Florida License CE Renewal
Florida architects have two important deadlines approaching.
Dec. 31, 2022: Continuing education credits must be completed.
Feb. 28, 2023: Florida licenses must be renewed
Florida law requires architects to complete at least 24 hours of continuing education credit -- 22 HSW plus a two-hour advanced Florida Building Code credit -- between Jan.1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2022. Continuing education units must be obtained by Dec. 31 prior to the Feb. 28 license renewal deadline.

Reminder
In 2012, the Florida Administrative Code changed from 20 to 24 hours of continuing education per biennium, meaning 22 hours of health, safety and welfare-approved courses and two hours of the advanced Florida Building Code. For more inforamtion, see the DBPR Architecture Continuing Education Handbook.
When an architect renews their license, they will attest to completing 24 continuing education hours from Jan. 1, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2022.
The Board of Architecture and Interior Design (BOAID) no longer accepts optional self-directed study courses delivered by non-AIA providers.
