If you are relocating, timing matters as much as the requirements. Florida licensees complete post-licensing for the first renewal and continuing education for later cycles.
Plan your licensing steps around your move date to avoid gaps. Understanding the difference helps you enroll in the right course and avoid renewal delays.
Education stage check plan
Schedule each step so approvals land when you arrive. Match the requirement to your renewal window and license stage.
- Confirm whether this is your first renewal or a later renewal cycle.
- Review DBPR guidance on post-licensing versus continuing education requirements.
- Choose an approved course provider that fits your schedule.
- Plan study time so completion happens before your renewal deadline.
- Save completion proof for your renewal records.

Q: Can I take continuing education instead of post-licensing?
