Everything you should know before you enroll in a South Florida Career Center online course: how to reach us, what the course looks like hour by hour, how we verify your identity, how the final exam works, and what happens if something breaks.
Instructor and technical support are available during the posted business hours below. Messages received outside those hours are answered the next business day.
Every online course is self-paced distance education delivered in our student portal. You can start the moment you enroll and work at your own speed on any device.
Chapters unlock in order. Each chapter delivers the full approved instructional content for its allocated classroom hours and ends with a knowledge check that gives you immediate feedback. You move to the next chapter when the current one is complete.
The end-of-course examination does not unlock until every chapter and knowledge check in the course is complete. That gate is a Commission requirement, not a preference.
Online enrollments include lifetime portal access — your course never expires, and re-enrollment after an unsuccessful examination is free. You never pay twice for the same course. (Examination attempt limits are set by Commission rule and apply regardless of access length.)
A computer, tablet, or smartphone with a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox and a working internet connection. The portal is mobile-responsive and installable as an app. No special software, plug-ins, or downloads are required.
Florida requires distance-education providers to verify and document student identity at three points. Here is exactly what we do at each one.
You provide your full legal name and date of birth. If you already hold a Florida real estate license, you also provide your license number, which we cross-reference against Department records. (Pre-license students don't have a license number yet — name and date of birth are used.)
Every session requires logging in with your own unique credentials. Lesson access and completion activity is logged with timestamps against your account.
The final examination requires the same credentialed login, and immediately before the exam begins you must affirmatively acknowledge the certification statement prescribed by the Commission:
Declining prevents access to the examination. Your acknowledgment is logged with a timestamp and retained in your student record.
We do not require a webcam, screen recording, browser lockdown, or biometric scanning for any SFCC course.
The same format applies to every course: one question at a time, no going back, no hints, no retries within an attempt, and a server-side timer that keeps running if your connection drops. The exam auto-submits when time expires.

Two examination forms (A and B) are maintained for every course. Questions and answer options are presented in randomized order, and a student retesting after a failure receives a different form. The examination is closed-book, delivered only inside the portal, and cannot be printed or downloaded.

Your progress is saved on our servers, not on your device. An interruption doesn't cost you your work.
Current status: all systems operational. This section is the school's published status page. If we are aware of a disruption affecting students, it is posted here.
Progress is preserved server-side. When you reconnect, you resume from the last saved point — nothing is lost and nothing has to be repeated.
If your connection drops, the timer continues to run and you resume the same attempt with the time remaining. If a school-side service interruption occurs, we pause the timer server-side and you resume the same attempt on the same examination form with your remaining time, and the interruption is logged.
If an outage exceeds one hour, we email every enrolled student. Telephone support is available during posted business hours throughout. The portal runs on commercial cloud infrastructure with vendor-maintained redundancy and backups.
When you pass the final examination we issue a course completion certificate conforming to Rule 61J2-3.015, F.A.C., emailed to you as a PDF. The original is yours; the school retains a copy.
We report your completion to the Department electronically within the deadlines set by Section 455.2178, Florida Statutes. You do not need to send anything to the state yourself.
Your progress records, assessment results, identity-verification records, examination records, and certification log are retained for five years after course completion.
Full refund within 7 days of enrollment if you have not completed more than 30% of the course. Past that point we don't refund — but your enrollment doesn't expire and re-enrollment is always free.
