If your license is inactive, you are not required to submit continuing education at the time of renewal.

You are limited to a maximum of 15 hours from that period. A minimum of 15 hours must be completed within 24 months of your expiration date.

Code of Ethics
The Code of Ethics is a 3 Hour course that is required to be taken only if you are a REALTOR® meaning that you belong to the National Association of REALTORS®. If you are not a member than you are not required to take this course. CODE OF ETHICS DOES NOT SATISFY THE CORE CURRICULUM.

How Often does a REALTOR® need the Code of Ethics course?
