You do not have to finish the Florida Parent Education Course in one sitting; your progress is saved automatically at the end of each module, so you can log in and out as needed.
The Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course is required for many parents involved in divorce or custody cases in Florida. Understanding how the course works can help you plan around your schedule and legal deadlines. You have flexibility in how and when you complete the course.
How Progress Saving Works
Your progress in the Florida Parent Education Course is saved automatically at the end of each module. You can stop at any point and return later without losing completed work. When you log back in, the course will resume from the last module you finished.
Course Access and Deadlines
You have 120 days from the date you enroll to complete the Florida Parent Education Course. This access period is separate from your legal deadline, which is usually 45 days from filing or being served. It is important to submit your certificate to the court by your legal deadline, even if you have access time remaining. For more details on requirements, visit the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) at the Florida DCF website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Florida Parent Education Course progress be lost if my internet drops?
Your progress is saved at the end of each module. If your internet connection drops in the middle of a module, you may need to repeat that module when you return. Completed modules will not need to be repeated.
What if I do not complete the Florida Parent Education Course before the 45-day deadline?
Completing the course after your legal deadline may not meet the court’s requirement, even if your account is still active. Contact your attorney immediately if you are close to or have passed your deadline.
Can I review completed modules in the Florida Parent Education Course?
Yes. You can return to any completed module to review the content at any time during your access period. Reviewing completed modules does not reset your progress.
