Yes. The Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course offered by Divorce Parenting Class is approved by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) and is accepted by most Florida courts.

The Florida DCF is the state agency responsible for approving providers of the Florida Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course under Florida law. DCF approval means that the course meets the state's standards for content, length, and delivery, and that the completion certificate issued by Divorce Parenting Class is a valid and official record of course completion.

You can verify Divorce Parenting Class (operated by American Safety Council) on the DCF's list of approved providers at pes.myflfamilies.com.

DCF approval means the course is valid statewide, but some individual Florida courts do not permit online courses regardless of DCF approval. Always confirm with your local court before enrolling that they will accept an online completion certificate.

How do I verify that this course is on the DCF approved list? Visit pes.myflfamilies.com and look for Divorce Parenting Class or American Safety Council on the list of approved course providers.

Does DCF approval mean the court will definitely accept my certificate? Not necessarily. DCF approval confirms the course meets state standards, but individual courts may have their own local rules about online courses. Contact your court's clerk before enrolling to confirm acceptance.

Is a non-DCF-approved course acceptable? No. Florida law requires that the course be approved by the DCF. A certificate from a non-approved provider will not satisfy the legal requirement.
