Continuing Education Requirements

To renew a real estate sales or broker license, licensees must obtain 14 hours of continuing education (CE).

Brokers, associate brokers, and salespersons seeking to renew their licenses are required to complete CE. They may take all 14 hours in elective courses of their choosing.

New licensees are exempt from the CE requirement if their license is issued after Dec. 1 of the year preceding the renewal deadline.

Licensees who have never taken continuing education since receiving their license, or who are taking continuing education for the first time - and who are not exempt as described above - must heed the directive in the box below.

An IMPORTANT NOTICE regarding continuing education for real estate salespeople licensed after Dec. 1, 2009.

The Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission now requires special post-license continuing education for persons who received real estate sales licenses AFTER Dec. 1, 2009, or any licensees who have not yet taken an initial 14 hours of continuing education.

These two, 7-hour courses, labeled as "2012 CE: Required General" and "2012 CE: Required Residential" currently are available live in several classroom locations as well as online.

All other licensees must complete continuing education by May 31, 2012, for the 2010-2012 license renewal period, but are not required to take the special post-license courses.

Ninety percent of live classroom CE sessions must be attended for course credit. One hundred percent of online CE sessions must be completed for course credit. The Commission requires a photo ID for attendance verification in live classroom settings. Failure to comply can void course approval.

If your license is in escrow, 14 hours of CE must be taken before activating the license.

You have two options to fulfill the requirement:

Option 1: Take any live or online elective MCE courses (totaling 14 hours) during the renewal period;
Option 2: Take any Broker Elective Course of 15 or 30 hours.
