CJSTC Form-76 Eligibility Review Request

This request opens your GovSource eligibility review file for the Florida Equivalency of Training (EOT) certification pathway.

Completion of this form and submission of the applicable eligibility review fee formally opens your CJSTC Form-76 eligibility review file with the GovSource Selection Center.

Submission of payment does not guarantee eligibility or issuance of Form-76. Eligibility is determined after review and verification of the applicant’s documentation.

Assessment Fee Policy
Eligibility review fees ($195 standard review or $45 Florida re-certification review) are non-refundable once the review process has been initiated.

Step 1 — Applicant Contact Information

The information below will be used to establish your Form-76 eligibility review file with the GovSource Selection Center.

Step 2 — Eligibility Screening

The following questions help GovSource identify the appropriate certification pathway. These questions do not determine final eligibility.

Step 3 — Applicant Certification

IMPORTANT — Please review the minimum EOT eligibility requirements before continuing.

GovSource will review your documentation to determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements for the Florida Equivalency of Training (EOT) process.

To qualify for EOT, applicants must have at least twelve (12) months of qualifying full-time sworn employment within the past eight (8) years in the discipline for which they are applying (Law Enforcement or Corrections), unless they qualify under an applicable prior Florida certification provision.

Law Enforcement applicants must also have successfully completed a full basic law enforcement academy outside the State of Florida. Reserve, auxiliary, or other limited training alone does not qualify an applicant for the full Law Enforcement EOT pathway.

Applicants are responsible for providing complete and accurate documentation verifying their qualifying employment, certification, and academy training.

If you do not meet the applicable minimum employment and training requirements, you are not eligible for EOT. Please do not continue with the application or submit payment. Once your application has been processed/reviewed, fees are non-refundable, including applications denied for failure to meet EOT eligibility requirements.

This is better than the current wording because the applicant sees 12 months + last 8 years + full-time sworn + full academy before reaching the acknowledgment checkboxes.

Step 5 — Eligibility Review Fee

An eligibility review fee is required to open your CJSTC Form-76 review file with the GovSource Selection Center.

The standard eligibility review fee is $195. Applicants seeking Florida law enforcement re-certification may qualify for a reduced $45 eligibility review fee.

The appropriate fee will be determined based on the certification pathway indicated above.

Submission of payment does not guarantee eligibility or issuance of Form-76. Eligibility is determined after review and verification of the applicant’s documentation.

Once payment is received, GovSource will send instructions and required forms for submitting your eligibility documentation packet.
