Do I need to report my completed Florida cosmetology continuing education hours?

No worries on self reporting, we automatically do it for you!  It is mandatory for Florida board-approved providers to report completed continuing education credits to The Bureau of Education and Testing within 30 days of completion, 10 days if it is near the October 31st renewal date.

If your license is currently delinquent (missed either the 2020 or 2021 renewal)

If you failed to renew your license in 2020 or 2021, your license is probably listed as “delinquent, active” on the DBPR license verification website. This means you have missed one renewal period. To get your license back to “active” status, you need to complete 10 hours of board-approved continuing education (this course). Then you can log into the DBPR/Board of Cosmetology website. complete the renewal process, and print your renewed license.

If your license is currently null and void (missed 2019 or earlier renewals)

If you did not renew in 2018, 2019, or any time before that, your license is now null and void. A null and void license means you have missed two renewal deadlines. If you have a null and void license, you first need to complete a Initial HIV/AIDS course for the null and void applications. You can find our 4 hour HIV/AIDS course here Take Initial HIV/AIDS course

You will need to include the certificate from this course with your null and void application.

What if I do not see my 10 CE hours reported after 24 hours?

Check your exam certificate and make sure you provided us with the correct license number. If your license number was not correct, please email academy@wuaesthetics.com. If your license number was correct and it has been 72 business hours (24 business hours for our submission and 48 business hours for the department), please email us so we can follow up.  Please make sure your email address and license numbers were correct as well.  

How do I renew my license once I complete this Florida cosmetology continuing education course?

Go to the DBPR website, Renew license. Log in and pay your renewal fees. Licenses are no longer mailed, you can print off directly from your account once you pay.
