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.
