I think it is twelve hours college credit, so four courses, and not just twelve clock hours. Usually in Florida at least that would include Nature and Needs of gifted student, special methods of instruction for the gifted, special curriculum for gifted, and one addition class.

So, essentially a subset of what I did for my master's degree. I'd guess that a person with that level of training might be more likely to be a good teacher for gifted students, but not necessarily.
