Live online classes from a DBPR-approved CAM pre-licensure provider (RazPro LLC, License No. PRE93), taught by Roberto Zarate — the education every Florida Community Association Manager applicant must complete, and a clear path to your license.
Anyone applying for a Florida Community Association Manager (CAM) license must complete 16 hours of DBPR-approved pre-licensure education within the 12 months before passing the state exam. Florida requires those hours to be taught in person or live and interactive, which is exactly how RazPro teaches them.
The state sets the subjects and how much of the course each one takes:

The order matters. Here is the sequence DBPR describes for an initial license by examination.
You must be at least 18 years old. Florida residency is not required.
Take a DBPR-approved course, in person or live and interactive, and keep your certificate of completion.
The course must be completed within the 12 months before the date you pass the exam.Submit the CAM application for initial licensure by examination (form CAM 1) through DBPR Online Services, and pay the application fee shown on the application.
Right after you apply, have your fingerprints taken electronically by a Livescan provider registered with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the background check.
FDLE requires your application to be on file before you submit fingerprints. Results can take up to five days to reach DBPR.Once DBPR approves your application, schedule the computer-based CAM exam with Pearson VUE. Your exam approval is valid for one year; if you don't pass, you file a re-exam application before scheduling again.
CAM licenses expire September 30 of every even-numbered year. To renew you complete 15 hours of continuing education each cycle, and managers who serve HOAs complete 5 additional HOA-specific hours, 3 of them on recordkeeping (R. 61E14-4.001).
