Online Info

Florida Licensees are required to take 14 continuing education hours every 24 months including 3 hours in a mandatory topic. Our online Florida Real Estate Law course satisfies the Core Law requirement mandated by the Florida Real Estate Commission.


Beginning October 1, 2017, licensees must also take the 3-hour Ethics and Business Practices course once during each licensure renewal period. Licensees who complete the Core Law course and Ethics and Business Practices course will receive 6 hours credit toward the 14 hour requirement. The "specialty" course hours must total at least 8 hours. In order to provide licensees with sufficient notice, this change will be mandatory for real estate licensees who hold a license that expires on September 30, 2018, or thereafter.

Online Limitations

There is no limit to the number of CE hours that may be taken online.Final Exams: Final exams must be passed with an 80% and may be taken once. If the exam is not passed the first time, the licensee must re-enroll and retake the entire course, including the final exam.

Roster

Roster Process: Due to the renewal cycle, rosters will be processed and submitted to the state daily through October 4, 2019. Rosters are submitted electronically every Friday. It can take up to 24 hrs. to reflect on student's online account after submission.

*If your education is posted after your renewal date, your license status will go to involuntary/active. Once hours have been completed and reported/posted, your license status will be updated to current/active as long as the appropriate fees are paid.
