Verify your Florida CE hours, knock out pre- and post-licensing, submit completed credits, and map out your next NAR designation — all in one place.
Stay current with your Florida continuing education requirements and make sure your hours are reported correctly to DBPR and BER.
The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) is the official record for your license status and CE history.
BER members have access to online curriculum catalogues and special pricing through our education partners.
Watch your BER emails and class calendar for current discount codes and bundles available through these partners.
Your CE provider reports hours to the state — they do not report them to BER. Help us keep your member record and Code of Ethics status up to date.
