Florida Certificate Renewal Requirements
To renew a professional educator certificate, the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) and the State Board of Education require continuing education completed during each five-year validity period under Florida Statute 1012.585:
- 120 inservice points or 6 college semester hours (or a combination) every five years. Twenty inservice points in an approved district Master Inservice Plan equal one semester hour.
- At least 1 semester hour or 20 inservice points in teaching students with disabilities (SWD) as part of the total.
- 2 semester hours or 40 inservice points in developmental literacy for renewals on or after July 1, 2024, with science of reading and dyslexia content required for certain certifications under Rule 6A-6.053.
- Renewal applications are submitted through the FLDOE Online Licensing Services system to the Bureau of Educator Certification before the certificate expiration date.
Every iTeachAI Academy course provides three IACET-aligned clock hours and a verifiable Certificate of Completion you can document toward this total. iTeachAI Academy is not a state-approved provider in Florida. Confirm with your district how external inservice points are recorded.

How Florida Districts Approve iTeachAI for Inservice Points
Florida does not maintain a state-approved provider list for online professional development. Florida school districts approve outside courses through their State Board approved Master Inservice Plan and document them as inservice points for educator certificate renewal under FS 1012.585. iTeachAI Academy courses are anchored to FLDOE frameworks and designed for that pathway. The district route is simple:
- A district designee reviews one or more courses through a no-cost reviewer account.
- The district documents approved courses on its inservice form under the Master Inservice Plan.
- Teachers complete courses, receive a Certificate of Completion, and submit it for renewal credit.

For Florida School District Leadership
If you direct curriculum, professional learning, or federal programs at a Florida district, I would be glad to send a no-cost reviewer account so a designee can audit any course end to end before approval.
I will also share a sample certificate, the course catalog with descriptions, and a fifteen-minute call at your convenience.
