Who it is for

Is this the right course for you?

If more than one of these describes you, it probably is. If the other side describes you better, call us and we will point you elsewhere.

This is probably right for you if

  • Florida RNs and LPNs
  • CNAs and HHAs
  • Other healthcare professionals with continuing-education requirements

Another course would serve you better if

  • You want a guarantee of compliance. No provider can give you one — you sign the renewal attestation, not us.
  • You hold licences in several states and need a compact or multi-state analysis. Start with each board.
  • You are a CNA whose employer administers and documents in-service training. Start with your employer.
  • You need advice on a disciplinary or audit matter. That needs a Florida licence defence attorney, not a course provider.

How renewal works

Two separate events, and why renewals fail

There are two separate events in Florida continuing education, and almost every renewal problem comes from treating them as one. The first is earning contact hours: you sit a course, you pass, you get a certificate. The second is those hours appearing on your CE Broker transcript, attached to your licence number, inside the correct renewal cycle.

Only the second one renews your licence. A certificate in your inbox is evidence that you did the work. It is not the record the state reads. The Florida Department of Health states that its continuing education tracking system is powered by CE Broker, and that a practitioner whose records are not complete will be prompted to enter the remaining hours before proceeding with renewal. Renewal is gated on the transcript.

Responsibility is split, and the split is asymmetric. The reporting duty sits with the provider. The consequence sits entirely with you: you sign the renewal attestation, and any audit letter has your name on it. A provider who fails to report has created a problem that only you can be harmed by — which is why the checks further down this page are worth doing rather than assuming.

Your hours

How many hours do you need? Check, do not assume

We are deliberately not printing an hours table on this page, and it is worth explaining why rather than leaving a gap.

The requirement is not one number. It varies by licence type, by how long you have held the licence, and by which biennium you are in — one mandatory subject applies at first renewal only, one every other renewal, and one every third biennium. Initial licences issued for less than a full two-year biennium are prorated by the month. Renewal cycle end dates differ between renewal groups, and they roll.

On top of that, the commonly quoted breakdown only adds up in a biennium where the every-other-renewal impairment course is actually due. In an off-biennium, either the general hours rise or the total falls — and we were not able to resolve which against rule text with enough confidence to print it next to your licence.

So rather than give you a number that might be wrong for your cycle, here is the honest instruction: log into CE Broker, open the requirements for your own current cycle and compare them with your course history, then check each mandatory subject separately. A compliant total with one missing two-hour subject is not compliant, and that is the commonest audit failure precisely because the total looks fine.

Reporting

How reporting actually works

CE Broker offers a free Basic account for Florida licensees, covering licence verification, expiry tracking, permanent course history, compliance status and self-reporting. You are never required to pay for CE Broker in order to renew.

Under Florida Administrative Code rule 64B-5.002, all Florida Board approved providers shall submit licensee programme completion data through the CE tracking system within thirty days of programme completion. The required information includes the provider number, the programme name, the programme number, the date of completion and the licence numbers of the licensees who participated.

Read that last item carefully, because it is where hours go missing. Your hours post to a licence number, not to your name. If the number you gave the provider was wrong or out of date, the hours can be reported perfectly and still never reach you.

The same rule requires that licensees attending courses approved by a nationally recognised organisation shall self-report electronically any CE hours earned into the CE tracking system prior to licence renewal, and that licensees shall not be charged any fees for electronically self-reporting. Self-reported credit appears in your course history immediately.

Jude Health Institute is a CE Broker provider and our provider number is 50-46278. That number is how a completion we report is identified on your transcript. We report hours where the course and the profession allow it — and credit acceptance varies by profession, so confirm a course counts for your licence type before you pay for it.

Your checklist

What to check yourself

  • Log into CE Broker and open the requirements for your current cycle, then compare them with your course history.
  • Confirm the licence number and licence type on the account are yours and current — hours post to a number, not a name.
  • Confirm your cycle end date against the Board of Nursing renewal page for your licence type and renewal group.
  • Check each mandatory subject separately, not just the total.
  • Work out which biennium you are in for the every-other and every-third requirements.
  • If this is your first renewal, confirm which requirements survive the general-hours exemption.
  • Thirty days after any course, check it posted. If it has not, contact the provider — not the Board.
  • Keep every certificate, especially for anything you self-reported.
  • Do the whole check with weeks in hand, not days. Fixing a missing report depends on a third party acting.

Common mistakes

Where renewals actually go wrong

Cycle confusion comes first. Hours earned before your current cycle opened, or after it closed, do not fill it — hours count against the cycle, not the calendar year.

Then assuming the provider reported. The thirty-day duty is a duty, not a guarantee. Verify the posting yourself.

Then courses that do not count for your profession. General hours must carry accreditation from a body empowered to accredit nursing continuing education, and most mandatory subjects require Board approval. A course that counts for another profession, or a general course used against a mandatory subject, leaves a gap that a total will not reveal.

And finally, a provider number is not an approval. A provider number identifies who reported a completion. It does not establish that a given course satisfies a given mandatory subject for your licence type. Check the course approval and your own requirement before enrolling — including with us.

(407) 606-7964
How many hours do I actually need?

It depends on your licence type, how long you have held it, and which biennium you are in — and we are not going to print a number you might rely on wrongly. Log into CE Broker, read the requirements for your own current cycle against your course history, then check each mandatory subject separately. Your transcript is the only authority on your position.

Whose job is it to report my hours?

The provider’s. Florida Administrative Code rule 64B-5.002 requires Board approved providers to submit completion data through the CE tracking system within thirty days of programme completion. But the consequence of a failure is yours alone, because you sign the renewal attestation. That asymmetry is why you should verify the posting rather than assume it.

How long does reporting take?

The rule gives a provider up to thirty days from completion. Many report faster — the rule sets the outer limit, not the norm. Credit you self-report appears in your CE Broker history immediately. Treat thirty days as the point at which a missing course becomes your problem to chase, and chase it with the provider rather than the Board.

A course has not appeared on my transcript. What now?

Contact the provider that delivered it, with the completion date and the licence number you want it reported against. Do it well before your deadline rather than in the last week, because corrections depend on someone else acting. If the problem is with something you self-reported, contact CE Broker support instead.

Do hours from another state count?

Sometimes, but never automatically. Out-of-state hours will generally not be provider-reported to Florida, so you would need to self-report them, and Florida’s mandatory subjects usually require Board approval specifically. Check your own position in CE Broker before assuming an out-of-state course has filled a Florida requirement.

What happens if I am audited?

The Department of Health selects licensees at random. If your CE Broker transcript is compliant you generally pass the electronic check without receiving an audit letter at all. If it is not, you will be asked to produce completion certificates showing the course title and number, provider number, date offered and hours earned — which is why keeping them matters.

Do I still need to keep certificates?

Yes. Keep them regardless of whether hours appear to have posted. Certificates are how you reconstruct a posting that went astray and how you answer an audit your transcript did not pre-empt. The Board’s certificate language sets a retention period — check the current requirement and keep them at least that long.

Do I send my certificates to the Board of Nursing?

No. The Board’s renewal pages instruct licensees not to submit continuing education completion certificates to it, and direct reporting through CE Broker instead. Certificates stay in your own records. The transcript is the state’s record, and it is the one renewal is gated on.

Does your CE Broker provider number mean a course counts for me?

No, and this is worth being clear about. Our provider number, 50-46278, identifies who reported a completion. It does not establish that a particular course satisfies a particular mandatory subject for your licence type. Ask us which profession and requirement a course is set up to report against before you pay for it.

Can you guarantee I will be compliant?

No. No provider can, and any that says otherwise is overstating what it controls. We can deliver the course and report the hours where the course and profession allow it. Whether your cycle is complete depends on your full record, your licence type and your deadline — all of which live in your CE Broker account, not ours.
