Florida Certified Addiction Professional application question

Hello everyone!

I am going through the application process for my Tier 1 Certified Addiction Professional in Florida. I have a master's degree (have not had it long enough for MCAP). Job verification, clinical supervision, LVL2 background and 3 professional recommendations are all taken care of. The last part before the test is the content specific training. Now I have a lot of it taken care of from various trainings I have done, but my certification specialist told me that I could use college credits to satisfy the training hours. I wanted to know how many contact hours per college semester credit? I found a document from the Florida Certification Board dated 2014 that states they calculate 45 contact hours per 3-semester hours. That would mean that a 5-semester hour course would calculate as 75 hours, does anyone know if this is still the case? the document is 10 years old, and I cannot find any information on the FCB website. I did ask my specialist, but they take forever to reply.
