Equivalency of Training Corrections

RECRUIT COURSES AVAILABLE AT THE ST. AUGUSTINE CAMPUS ONLY

The Equivalency of Training (EOT) Corrections program is for out-of-state officers, federal officers, and previously certified Florida officers with a four year or more break-in-service. The EOT process exempts those who qualify from having to attend and complete the full basic recruit academy. Completion of the EOT program qualifies an individual to sit for the Florida State Officer Certification Examination. The EOT Corrections course is 60 contact hours and costs $590.00 per person. Refer to section 943.131, Florida Statutes, and Rule 11B-35.009, Florida Administrative Code for specific requirements. (Note: The exemption through the EOT process is also available for former members of special operations forces.)

Note: The St Johns River State College Criminal Justice Center offers Equivalency of Training classes. However, we are not an Equivalency of Training selection center. Before registering for an EOT class, you must first obtain your CJSTC Equivalency of Training form 76 from a Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) recognized selection center or from an employing agency. Once it has been approved and entered into Florida’s Automated Training Management System (ATMS), you may then register for EOT classes offered at SJR State.
