General


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 "Reported" 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.

License holders under the Florida Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Board (BCAIB) must complete 14 hours of continuing education during each biennium prior to the November 30th renewal date. Of the 14 required hours, a minimum of 2 hours must be in the area of accessibility, a minimum of 2 hours in the area of Florida law and rules and a minimum of 1 hour in the area of ethics.
