Identify future POC member discussion items

Commissioner Stone asked the Education Administrator how much code content should be included in an FBC approved advanced course. The Administrator stated that all advanced code courses must contain at least 50% code content.

Commissioner Stone also asked Mo Madani if the commissioners were going to receive a hard copy of the building code, or should they continue to use the online version. Mr. Madani stated that the ICC was paid to supply a digital version of the code. Chair Dean stated that she did find the account and created a logon to use the ICC supplied version of the Florida Building Code.

Chair Dean stated that she noticed inconsistencies among providers when they listed CEU’s for various courses. She stated that it was her experience that 1 CEU could mean 10 hours of contact. April Hammonds stated she thought that CEU’s were expressed in 1 hour increments. Mo Madani stated that the DBPR boards relied on the number of contact hours. Chair Dean stated that she brought this up for discussion because she noted some inconsistencies.
