What are the required continuing education hours for Colorado real estate professionals?
A total of 24 hours of continuing education must have been completed during your renewal cycle. The mandatory 4-hour annual update course must be taken twice within the 3-year license period, totaling 8 hours. A real estate broker cannot take the same 4-hour Commission Update Course twice to receive the required credits for the update course.
I failed to take the Commission Update Course in 2006. How do I make it up?
Making it up is not possible because the course no longer exists.
Is the 4-hour annual Commission Update Course in addition to the 24 hours required for renewal?
No. The Commission Update Course is included in the 24-hour total. Licensees should have 8 hours of 4-hour annual Commission Update Courses plus an additional 16 hours of elective continuing education.
Does the REALTOR® Ethics course qualify for continuing education?
Yes, but only as part of the 16 hours of elective continuing education. Neither the N.A.R. required ethics course nor any other course required as a condition of membership in an association qualifies for the 8 hours of Commission Update Course.
How does a licensee meet the continuing education requirements?
- Complete a Commission Update Course twice during the 3-year license period and 16 elective continuing education hours, OR
- Pass the state portion of the broker licensing exam, OR
- Complete the 24-hour Brokerage Administration course (if not taken previously for CE credit), OR
- Complete the 24-hour Broker Transition Course (if not taken previously for CE credit.
What if I currently hold a real estate license in another state?
- Persons licensed in both Colorado and a state with which Colorado has entered a license recognition agreement may choose either to meet Colorado's continuing education requirement or to meet the continuing education requirements for the other state. Courses must be taken during the Colorado renewal period to apply towards renewal of the Colorado license.
- Licensees who hold a current license in a state with whom Colorado does NOT have a license recognition agreement may use hours from the other state towards Colorado elective hours, but they must also take the Commission Update Course totaling 8 hours during the 3-year license period.
When must continuing education be completed?
- Before renewing any active license
- Before applying to reactivate an inactive license
- Before applying to reinstate an expired license on active status
