Does anyone know what the "training requirements" are for Florida non resident?

The same as everyone in Florida. Take a class, have a DD214 or proof of competency with a firearm from an NRA or FDLE or military instructor. Fill out the form, have it notarized, get your fingerprints done, have pictures taken. Submitt the package and wait for your permit.

Here ya go:

You must be able to provide a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION from a firearms training class or other
acceptable training document that evidences your competency with a firearm. See the instructions
for Question 6 in Section II below for further details

Florida law requires you to submit proof of competency with a firearm in order to qualify for a concealed weapon license. A
copy of a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION or similar document from any of the following courses or classes is acceptable:
 any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or
a similar agency in another state;
 any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course;
 any firearm safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law enforcement agency,
junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school, utilizing instructors
certified by the National Rifle Association, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, or the
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services;
 any law enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special
deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement;
 any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified instructor or by an instructor certified by
the National Rifle Association.
The copy of the training certificate/document must be clear and legible. The certificate/document must include your name, the
instructor's name, the instructor's signature, and the instructor's certification number.

Other acceptable forms of training documentation include the following:
 documentary evidence of experience with a firearm obtained through participation in organized shooting competition;
 active-duty military personnel may submit copies of any of the following documents that confirm your experience with a
firearm gained during your service: military orders including call to active-duty letter; a statement of military service signed
by, or at the direction of, the adjutant, personnel officer, or commander of your unit or higher headquarters which identifies
you and provides your date of entry on your current active-duty period;
 former military personnel can submit a DD Form 214 reflecting honorable discharge from military service.

Form/Publication Request 790 - Division of Licensing, FDACS

I'd post a link to the PDF form itself, but Florida issues a number to each form, and that would cause anyone printing it to re-use the same number. I used the state police certificate I had from doing my Ma LTC and they were happy with that, but the list of what they'll take is rather broad.

Thanks for the info. I've done the program for Maryland. Working on the hunters safety corse. Just didn't know if I need to take an actual corse. I was looking at the safe or sorry corse too. Just anxious to get the ball rolling, but didn't want to sent it with inadequate papers. Thanks for the info.

Overcome??

I wonder if any of the posters/postings have been reconsidered in light of information that has come to light most recently. We have NOT overcome as long as this type of thing continues.
I am most troubled by the actions of the officials in the aftermath of this tragedy.
Shouldn't the police have gone to the home of the young man, sat down, and expressed their sympathy that they'd lost a fine son?
I carry, not so I can go looking for trouble, but so that I can defend my family if and when it comes looking for me.
