How many years of licensed practice are required for licensure endorsement?

For licensure endorsement in Florida, a psychologist must demonstrate that they have accumulated 10 years of licensed practice in psychology. This requirement ensures that candidates have substantial professional experience, which is critical for maintaining the high standards of practice expected in the field. This duration allows for a comprehensive understanding of various psychological principles, methods, and ethical considerations encountered throughout one’s career.

The other options reflect longer periods that are not in line with the established requirements for endorsement, reinforcing the idea that a candidate must balance experience with the ability to effectively contribute to the field without excessive additional years that exceed what is necessary for endorsement.
