<p>I have an OH & FL license. I was OH licensed first but I had also taken NCBTMB after I got my OH license because I knew that I would be licensing in FL at some point. </p>
<p>I had to have my school transcripts, NCBTMB transcript, took the classes online for FL Law, HIV/AIDS, & medical errors, submitted all of this and about $500 later I had my FL license. I was able to do it all online and it kept track on the website what they needed and had received.</p>
<p>$500 was pretty good…</p>

<p>$500 was pretty good because when I first looked at getting my FL license I was going to have to take the classes down there and it was going to cost me close to $2000 even though I had over 1200 hours in OH and FL is 500 hours. They changed the system. I had my license within about 6 weeks.</p>
<p>Your CEU's must be kept track of in CE Broker which will cost your another $35. Over all it was a pretty easy process.</p> I thought Florida offered som…tag:massageprofessionals.com,2013-05-05:2887274:Comment:3197122013-05-05T21:37:29.796ZGordon J.

<p>I thought Florida offered some kind of grace period that would allow you to work without a Florida License for six months before having to have a Florida License? I may be wrong, but I read that somewhere?</p>

<p>The most recent information I have (from the ABMP state regulation guide, updated last month) is Florida requires 500 hour of education, a national exam (they accept either MBLEx or NCBTMB), plus three special courses (medical error prevention course, HIV/AIDS course, and a Florida laws course which I assume is some class about understanding the local scope of practice). That's for new licensees so I don't know about transfers specifically, but hopefully it will help a bit...</p>
