Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 5J-17.043 - Board Approval of Continuing Education Providers
(1) Applicants for continuing education
provider status must meet the requirements of subsections (2) and (3) of this
rule, to demonstrate the education and/or the experience necessary to provide
continuing education instructional courses and seminars to professional
surveyors and mappers in the conduct of their practice, and they must renew and
be approved under this rule by May 31st of every odd-numbered year.
(2) To demonstrate the education and/or the
experience necessary to provide continuing education instructional courses and
seminars to professional surveyors and mappers in the conduct of their practice
for continuing education credit, an applicant for continuing education provider
status must be either a vendor of equipment or software used in the practice of
surveying and mapping, a regionally accredited educational institution, a
commercial educator, a governmental agency, a state or national professional
association that promotes any aspect of the profession of surveying and mapping
as defined in Chapter 472 F.S., or a surveyor and mapper with a Florida license
to practice surveying and mapping who is not under disciplinary restrictions
pursuant to any order of the Board. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate
particular education, experience or skill which sets the applicant apart from
the surveyors and mappers whom the applicant proposes to instruct.
(3) To allow the Board to evaluate an initial
application for continuing education provider status, the applicant must submit
an electronic application located at https://csapp.800helpfla.com/csrep/. In
lieu of an electronic application, the applicant shall complete the application
entitled "Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers Continuing Education
Provider Approval Application, " FDACS-10056, Rev. 08/17, hereby incorporated
by reference. Copies of the form may be obtained by contacting the Board Office
or accessed online at
http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-08763.
The applicant shall provide the following:
(a)
A nonrefundable application fee of $200.00, in addition to a $250.00 fee for
continuing education provider status;
(b) A renewal fee of $250, which, upon
request, will be refunded if the applicant is denied provider
status.
(4) No surveyor
and mapper may conduct continuing education courses or seminars for credit upon
the surveyor and mapper's receipt of any disciplinary order from any
professional regulatory board in any jurisdiction. Rather, the surveyor and
mapper must notify the Board office within ten (10) days of the surveyor and
mapper's receipt of any such order.
(5) No provider may allow a surveyor and
mapper to conduct any course or seminar offered by the provider if that
surveyor and mapper has been disciplined and has not been released from the
terms of the final order in the disciplinary case. Upon receipt of notice that
an instructor is under discipline, the provider shall, within seven (7) days,
write to the Board office and confirm that the surveyor and mapper is no longer
conducting any course or seminar offered by the provider. For the purpose of
this subsection, a letter of guidance or a reprimand shall not constitute
"under discipline."
(6) The Board
and the Department retain the right and authority to audit and/or monitor
programs and review records and course materials given by any provider approved
pursuant to this rule. The Department shall rescind the provider status if the
provider disseminates any false or misleading information in connection with
the continuing education programs, or if the provider fails to conform to and
abide by the rules of the Board.
