Description:
The University of South Florida proudly offers this convenient, well-designed, online ALF Core Training course for prospective assisted living administrators or individuals interested in learning about assisted living.  Our course meets the requirements established in Florida Statute 429.52 and Florida Administrative Code 59A-36.011 and prepares you to pass the state core competency test to become an administrator.

Upon successful completion of this 26-hour course, you will receive a certificate of completion. If you want to become an administrator, you must then register to take the state core competency test  (the state registration fee is $200). Florida law requires you to complete both the core training and pass the competency test within 90 days of your employment as an administrator. The state testing schedule is limited, so plan your core training and testing schedule accordingly.
