Welcome to the
Family and Non-Professional Guardian Education Program 
presented by Stetson University College of Law

Thank you for stepping into the important role of guardian for your loved one. This responsibility carries both challenges and profound opportunities to positively impact someone's life. As a guardian, you are entrusted with ensuring your loved one's well-being, advocating for their rights, and making informed decisions on their behalf.

To support you in this role, we’ve developed a series of fully online, self-paced training courses designed specifically for guardians appointed by the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida (Pasco and Pinellas Counties). These courses provide essential information and practical guidance to help you fulfill your duties effectively and confidently.

Course Features

  • 100% Online & On-Demand: Access the training anytime, from anywhere. You can start, pause, and resume the course at your convenience. The system will automatically save your progress and pick up where you left off.
  • Modular Format: Each course is divided into modules that include engaging video lectures followed by a short quiz.
  • Progress Requirements: You must pass each quiz to unlock and proceed to the next module.
  • Certificate of Completion: Upon successfully completing all modules, you will receive a certificate that can be submitted to the court as proof of training.

Important Notes

  • Court Order Guidance: Your court order will specify which course(s) you are required to complete. If you are unsure, please consult your attorney for clarification.
  • Deadline Awareness: Be sure to review your court documents for any specific deadlines related to course completion.
  • Indigency Applications: If you have an approved application for indigency from the court, please contact us at [email protected] before registering.

⚠️ Please Note: These courses are tailored to meet the requirements of the Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida. They may not satisfy training requirements in other jurisdictions.


We commend your commitment to serving as a guardian and hope these courses provide the knowledge and confidence you need to navigate this journey with compassion and clarity.
