As a reminder, all Commission approved instructors must complete six hours of instructor development education each license year to renew their approval, per Commission Rule 58H .0306. This requirement is separate from and in addition to the eight hours of CE all brokers must complete. The instructor education requirement ensures instructors stay current on best practices and reinforces their ability to provide high-quality instruction.
With the NCREC Spring Educators Conference behind us, instructors who have still not completed their education requirement must explore other options. For a list of other available courses, instructors should review the Guidelines for Instructional Educational Requirement (Form REC 3.78). This document explains the requirement and provides a list of different course options along with the links to access them. The list of courses in the guidelines is not exhaustive, and if an instructor finds another option, they believe to be equally beneficial, they can send a detailed description of the course along with a syllabus or course outline to educ@ncrec.gov. Such programs will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Remember, instructors must complete their six hours of instructor development education before they can renew their instructor approval, so do not wait until the last minute; complete your education now! For more information, visit the Commission’s website at www.ncrec.gov.
