Florida CAM License Renewal: Your Continuing Education Checklist

Renewing a Florida Community Association Manager (CAM) license is rarely the problem — falling behind on continuing-education hours is. The good news is that with a little planning, CE becomes something you knock out steadily through the year instead of scrambling for in the final weeks before your renewal deadline.

Start by confirming two things directly with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR): your exact renewal date and the specific number and categories of CE hours required for your license cycle. Requirements can change, so treat the DBPR licensee portal as your source of truth rather than memory or last cycle's rules.

Next, build a simple tracker. For every course you complete, record the date, the provider, the topic area, the number of hours, and where you saved the completion certificate. Keeping all of this in one place turns renewal into a five-minute confirmation instead of a paper chase.

This is exactly why we award CE hours for eligible SoFL CAMs events and generate a downloadable completion certificate the moment you check in. Every certificate lands in your member dashboard under "CE credits," so your records build themselves as you attend.

A few habits that keep CAMs out of trouble: aim to be halfway to your requirement by the midpoint of your cycle, favor courses that also make you better at the job (not just the ones that are easiest to click through), and never let a certificate live only in your email inbox. Save it somewhere durable.

Have a question about which of our events are CE-eligible? Check the event page — CE hours are listed right on it — or reach out and we will point you in the right direction.
