2.) Course Number 1104.0…

 

Course: Advanced Significant Code Changes for 2020 Florida Building Code

Provider: Smith Currie & Hancock LLP

Accreditor: JC Code & Construction Consultants, Inc.

Accreditation date: 5/13/2022

This is a 1-hour instructor led course that will discuss significant code changes from the 2017 Florida Building Code 6th Edition to the 2020 Florida Building Code 7th Edition. It will address base code changes in the 2018 International Building Code, and it will include Florida-specific changes. In addition, this course will analyze the significance of the major changes and how they impact your day-to-day business

After an administrative review of this course, it was found that…

            a. The course number in the title of the course on the syllabus needs to change from       1014.0 to 1104.0

            b. The number of hours of continuing education credit earned by completing this course             was missing on the “Certificate of Completion”

As a result, I recommend denial of this course because it does not meet the full requirements of Rule 61G20-6.002. However, the ED POC could instead motion to conditionally approve this course, subject to changing the course number in the title of the syllabus and adding the hours of ce credit to the “Certificate of Completion”.
