You have your license. Now what?
Post-licensing education is necessary for upkeep of real estate licenses. All provisional brokers must complete 90 hours of post-licensing education within three years of receiving the license. This is broken down into three, 30-hour courses: Broker Relationships and Responsibilities, Contracts and Closing, and Selected Topics. Provisional brokers must take at least one of the three courses each year for the first three years after receiving their license.
In addition, real estate licenses must be renewed annually by July 1. At the second renewal, the licensee must take eight hours of approved Continuing Education (CE) in order to renew the license on active status. CE courses are offered July 1-June 10 each licensing year.
If a provisional broker fails to complete a post-licensing course by the end of either the first or second year after initial licensure, his or her license will be placed on inactive status until he or she remedies the education deficiency and requests reactivation of his or her license. If a provisional broker fails to complete all three post-licensing courses by the end of the third year after initial licensure, his or her license will be cancelled.
