The Florida requirementHow this counts toward Florida’s 11 hours
Florida asks for 11 classroom hours every two years: one hour of business practices, one hour of workers' compensation, one hour of workplace safety, one hour of Florida laws and rules, and seven technical hours — one of which has to be a Florida Building Commission-approved advanced module on the Florida Building Code.
This course is 4 of those 11 hours, in the technical category. Trade Code Solutions' seven approved Florida courses add up to 11 hours and count for 10 of the 11 Florida requires: the eleventh has to be the Florida Building Code advanced module, which is not a Trade Code Solutions course yet. The Florida Building Code advanced module has to come from a course the Florida Building Commission approved. TCS lines one up for you with your renewal.
