Master Credentials List
The Master Credentials List serves as a public and transparent inventory of state-approved credentials of value, directs the use of federal and state funds for workforce education and training programs that lead to approved credentials of value, and guides workforce education and training programs by informing the public of the credentials that have value in the current or future job market. The following Master Credentials Lists are active from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
Application
Secondary and postsecondary industry certifications seeking eligibility for Career and Professional Education (CAPE) Act funding must submit a Master Credentials List application. The submission must meet both CAPE eligibility criteria set forth in Rule 6A-6.0576, Florida Administrative Code & Florida Administrative Register and standards defined in the Framework of Quality.
