Elevator Maintenance licensing in Florida.
In Florida, only a Certified Elevator Technician may build, install, maintain or repair elevators, and applicants must first hold a Certificate of Competency. That certificate generally requires four years of verified elevator experience plus a passing state exam, a registered apprenticeship or an equivalent license, and renewal requires continuing education. Elevator companies must register separately with the Bureau. The same state rules apply in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, North Port-Sarasota, Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Lakeland, Palm Bay-Melbourne, Port St. Lucie and Pensacola, so candidates licensed there can work in Deltona-Daytona without re-qualifying.
Licensing authority: Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety. Confirm current rules with the agency.
