Licensees may take the Update course anytime between July 1, 2020 – June 10, 2021. However, the Commission encourages licensees to take the course as early as possible during the license year, to stay up-to-date on law and rule changes.

Per Commission rule 58A .1702, a licensee must take eight (8) hours of continuing education (CE) each year to maintain an active license, as follows:

• Provisional Brokers and non-BIC Brokers must take the General Update course and one Commission-approved elective.

• BICs and BIC-Eligible Brokers should* take the BICUP (Broker-in-Charge Update) course and one Commission-approved elective.

*A broker with BIC-Eligible status who takes the General Update course and an elective will maintain an Active license but will lose his/her BIC Eligible status and BIC designation.

If you have questions about the CE requirement, contact the Education and Licensing Division at 919.875-3700 or LS@ ncrec.gov.
