It is through the Dept. of Agriculture (go figure) & if you need to take a CCW course (such as I teach)) the Instructor needs to be NRA certified. You can go on this site as well as State of Fl. and get contact info to have them send you the application packet. The Instructor of the course will have the FL. certification of completion of the class to send back with your application.
The Utah license is cheaper.
No.Is this an online course?
That's not a problem. The OP didn't say this would be his only license. And they don't require you to have a resident license to renew the Utah non-resident. That's only required for the initial issue, so your Utah license is still valid if your own state's license expires. The only reason you can lose the Utah licens is if your home license is removed for cause, such as a felony conviction. The downside to either one of these licenses is that they don't cover all the same states. For instance, the Utah license won't let you carry in Florida and the Florida license doesn't allow you to carry in Minnesota. The Florida non-resident license by itself allows more states that the Utah non-resident license by itself, but this may not matter depending on your home state license. That's the case for me. My home state license already covers the states that my Utah non-resident license won't, so going with the less expensive and easier to renew Utah license is by far the best choice for me. I won't have to worry about any of that after I move to Tennessee because apparently the Tennessee license is honored by just about every state that recognizes out of state licenses.It is, but Utah no longer does non res permits unless you already have your own State's permit.

Yeah, apparently they changed their rules in January. I wasn't aware of that. Sorry.Far as I know UT will not let you renew without having your home State's license?

Assuming you already have a resident license that is recognized by Utah, money can be a factor in your decision too. Florida's license is $117 for 7 years and $117 to renew. Utah's license is $65 for 5 years and $10 to renew. That's what made up my mind. Utah also gets me Wisconsin, where Florida currently does not. My Ohio license covers the other states I need.
