Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. New board members have 90 days to complete a training curriculum approved by the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes. Otherwise, you are required by Florida law to sign and submit a broad written certification that meets specific statutory requirements, which must be retained by the secretary and made available for inspection for at least 5 years.

As a Division-approved condominium education provider, you can avoid the written certification requirement by taking The Human Equation’s online training.

New board members who fail to complete Division-approved New Board Member Education must certify in writing to the secretary of the association that:

• he or she has read the association’s declaration of condominium, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and current written policies;
• that he or she will work to uphold such documents and policies to the best of his or her ability; and
• that he or she will faithfully discharge his or her fiduciary responsibility to the association’s members.

We offer a 2-hour crash course and a comprehensive 8-course suite. You can take either one to satisfy Florida’s New Board Member Education requirement.
