How many hours of continuing education are required for licensees on inactive status for one to three years upon returning to active status?

For individuals who have been on inactive status for one to three years, the requirement is to complete 20 hours of continuing education upon reactivating their real estate license. This ensures that licensees stay updated on changes in laws, regulations, and best practices in the real estate industry, allowing them to provide informed services to clients.

The requirement is structured to account for potential gaps in knowledge that can occur during a period of inactivity. This helps to safeguard the interests of consumers and maintains the integrity of the profession by ensuring that all active licensees have recent training and knowledge relevant to current market conditions.

Additional continuing education hours may be required for those who have been inactive for longer periods, highlighting the importance of maintaining proficiency in real estate practices.
