Does the board give extensions or have exemptions from continuing education requirements?
No, the board does not give extensions for completing continuing education requirements. The board does however have exemptions for continuing education. You are not required to maintain continuing education if your license is in an inactive status. However, you will be required to provide evidence of completion of continuing education in order to reactivate the license. Personal hardships limited to illness, death within your immediate family or acts of God, will be considered on an individual basis provided that appropriate evidence substantiating the hardship is submitted. You must file a rule waiver or variance in accordance with Chapter 28-104, Florida Statutes, to be considered for exemption or extension.
