✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• CAMs who want their entire 15-hour renewal requirement handled in one purchase
• CAMs who manage condominium, cooperative, homeowners' or mobile home association communities

• Portfolio managers responsible for several Florida associations at once
• On-site managers assigned to a single condominium or HOA community
• Florida CAMs who have not started their continuing education for the current renewal cycle

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the Florida Requirement?

This package provides all 15 hours of continuing education generally required for a Florida CAM license renewal, and it covers all five mandatory subject categories. The hours are delivered through two separately approved DBPR courses: Course #9633129 (12 hours) and Course #9633153 (3 hours of Legal Update Seminars).

Florida does not approve the 15 hours as a single course, because the Legal Update Seminars category must be approved on its own. You buy the two approved courses together at one price and receive a certificate for each, and both completions are reported to the state.

One exception applies. If you provide management services to a homeowners' association, Florida also requires at least 5 hours of HOA-specific continuing education per renewal cycle, 3 hours of which must relate to recordkeeping. That HOA-specific instruction is not part of this package, so confirm your exact outstanding requirements on your DBPR license record.

✅ Florida CAM Continuing Education Requirements

Florida community association managers renew on a two-year cycle and must complete 15 hours of approved continuing education during each renewal period. The requirement is set by Rule 61E14-4.001, Florida Administrative Code, and the hours are divided into five mandatory subject categories rather than a single open pool of credit. One hour of credit equals 50 minutes of approved instruction, and the same course does not earn credit twice in the same biennium.

• 3 hours – Legal Update Seminars (included)
• 3 hours – Insurance and Financial Management (included)
• 3 hours – Operation of the Association's Physical Property (included)
• 3 hours – Human Resources (included)
• 3 hours – Additional Instruction (Electives) (included)

Total required: 15 hours per renewal cycle. This package covers all 15.

Approved distance and online coursework is accepted for these hours through a DBPR-approved provider, and there is no separate classroom minimum for CAM continuing education. Your approved provider reports your completed hours to the department electronically; you do not mail in certificates, but you should keep your certificates for your own records.

Managers who provide services to homeowners' associations have an added obligation under Section 468.4337, Florida Statutes: at least 5 hours per renewal cycle pertaining specifically to homeowners' associations, with at least 3 of those hours relating to recordkeeping. Guidance differs on whether those 5 hours count inside the 15-hour total, so HOA managers should confirm their exact obligation with the DBPR before finalizing their course plan.

Two exemptions apply. Licensees who were first licensed within 24 months before the renewal date are generally exempt for that first cycle, and as of July 1, 2024 licensees who have held an active license continuously for at least 10 years with no discipline imposed are also exempt. Exempt licensees still have to renew and pay the renewal fee.

How this course helps: This package provides all 15 continuing education hours generally required for a Florida CAM renewal and completes every mandatory category in full: 3 hours of Legal Update Seminars, 3 hours of Insurance and Financial Management, 3 hours of Operation of the Association's Physical Property, 3 hours of Human Resources, and 3 hours of Additional Instruction (Electives). For most licensees, nothing further is needed for the education portion of the renewal. Managers who serve homeowners' associations must also complete the state's HOA-specific hours, including the recordkeeping hours, which are not covered here.

✅ When Do Florida CAMs Renew?

Florida CAM licenses are renewed every two years and expire on September 30 of each even-numbered year. The current biennial licensure cycle runs October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, which makes September 30, 2026 the deadline for the cycle now in progress.

All required continuing education must be completed before your license expires, and your provider needs time to report the hours to the department, so finishing your coursework several weeks early is the safest approach. Renewal fees increase for renewals submitted after the expiration date, and a license that is not renewed does not stay active while you catch up. Always check your own license record for the expiration date that applies to you.

✅ How to Renew Your Florida CAM License

1. Confirm your license status and requirements: Sign in to your DBPR Online Services account at myfloridalicense.com and check your license type, status, expiration date, and the continuing education already posted to your record.
2. Check whether any hours are already posted: If you completed courses earlier in the cycle, note which categories are already satisfied. Note separately whether you manage a homeowners' association and therefore owe the HOA-specific hours.
3. Complete your approved continuing education: Finish both approved courses in this package to cover all 15 required hours, along with any HOA-specific hours that apply to you, before your license expires.
4. Allow time for provider reporting: 1st Choice CE reports your completions to the department within 24 hours. Give the department time to post the hours to your record before you submit your renewal.
5. Update your account information: Confirm your contact details, your CAM firm employment, and the community associations you are assigned to. The department requires these to be updated within 30 days of any change.
6. Submit the renewal and pay the fee: Complete the online renewal application in your DBPR account and pay the renewal fee. The active license renewal fee is currently $100 when submitted on time and increases for late renewals - confirm the exact amount shown in your renewal notice.
7. Verify and save your confirmation: Save your payment receipt and confirm that your license record shows an active status with the new expiration date.

✅ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this package approved by the State of Florida?

Yes. Both courses in the package are approved by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Regulatory Council of Community Association Managers, under Provider #PVD1234 as Course #9633129 and Course #9633153.

How many continuing education hours does this package provide?

All 15 hours generally required for a Florida CAM license renewal.

Does this package satisfy my entire Florida CAM renewal requirement?

For most licensees, yes. It covers all five mandatory subject categories and the full 15-hour total. Managers who serve homeowners' associations also owe the state's separate HOA-specific hours, which are not part of this package.

Why is this sold as two courses instead of one?

Florida requires the Legal Update Seminars category to be approved as its own course, so the 15 hours cannot be approved as a single course. You buy both approved courses together at one price.

Will I receive one certificate or two?

You receive a certificate for each approved course you complete - one for the 12-hour course and one for the 3-hour Legal Update Seminars course. Both completions are reported to the state.

Which subject categories are included?

Legal Update Seminars, Insurance and Financial Management, Operation of the Association's Physical Property, Human Resources, and Additional Instruction / Electives - 3 hours each.

Is there a quiz or exam?

The Legal Update Seminars course ends with a short multiple-choice quiz. You need 70% to pass, and you can review the material and retake it as many times as you need.

I manage a homeowners' association. Do I need anything else?

Yes. Florida requires CAMs who serve homeowners' associations to complete at least 5 hours of HOA-specific continuing education per renewal cycle, including at least 3 hours on recordkeeping. That instruction is not part of this package, so confirm your outstanding requirements on your DBPR license record. Call or text us at 1-800-698-2770 and we will let you know as soon as our HOA-specific hours are available.

What if I only need some of the hours?

You can buy individual 3-hour courses for $39 each, or the 12-hour package without Legal Update for $99, if you have already completed part of your requirement.

Is the package 100% online?

Yes. Both courses are entirely online and self-paced, with no classroom attendance and no scheduled log-in times.

Can I log out and come back later?

Yes. You can log in and out as often as you like and your progress is saved, so you can complete the courses in as many sittings as you want.

Does 1st Choice CE report my hours to the state?

Yes. As an approved provider we report your completed hours electronically to the Florida DBPR within 24 hours of completion.

When is my Florida CAM license renewal deadline?

Florida CAM licenses expire on September 30 of each even-numbered year. The current biennial cycle runs October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, so the deadline for this cycle is September 30, 2026. Check your own license record to confirm the date that applies to you.

Am I exempt from continuing education?

You may be. Licensees first licensed within 24 months before renewal are generally exempt for that cycle, and licensees who have held an active license continuously for at least 10 years with no discipline imposed became exempt as of July 1, 2024. Exempt licensees still have to renew and pay the fee.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a money-back guarantee. If the package is not right for you, contact us by phone or text at 1-800-698-2770 and we will take care of it.
