 Degree and Certificate Programs Criminal Justice, Fire and Emergency Medical Services Correctional Officer (5710) Workforce Credit Certificate Program This program is designed specifically for entry-level job training for correctional officers to give students a basic understanding of the duties and responsibilities of the line correctional officer. In addition, it is designed to give the students an overview of the other related fields within the criminal justice system. Specific areas in which students will receive instruction include operational procedures, legal aspects of corrections, supervisory practices and related technical skills. Note: As part of the application process, students are required to take and pass the Florida Basic Abilities Test (FBAT), a driving history check, physical agility testing, drug screening, health physical, medical examination, polygraph, background investigations and oral interview. Students must also be 19 years of age, have a valid drivers license, take the TABE test (10.0 required in all areas for completion), and be an American citizen. Upon successful completion of the law enforcement basic recruitment training students may receive up to 28 hours of college credit depending upon the program of study the student is enrolled in. At the discretion of the dean, a waiver of prerequisites for this course may be obtained at the request of an agency or based upon the classes needed of an out-of-state officer entering into the Florida certification program.
*Students who have satisfactory test scores are not required to take these courses.
