Great news! CM is already preparing additional “elective” classes as part of the four 4-hour that the State requires. We anticipate that two new classes will be available in the first quarter of 2026. Also featured are our “Short Takes” (time: 10 minutes) and Short Takes Plus (time: under 30 minutes).
Requirements for Condominium Association Board Members*
Condominium directors appointed or elected on or after July 1, 2024, must complete a four-hour certification within 90 days after being elected or appointed that covers the following topics: milestone inspections, structural integrity reserve studies, elections, recordkeeping, financial literacy and transparency, levying of fines, and notice and meeting requirements.
The certification is valid for seven years and does not have to be retaken during the seven-year period if the director serves without interruption. If the director serves for more than seven years, the certification must be retaken upon expiration of the seventh year.
In addition to the certification, and within one year thereof and annually thereafter, directors must take a one-hour continuing education course relating to any changes during the past year to chapter 718, F.S. and the related administrative rules. |
| Requirements for HOA Board Members*
HOA directors appointed or elected on or after July 1, 2024, must complete education for new board members within 90 days after being elected or appointed.
The new board member education is valid for four years and does not have to be retaken during the four-year period if the director serves without interruption. If the director serves for more than four years, the certification must be retaken upon the fourth year.
In addition to the new board member education, the director of an HOA association with fewer than 2,500 parcels must complete at least four hours of continuing education annually. A director of an HOA association with 2,500 or more parcels must complete at least eight hours of continuing education. |
