| In 2001 the FBOP change the rules regarding internship. They no longer require any internship hours other than those acquired via your curriculum for a person to be eligible to be licensure in Florida. So if a person wants to be licensed here in Florida their degree is sufficient. The problem is that most of the other states BOP's require internship hours prior to licensure and will only accept hours that have been reported directly to them or have been forwarded to them from another BOP. This means that if a student would like to eventually be licensed in another state they would need to complete internship hours and have them reported to the FBOP so that the FBOP could send it to the other state at the appropriate time. What this means for you... If you would like to keep track of your internship hours so that if you ever decide to be licensed in another state then you need to document the hours. There are two ways to do so.
At graduation if you are going to a state which wants to see evidence of your internship hours the FBOP will provide a letter stating that you have at LEAST 2080 hours. You will in fact have much more. If the BOP of the state requires any furthere evidence of your hours (that you did more, or hour the hours break down) then the Office of Experiential Programs can write a letter to the BOP for you. In some cases this will not work. Either way the FBOP will not provide any additional confirmation.
