Continuing Education (CE)
CE Requirements
In order to qualify for license renewal or reinstatement, every individual renewing their license as a broker of record, broker-salesperson or salesperson must satisfy at least ONE of the below CE requirements (those renewing as referral agents do not need CE):
Note: - Salespersons initially licensed in the FIRST year of the NJ real estate license term ARE REQUIRED to complete CE requirements in order to renew their license for the next term (i.e., a licensee who obtained their license before July 1, 2024 will be required to complete CE requirements in order to renew their license by the June 30, 2025 deadline for the term beginning July 1, 2023). - Salespersons initially licensed in the SECOND year of the NJ real estate license term shall not be required to fulfill any continuing education to renew their license upon the conclusion of that license term. (i.e., a licensee who obtained their license after
July 1, 2024 will not be required to complete CE requirements in order to renew their license by the June 30, 2025 deadline for the term beginning July 1, 2023). |
Please be aware: - All 12 credit hours for the current biennial timeframe must be completed before the CE Deadline of April 30, 2025. Failure to comply will result in a mandatory $200 late CE processing fee. - It will take approximately 10 business days for the confirmation of your completed continuing education to be transferred from your CE Provider to the testing vendor to the Real Estate Commission. |
