Educational Opportunity - Mark Your Calendars! Non-Professional/Family Guardians
Florida Law requires every person appointed by the court to be a guardian to receive a minimum of 8 hours of instruction and training on guardianship related matters (four hours of instruction required for guardians of a minor, property only), within four (4) months after appointment as guardian. Family Guardianship classes have been approved and developed by the Guardianship Case Management Department, and are designed to inform those who have been assigned to be a guardian for a child or an elderly person. The class provides individuals with information on the responsibilities necessary to perform the duties of a guardian.
Due to space limitations, and to maintain a productive learning environment, we are limiting the classes to 20 students per session. Click on the link below, to ensure your name is on our waiting list. Please note that due to small class size, we are currently limiting registration to individuals with an active guardianship case in Hillsborough County only. If you have a case outside of our Circuit, please consult the list posted on the Florida State Guardianship Association page for classes throughout the state.
