Education Requirements – Issues with FL Board

    Hi there- I am looking for any insight anyone might have on Education requirements and working with the FL Board. When I can reach someone (haven’t been able to for a few days now) they tell me they can’t really help with deciphering the credit evaluations.

    My report says I am short 18 quarter hours and 36 semester hours. There is also a section on top of my evaluation that says I don’t need more classes to license. So it shows the 18/36 numbers in 1 spot then 0 in another for “deficient to license”.

    So its really confusing. I have a Bachelors Degree and MBA – when I present this to course counselors at a few different colleges they are baffled as to why I need that many and they also say the conversion doesn’t make sense. I am trying to see if they didn’t accept some of my classes on my transcripts but I have had no success in figuring it out or getting a revaluation. When I call – it just says no one is available at this time.

    Has anyone experienced this? I am just trying to avoid paying for classes I don’t need but the FL Board, when you can reach them, you can’t really get the needed information other than the current status. I need to speak to someone who can help! 🙂 thanks for any insight!

    Hi, I am a CPA in Florida.

    I recommend writing them a formal letter and attaching it in an email and to call them for clarification on the deficiencies.

    It can take a while but you can get it cleared up with patience.

    It's also possible there is a typo on the letter, that occured with me once.

    Please visit the Florida Board of Accountancy and the DBPR site and manually check your courses against the requirements.

    I would do a summary of your transcript and match to the Florida education requirements.

    Thank you. That helps. I need 4 more classes. I am looking at American Military University and Liberty University and I am trying to see if for any reason they wouldn't be accepted before I sign up. I saw an old post here from 2014 that said they wouldn't accept AMU back then so I am just trying to figure that out.

    I am in Florida. I just finished two courses at University of North Alabama. I took Tax Accounting II and Audit II. I had taken the other two required courses while I was still in college. I already asked the Board of Accountancy if they would take UNA credits and they said yes. As long as they are upper division courses at a regionally accredited university you should be fine.

    I have been on this journey off and on for over 10 years. I think it's about time that I wrap this up.
