Home, the information below will provide
you with step-by-step instructions.
PRIOR TO COMPLETING ANY OF THE STEPS
BELOW, you WILL NEED TO contact the
Wind Certification

region you would like to work to SEE IF

Step 1: Completion
of the inspector training course offered
by the University of Florida. In order
to successfully complete the course, you
must pass the exam with a score
of 90 percent or better. If you have
previously taken the inspector training
course, but did not successfully
complete the course with an exam score
of 90 percent or better you can register
for an exam retake.
The University of Florida
handles all aspects of the
inspector training course including
registration and payment. If you have
any questions or concerns about this
process, contact the University of
Florida at (352) 392-5684. To register

Step 2: Once
you have been notified that you have
successfully completed the
inspector training
course, you will be required to undergo
a level 2 background check as well as a
5-panel drug screening.
The My Safe Florida Home
program has contracted with 19
fingerprint facilities around the
state. Please click on the following
link for facility contact information
and registration,
http://www.fldfs.com/Agents/ElectronicFingerprintLocations/county.htm.
Upon your arrival at the fingerprinting
facility you will need to inform the
representative that you are there to
have your fingerprints taken as a
wind inspector for the
Department of Financial Services.
The results of your background check
will be forwarded directly to the
Department of Financial Services.
The 5-panel drug
screening can be completed at any lab of
your choice. It is important that you
specify you need a 5-panel drug
screening as there are a number of
possible drug screenings available. You
will need to provide the results of your
drug test to the WCE that you are
employed by or subcontract with so they
can verify the results with the lab. At
home drug tests will not be
accepted.
Step 3: YOU must OBTAIN employment with a WCE as a direct employee or
sub-contractor in order to BE LISTED AS
AN APPROVED INSPECTOR ON THE
MY SAFE FLORIDA
HOME WEB SITE AND receive
inspection assignments.
