How many hours of post-license education are required within the first license period?

• A. 60 hours
• B. 45 hours
• C. 30 hours
• D. 0 hours

Answer: (B)

Post-licensing education is a one-time training requirement for new licensees to ensure they understand the rules, product basics, and ethical duties. In Florida, after you obtain your license, you must complete 45 hours of post-license education within the first license period. This first period runs from the date of licensure to the next renewal, and meeting these hours is necessary to keep the license in good standing. After this initial 45 hours, you still have ongoing continuing education requirements (for example, 24 hours every renewal cycle) to maintain the license. The other options don’t reflect Florida’s stated requirement for this initial post-licensing training.
