Active and inactive brokers are required to successfully complete the 60-hour post-licensing education requirement before the first renewal of their broker license. If the broker fails to complete the 60-hour post-licensing requirement, the broker's license becomes null and void or, the broker may request that a sales associate's license be issued, provided he or she completed the 14 hours of continuing education within six months following the expiration of the broker's license and has complied with all requirements for renewal. The 30-hour Credit for each course required is sent directly to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
