Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the 14-hour online package?

You receive ten self-paced modules: Principles of Florida Statutes & Rules (2 hrs);
Ethics for the Construction Professional (1 hr); Advanced 7th-Edition Florida Accessibility
Code Overview (1 hr); Swimming-Pool Electrical Safety (1 hr); Know Your Building Code—Internet Format (3 hrs); Workers’ Compensation Overview (1 hr); OSHA Safety Basics (1 hr); Successful Business Practices (1 hr); Wind Mitigation—Strengthening the Roofing System (1 hr); and Advanced 7th-Edition Florida Energy Conservation (2 hrs). Together they meet the Board’s six mandatory subject areas plus the remaining eight general hours.

I hold more than one CILB license. Do I need separate CEs?

No. The Board allows a single 14-hour completion to renew every CILB certificate or county registration you hold. For example, a General Contractor who is also a Roofing Contractor finishes once and satisfies both licenses.

How long do I have to complete the online course?

Your seat never expires for a full year, and you can start, stop, and resume on any device.
Completion certificates remain archived in your account indefinitely.

Can I take the course by textbook instead of online?

Contact our Career Counselors at 1-800-732-9140 and we will arrange to send a book to you in the mail. Payment for your correspondence course is due when you submit your answers for grading. For grading, you can stop by any of our campus locations during business hours to have your answers graded in person or mail your completed exam along with check payment to: Gold Coast Schools, P.O. Box 2595, Ormond Beach, FL 32175

What are the system requirements for the online course?

Any modern computer, tablet, or smartphone with an updated browser will run the program.
If you hit a snag, our support team is ready to help by phone or chat.

How quickly does Gold Coast report my hours?

You will need to check your account manually after the course is complete – confirmation will typically be completed within 48 business hours.
