(f) Exams may not be used to
satisfy the requirements for more than one industry certification or
certificate.

1. Secondary
Career and Technical Education Programs and Associated Courses with Dual
Enrollment Course Substitutions; and,
2. Secondary Career and Technical Education
Program to Industry Certification Linkage List

least one (1) certification linked to the program on the Secondary Career and
Technical Education Program to Industry Certification Linkage List. A student
must have satisfied the requirements for a course upon completion of a course
sequence. A certification may only be used to satisfy the requirements for one
career and technical education program or program of study. The district in
which the student was enrolled at the time of completing the third course or
more shall generate the funding; funds shall be pro-rated among districts if
more than one district awarded credit toward the third or more course
requirement during the academic year.

students enrolled in the academic year in order to be registered.
(c) A course must have a minimum of five (5)
unique standards from secondary career and technical education program
curriculum framework adopted by the State Board of Education in Rule

the standards assessed by the industry certification. The Department of
Education will review the course submissions after each registration period to
confirm compliance with this requirement and will notify the district secondary
career and technical education director regarding any compliance
issues.
(d) The registration system
includes all career education courses approved for grades 6 through 12 in the

the academic year for the career-themed course registration. Upon validation of
alignment between standards and the requirements for the industry
certification, the course will be added to the registration system for use in
the next open registration period.
(g) The registration system requires final
approval by the district superintendent, which certifies that the course is
being registered in accordance with the statutory definition and requirements
for career-themed courses in Sections
1003.493(1)(b)
and 1003.493(4),
F.S., including that the course is being taught by instructors in the school
