A Florida license Certified Designated Representative, or CDR, is a person who is required by the State of Florida to be employed as a supervisor or a manager at a Florida wholesaler. A Florida licensed CDR has to take a State exam to become a CDR, and must be working full-time in a managerial position.
To become a CDR, you have to have worked in the industry in a Florida licensed wholesaler or a pharmacy in the United States for at least two years. In addition, you have to have supervisory experience. If you qualify, then you would apply to take the state exam with their official forms, do a background check, and once you are approved, you can then come and take the Florida CDR training courses.
CDR Resource Center has all the material that you need to study to take the official State of Florida exam. You can log onto our website and take a virtual course at your own pace, or if you would like classroom style training, you can purchase a Webex. A Webex is an eight hour live training course that provides you a pre test, a post test, and all the materials that you need to take the official state exam.
Yes, at CDR Resource Center, we've done our best to try and mimic the official Florida state exam. It's a 40-question test that is timed, you have 90 minutes to pass the test and you must get a 75% to pass. The questions are multiple choice and styled in the same way as the Florida official exam.
CDR Resource Center is the only Florida CDR training website that has been developed by a person who is a former Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation Inspector as well as a Florida licensed pharmacist and a Florida CDR.
Our online training course is a 15-module course, along with a 40-question final exam. You print the materials and you study at your own pace. If you would like a live trainer, we offer eight-hour WebEx courses. You schedule with a trainer and for eight hours, you learn the laws and the rules. You get a pre-test, a post-test, and all your study materials are mailed to you.
The classroom-style training is conducted as an online live Webex, so you would need to contact our trainers to schedule a time. You can contact them through email. Once you schedule a time, it is an eight-hour course. It can be conducted in two four-hour classes, preferably within the same week, or it can be done as one eight-hour class. The teacher will mail you your course materials, you would do the eight-hour class with them, and then they have a question and answer session at the end.

Of course, just because your company does not require a designated representative does not mean it is not required to follow the State laws and rules. We can train your staff on all the nuances of the law for any entity that buys, sells, manufactures or possess drugs, devices or cosmetics.
Yes, we have many students that come to us after they fail the state exam more than once. If you fail the state exam you must wait 30 days. After 30 days you can take the state exam again. For the next 18 months. You have a total of 18 months from the date that you've been accepted by the State of Florida, to take the exam, to pass the exam. Within that period of time you can take our virtual classroom, or take our eight hour Webex and it will help you pass the state exam.
Unfortunately, working in the industry doesn't necessarily mean you're going to do well on the exam. The exam asks questions that you may not run into working in the industry. But it depends on you. If you'd like to study at your own pace and print the study materials, you can take the module tests. If you learn better in a classroom style, we recommend that you take the live WebEx.
