Don’t Wait: Complete Your CE Early and Stay Ahead for 2025!

While the CE deadline may be June 10, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST, you don’t have to wait until May to start thinking about your continuing education.

What Are the CE Requirements?

According to Rule 58A .1702, brokers must complete eight (8) hours of CE annually to maintain an active license.

• Provisional Brokers and Non-BIC Brokers:
  • Required to take the General Update (GENUP) course and one Commission-approved elective.
• BICs and BIC-Eligible Brokers:
  • Take the Broker-in-Charge Update (BICUP) course and one Commission-approved elective.
  • Important: A BIC or BIC-eligible broker who completes the General Update course instead of the BICUP course will maintain an active license but lose their BIC Eligible status and BIC designation.

Unsure Which Update Course You Need?

Log into your license record on the Commission’s website to confirm your license status before registering for a course.
