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.
NOTE: 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.
