Mandatory Education Requirements – Section 718.112(2)(d)4.b., F.S.

In the past, new directors have had the option to either attend a directors education class or sign a certificate affirming they have read the condominium documents, will work to uphold them, and faithfully discharge their fiduciary responsibilities to the members. This has been changed to require both actions and will extend the requirements to existing directors by June 30, 2025.

New directors will have 90 days from their election or appointment to comply with these new requirements. The education requirement will be valid for 7 years from the certification date and must be renewed for any subsequent board service. The education course will have detailed requirements, such as the course must last at least 4 hours, and the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes, will have rule-making authority for the curriculum. An annual 1-hour class on recent changes to the Condominium Act (Chapter 718, F.S.) and Division Rules will also be required.
