The rules and agreements that govern your enrollment in South Florida Career Center courses and your use of southfloridacareercenter.com.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and South Florida Career Center, Inc. ("SFCC," "we," "us," "our"), a Florida corporation operating under DBPR License ZH1002688. By visiting our website at southfloridacareercenter.com (the "Site"), creating an account, or enrolling in a course (the "Services"), you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or Services.
To enroll in any SFCC course, you must:
If you do not meet the eligibility requirements, you may not enroll. We may verify eligibility at any time and may cancel enrollments that don't qualify.
The 28-Hour Reactivation, 45-Hour Post-License, 60-Hour Broker Post-License, 63-Hour Pre-License, and 72-Hour Broker Pre-License online courses are DBPR-approved for distance education and are delivered entirely by SFCC on our own student portal. SFCC is responsible for the course content, portal access, examination, certificate issuance, and reporting your completion to DBPR. Detailed course timelines, examination rules, and identity-verification requirements are published on our Online Course Policies page.
Online enrollments include lifetime portal access — your course does not expire, and there is no deadline to finish. See Section 7 for our re-enrollment policy.
The 14-Hour Continuing Education and 120-Hour Home Inspection online courses are delivered through our third-party partner, Dearborn Real Estate Education (a 360training company). By enrolling in one of those two courses, you also agree to Dearborn's terms of use and privacy policy as published on their platform. For those courses, SFCC is responsible for catalog listing and customer support; Dearborn is responsible for course content, portal access, and exam administration, and access terms are governed by Dearborn's platform.
Live classes are delivered by SFCC directly via Zoom. You will receive a Zoom link, materials access, and a confirmation email after payment. You are responsible for:
Missed sessions can be made up by watching class recordings (available within 24 hours), but consistent absence may delay your certificate.
Prices are listed in U.S. dollars. Payment is processed through our payment provider (Stripe) at the time of enrollment. By paying, you authorize us to charge the payment method you provide.
Sales tax is applied where required by law. You are responsible for any fees your bank or card issuer charges.
We may change course prices at any time. New prices apply only to enrollments made after the change.
Refunds and cancellations are governed by our dedicated Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review it for the full refund windows, completion thresholds, and how to request a refund. In summary: Live Zoom seats are refundable up to 48 hours before the class start, and online courses are refundable within 7 days if less than 30% complete (14 days / 20% for the 120-Hour Home Inspection) — and because of our Pay Once, No Re-Enrollment Fees model, you can re-enroll for free instead of refunding. The Refund Policy page is the controlling document for any refund matter.
Once you successfully complete a course (passing the required final exam), SFCC issues your Notice of Satisfactory Course Completion — your certificate — and emails it to you, normally the same day.
Where Florida law requires a school to report course completions to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, SFCC reports your completion within three (3) business days of completion, as required by Section 455.2178, Florida Statutes. If your license expires within 30 days, we report it on the same or next business day. For pre-license courses (63-Hour and 72-Hour), there is no school reporting step — your certificate is the record, and you present it when you sit the state examination.
Activating or renewing your license with DBPR remains your responsibility. SFCC does not submit your license application or activation paperwork — only the course completion record where reporting is required.
If you do not complete a course within the access window, do not pass the final exam within Florida's allowed attempts, or simply need more time, SFCC will re-enroll you in the same course at no additional cost. There is no second payment, no re-purchase fee, no surprise charges. This applies indefinitely.
To request a re-enrollment, reach out through our contact page.
Florida limits re-examination, and the limit is not the same for every course. The rule that applies to your course:
SFCC's "No Re-Enrollment Fees" policy means we will re-enroll you for free whenever repeating a course is required. See Section 7. Full per-course examination rules are published on our Online Course Policies page.
When using the Site, our portal, or attending Live Zoom classes, you agree NOT to:
Violations may result in immediate termination of your enrollment without refund and may be reported to DBPR or law enforcement.
All content on the Site, in our courses (including text, video, audio, graphics, course materials, and the SFCC name and logo) is the property of South Florida Career Center, Inc., its licensors (including Dearborn / 360training), or other rights holders, and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the course content for your personal, non-commercial educational use only, during the period of your enrollment. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, sublicense, publicly display, or create derivative works from any course content without our written permission.
No State Exam Pass Guarantee. SFCC does NOT guarantee that you will pass the Florida real estate state exam, the broker state exam, the home inspector state exam, or any other licensing exam. Course completion satisfies DBPR's education requirement, but passing the state exam depends on your own preparation, study habits, and exam performance. Anyone who claims otherwise is being dishonest.
The Site and Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses.
SFCC is not responsible for delays, omissions, or errors caused by third-party services (including Dearborn, Stripe, Zoom, your internet provider, or DBPR processing times).
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will SFCC, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, lost income, lost data, or lost opportunities — arising out of or related to your use of the Site or Services.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms or your use of the Services shall not exceed the total amount you paid SFCC for the specific course at issue in the 12 months before the claim arose.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SFCC, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site or Services, or your violation of any third-party rights.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
You waive the right to participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration against SFCC.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top and, if the changes are material, notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Site. Your continued use of the Site or Services after the new Terms take effect means you accept them.
