Free 14-Hour Real Estate CE for Rotonda West, FL Agents

Rotonda West is an unincorporated, golf-and-canal community in western Charlotte County, sitting between Englewood and Placida. Agents there often work listings and buyers across Englewood, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and the Sarasota County line, so staying current on Florida license law matters on every side of that market. This free, self-paced online course from Sunstate Real Estate School, a DBPR-approved real estate school (Provider # ZH1002805), sponsored by DCA Florida Homes, lets Rotonda West agents finish their Florida renewal CE without paying for a course.

What the 14 hours cover

Florida sales associates and brokers renewing after their first renewal complete 14 hours of FREC-approved continuing education each two-year license period: 3 hours of Core Law, 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices and 8 hours of specialty education. This course covers all 14 hours in one place, with short unit quizzes, a final exam and a certificate of completion.

  • 3 hours of Core Law
  • 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices
  • 8 hours of specialty education

When Rotonda West agents need to renew

Florida real estate licenses expire on March 31 or September 30, every two years. Your exact expiration date is shown on your license record with the DBPR. Finish your CE before that date so your license stays active; give yourself a few days for completion to be reported. If you are not sure of your date, look up your license on the DBPR website or see our Florida license renewal guide and our guide to checking your CE hours with the DBPR.

First renewal? Post-licensing comes first

If this is your first renewal as a sales associate, Florida requires post-licensing education (45 hours for sales associates, 60 hours for brokers) instead of the 14-hour CE. After your first renewal, the 14-hour CE applies every cycle. See our post-licensing vs. continuing education guide to confirm which requirement applies to you.
