Licensure and Certification Disclosure
FSCJ Career and Technical Education programs are designed to meet local workforce needs. FSCJ is unable to guarantee that its programs will meet licensure or certification requirements in any other state besides Florida. If you are considering employment in a state other than Florida, please visit the Licensure and Certification Disclosure webpage to ensure that FSCJ’s program meets the educational requirements to sit for licensure or certification testing in that state. Other states may have additional requirements for their state exams, such as a specific number of years’ experience or additional coursework. FSCJ updates the Licensure and Certification Table annually, but students are encouraged to review the local and state licensure and certification guidelines to check for any changes or updates to that state’s laws before relocating to another state.
