Real Estate CE and Post Licensing rules.

All the candidates who pass a sales associates or broker licensure examination must satisfactorily complete a Commission prescribed post-licensing educational course prior to first renewal following initial licensure.

For a sales associate, the post-licensing education course shall consist of one or more Commission approved course which total at least 45 classroom hours, and for a broker, the courses shall total at least 60 classroom hours.

Any licensee who has received a 4-year degree in real estate from an accredited institution of higher education is exempt from the post-license education requirement.

Schools and course providers are required to electronically provide a course attendance roster to the department within 5 business days after the course completion date. Correspondence courses only need to be reported by the fifth day of the following month after the licensee has completed the course.

Licensees are encouraged to visit the department’s at www.MyFloridalicense.com and monitor the continuing education hours that have been reported under your license.

Post education courses are not treated as continuing education courses and you may not see such hours posted on the portal.

Licensees are required to maintain a paper copy of the course completion certificate in case of an audit by the department.
