Which statement about continuing education hours is true?

Which statement about continuing education hours is true?

• A. All CE hours must be from a Florida Board-approved provider.
• B. All CE hours must be from a Florida Board-approved provider except for the 2-hour human trafficking course.
• C. The 2-hour human trafficking course must also be Board-approved.
• D. No continuing education is required.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that most continuing education must come from Board-approved providers, but there’s a specific exception for the required 2-hour human trafficking course. The Florida Board wants to ensure quality for the bulk of CE through approved providers, but to keep renewal manageable, the 2-hour human trafficking course can be taken from any qualified source, not necessarily Board-approved. That’s why the statement about all CE hours needing Board-approved providers isn’t entirely accurate—the exception means not all CE must come from Board-approved providers. The other options conflict with this nuance or are simply untrue (no CE required).
