Why D is correct
Under the prelicensing education requirement administered by the Department of Financial Services (verified in the Florida licensing handbook), the standard 2-15 path is a 60-hour prelicensing course whose completion is valid for 4 years before the license application is filed. An alternative path combines a 30-hour life course with a 40-hour health course. Candidates should time the course so the completion does not expire before they apply for the license.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The 30-hour life course only works when combined with the 40-hour health course as the alternative path; alone it does not satisfy the 2-15 requirement.
- B) There is no general college-degree exemption; the standard path requires the 60-hour course or the alternative combination.
- C) Prelicensing course completion is valid for 4 years; an applicant who waits longer must retake the education.
Memory hook
60 hours, good for 4 years.
