No. This requirement applies to public lodging establishments only – not restaurants or other food service operations.
How often do I need to take this training?
Florida does not currently specify a renewal frequency for human trafficking prevention training. However, best practice is to retrain staff periodically and ensure all new hires complete the training as part of onboarding. Check with your local DBPR office for any updates to renewal requirements.

Online Training FAQs
What happens after I purchase the course?
You’ll get immediate access. After completing your registration and payment, you can log in and start the course right away. You’ll also receive an email confirmation with your account details and a link to access your training.
Can I pause the course and come back later?
Yes. Your progress is saved automatically. You can close your browser and pick up exactly where you left off. You have 90 days from the date of purchase to complete the course.
Can I take the course on my phone?
Yes. The course is fully accessible on phones, tablets, and computers. No app download is required – just log in from any browser.
Are the quizzes difficult? What if I don’t pass?
The quizzes throughout the course are designed to reinforce what you’ve learned – they are not proctored exams. All section quizzes have unlimited retakes, so you can retry as many times as needed. The final assessment requires a passing score of 70% and has unlimited retakes, but most learners pass on their first attempt. The course material prepares you thoroughly – these are knowledge checks, not high-stakes exams.
How do I download my certificate?
Once you complete the course and final assessment, your certificate will be available for download directly from your account dashboard. You can access and reprint your certificate at any time. Note: This does not apply to Food Manager Training – that certificate is issued by ServSafe after passing the proctored exam.
