Cosmetology Continuing Education Provider – Certus Safety Division, Florida Online Cosmetology
Florida Online Cosmetology, operated by Certus Safety Division, runs an online platform offering cosmetology training and continuing education courses approved by the Florida Board of Cosmetology. The provider focuses on both initial licensure training and license renewal for several beauty industry professions, delivering its coursework entirely online to students across the state.
The firm offers several course types. A 4-hour HIV and AIDS training course meets a requirement for initial cosmetology licensure. A 10-hour continuing education course, listed as Course #0501472, serves cosmetologists, facial specialists, full specialists, and nail technicians who are renewing their licenses. A separate 2-hour HIV and AIDS course is offered specifically for barbers. This structure covers both new licensees and the recurring education that existing license holders must complete.
Florida’s 10-hour continuing education requirement, as outlined on the site, includes instruction in HIV and AIDS and communicable diseases, sanitation and sterilization, OSHA regulations, workers’ compensation law, state and federal cosmetology regulations, chemical makeup education, environmental issues, and additional approved topics. The detailed breakdown specifies one hour on HIV and AIDS, three hours on sanitation and sterilization, 30 minutes on OSHA, 30 minutes on workers’ compensation, two hours on state and federal laws, one hour on chemical makeup, one hour on environmental issues, and one hour of flexible continuing education content.
The platform advertises courses that are 100% online, with registration described as possible in less than five minutes and no membership required. Students receive unlimited exam attempts, and the completion process involves three steps: registration, completion of the course material, and passing the exam.
Contact services are available through a Help Center, and student login access is provided via a Fusion platform. The website maintains terms and conditions, privacy, and refund policies for enrolled students throughout Florida.
