In 2013, the Department of Health (and consequently the Board of Laboratory Personnel) integrated a continuing education tracking system with the state’s license renewal system. This continuing education tracking system is a private company called “CE Broker.” CE Broker has placed every healthcare licensee's name and license number in the State of Florida into its database. In addition, with a few exceptions, all Florida-approved continuing education providers must register their courses with CE Broker. You may go to the CE Broker website
https://www.cebroker.com/ (Most recently accessed 3/11/2024) (click on "Course Search") and search for these courses at no charge. All continuing education providers must submit a completed course record for each licensee to the CE Broker. CE Broker then uses this information to create and maintain a transcript for each licensee, showing the courses taken by category during those two years. Approved providers have up to 90 days to submit continuing education credits to the CE Broker, and, in turn, the CE Broker has 24 hours to post them to the licensee’s transcript.
CE Broker offers a basic account that allows you to access your course history and report additional continuing education at no charge. They also provide two additional accounts, of which there is a charge. The most popular is the Professional account, which is $29 per year. With this account, you can: 1) see how your courses count toward your current requirements and know when you are 100% compliant; 2) report additional hours; and 3) search for additional courses that meet your requirements and save them to your account so you can take them at a later date.
Licensees must complete and enter all required continuing education into CE Broker before issuing a new license.
