Florida barber CE online: the two hour HIV/AIDS course
Florida barbers renew with one Board approved two hour HIV/AIDS course, and it can be taken online. The course is short. The reporting rules around it are where providers get fined. We build the course and the reporting together.

How the platform is built to it
Your course, on your site, under your name. Every requirement above is a feature, not a promise in the application.
A two hour course that holds its length
The HIV/AIDS course is paced to its two hours, with progress saved so a barber can finish between clients without losing time already logged.
Deadline aware reporting
Every completion gets a due date the moment it happens: 30 calendar days normally, 10 business days once the renewal deadline is inside 30 days.
A roster you can hand over
Each completion is kept with the barber, license number and date, exportable any time DBPR or the Board asks.
Mobile first, two languages
Most barbers will take this on a phone, so the course is built for one, in English and Spanish.

The terms
We are building one right now for a state-approved online school in Virginia, in English and Spanish, on the same terms.
- One flat fee
- Quoted per course before any work starts. No hourly billing and no surprise line items.
- Final payment on approval
- The last payment is due when the regulator approves the course, so the platform has to pass review before it is paid for in full.
- No per-student fees
- You keep what every enrollment pays. Nothing is skimmed per seat, per certificate or per month of traffic.
- You own it
- The platform, the code and the student records are yours outright, on your site and under your brand.
Questions schools ask
Can Florida barbers take their renewal course online?
Yes. The Board approved two hour HIV/AIDS course under Chapter 61G3-16 may be taken online.
How long does a Florida barber CE provider have to report a completion?
Section 455.2178 gives 30 calendar days, tightening to 10 business days once a renewal deadline is within 30 days.
What is the penalty for reporting late?
Up to $500 per violation, and DBPR can suspend or revoke the provider approval. That is why reporting is built into the platform rather than left to a spreadsheet.
Can I offer the course in Spanish?
We build it in English and Spanish on the same platform. Get the Spanish version approved by the Board the same way as the English one.
What are the terms?
One flat price for the course, the balance due when the Board approves it, nothing per student, and the platform belongs to you. We are building one right now for a state-approved online school in Virginia, in English and Spanish, on the same terms.
