A statewide continuing education course schedule

is provided on the Commission’s website (www.ncrec.gov) under the Education menu. Licensees may search for courses by:

• Education Provider,
• Instructor,
• CE Course title,
• City,
• County,
• Course Date, and
• Course delivery method.

Licensees may take the Update course anytime between July 1, 2023 – June 10, 2024. 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/non-BIC-Eligible Brokers must take the General Update course and one Commission-approved elective.
• BICs and BIC-Eligible Brokers must take the BICUP (Broker-in-Charge Update) course and one Commission-approved elective to retain their BIC/BIC-Eligible status.

A broker with BIC-Eligible status who takes the General Update course and an elective will maintain an active license but will lose their BIC/BIC-Eligible status.

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