next day. You also can print out a Certificate of Completion for each course for your own records.

Florida Home Inspectors are required to complete 14 hours of continuing education each renewal cycle. Two (2) hours of instruction regarding hurricane mitigation and twelve (12) hours of general continuing education are required.

• Pace has an approved 2 hour hurricane mitigation course.
• General hours can include courses with approvals by the Construction Industry Licensing Board, the Board of Professional Engineers, the Board of Architecture and Interior Design, the Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Board, or the Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board, so long as the courses pertain to one or more of the eight components of a home.
