Overview

RULE:

6A-10.040

Basic Skills Requirements for Postsecondary Career Certificate Education

PURPOSE:

To adopt the 2021-2022 CTE Basic Skills Exemption List, which will be incorporated by reference herein and clarify and update language to conform with statutory changes related to the passage of SB 366 which amended multiple Florida Statutes to allow FCS institutions to use alternative methods for placement in lieu of common placement tests. That rule, 6A-10.0315, which is referenced in this rule, was approved by the State Board of Education in February.

SUMMARY:

The State Board of Education adopts, by rule, standards of basic skill mastery for students completing postsecondary career certificate programs of 450 hours or more.  Students enrolling in these certificate programs must complete a basic skills assessment within the first six weeks after admission to the program (unless otherwise exempt), and if necessary, the district or Florida college system institution offering the program must provide basic skills instruction.  The statute provides for some exemptions.  This rule amendment will adopt the 2021-2022 CTE Basic Skills Exemption List, which will be incorporated by reference and clarify and update language to conform with statute.
