Fulfill Real Estate License Requirements with Our CE Courses
Two years after you’ve become a realtor in Kentucky, the Kentucky Real Estate Commission requires that those working in the field complete the following continuing education requirements each education cycle in order to stay up-to-date with what’s going on in the industry. This involves completing 12 hours of continuing education courses as approved by the commission.
At HomeServices Real Estate Academy, alongside providing top-notch pre-license courses and study prep for those interested in obtaining a Kentucky real estate license, did you know that we are among the state’s top real estate academies when it comes to CE Courses and training?
We offer the Kentucky Core Course and subject courses in Death, Divorce, Taxes, Law, and more to help you learn more about the ins and outs of this changing industry as it grows and develops. But first, it’s a good idea to understand the exact requirements of what continuing education is required in Kentucky:
CE Course Requirements in Kentucky
According to the Kentucky Real Estate Commission, all active real estate licensees in Kentucky are required to complete a state-specific continuing education course called the Kentucky Core Course once every four years. No other continuing education course will substitute for the Kentucky Core Course.
Additionally, all actively licensed real estate agents in Kentucky must complete 12 hours of continuing education approved by the commission each education cycle, which is every two years. Of the 12 hours, 6 must be in law, the other 6 can be elective. Credit will not be earned if the same course is completed in the same education cycle.
To recap, new licensees are not required to complete continuing education courses until after the first two years of their licensing in Kentucky. After the first two years of licensing, realtors in Kentucky are required to complete the Kentucky Core Course once every four years, as well as 12 hours of continuing education approved by the commission every two years.
The full list of requirements can be found on the Kentucky Real Estate Commission website.
Licensees who fail to meet their required education hours by December 21st of each calendar year may be subject to a canceled license and will be assessed a $1000 fine from the Kentucky Real Estate Commission, so it is vital to keep your coursework up-to-date.
