Equivalency of Training

Obtain certification as an officer in Florida without first attending (or re‐attending) a full basic recruit academy in the State of Florida.

Frequently asked questions
Can I complete the Equivalency of Training CJSTC Form 76 and submit it to FDLE?
No. FDLE does not determine if you are eligible for an exemption from training. By law, criminal justice employing agencies or selection centers are responsible for reviewing out-of-state or federal officer's employment and training to initially determine eligibility for exemption. You would need to contact one of these entities to apply for an exemption from training.

What does it cost for the Equivalency of Training process?
The cost to review your information and process the EOT is set by each selection center. You would need to contact them directly to determine what their individual price is. Additionally, each Criminal Justice Training Center determines their cost for the training course, so again, you would need to contact the training center you are interested in attending to determine the cost.
