Florida registered apprenticeships
Florida is a State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA); FLDOE's Office of Apprenticeship is authorized by U.S. DOL to register programs. DBPR licenses trades via two boards: the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (electricians) and the Construction Industry Licensing Board (plumbers, HVAC/mechanical, general contractors). Each license type splits into Certified (statewide) and Registered (jurisdiction-limited). Florida does not issue state journeyman licenses; contractor licenses are the credential of record at the state level, and journeyman credentials exist only where local jurisdictions issue them.
