• The eight hours shall include a minimum of two hours of instruction in current federal
  and state law affecting brokers and sales agents.
• Note: look at the expiration date on your license and count back two (2) years. If it shows 06/03/09, then you have to have completed eight (8) hours of continuing education from 07/01/07 to 06/30/09.
• Important recent change: For real estate licensees who renewed in May and June of 2009, you were issued a one-year license with an expiration date of June 30, 2010. If you were issued a one-year license, you will be required to complete any approved four (4) hours of continuing education before June 30, 2010. The hours may be elective or core hours.
• Beginning June 30, 2010 onward, all licensees will renew their licenses by June 30th on even years.
