Reminder: Complete your Continuing Education Today!

Have you taken your CE courses for the 2023-2024 license year? Do you know which courses you need to take?

The CE deadline is June 10, 2024, at 11:59 PM EST and brokers must ensure they complete their continuing education requirements to maintain an active real estate license.

Rule 58A .1702 dictates that to maintain an active license, a broker must take eight (8) hours of CE each year.

• 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 BIC or BIC-eligible Broker who takes the General Update course and an elective will maintain an active license but will lose their BIC Eligible status and BIC designation.

Not sure which Update course you need to take? Log into your license record here on the Commission’s website to check your license status before registering for a course.
