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.

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.
