Florida SLP license renewal and continuing education
Florida’s Board of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology says licensees renew “biennially,” and its speech-language pathologist page lists 18 clinically related hours, 10 non-clinical hours, and 2 hours on medical errors.

Sources read on November 12, 2026: the Florida Board of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology Licensing & Renewals and Speech-Language Pathologist pages.
Cycle
The Licensing & Renewals page states: “The Florida Board of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology requires licensees to renew their licenses biennially to maintain the right to practice.” The Speech-Language Pathologist page says licenses are renewable in each odd year and that current licenses expire at the end of 2027 (paraphrased).
Hours
The page’s CE table lists: general hours, clinically related, 18; general hours, non-clinical, 10; and medical error, 2 (paraphrased from a table). It states: “All 28 hours of general can be clinically related if you choose.”
First renewals follow different rules depending on when the license was first issued; read the board page for those (paraphrased).
Reporting
The page says not to send certificates of completion to the board, and to report continuing education credits to the Department of Health through its CE tracking system, CE Broker (paraphrased).
On inactive status: “A licensee who remains on inactive status for more than two consecutive biennial licensure cycles and who wishes to reactivate the license may be required to demonstrate the competency to resume active practice by sitting for a special purpose examination or by completing other reactivation requirements.”
What this page does not do
It covers the speech-language pathologist license only, and only what the official page or pages named above say. It does not list fees, does not cover school credentials issued by a state education agency, and does not replace the board’s own instructions. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
