Florida Real Estate License Renewal Guide
Florida real estate agents and brokers must complete continuing education to renew their licenses. This guide explains how the 14-hour CE requirement works, what topics are covered, and how to complete your renewal requirement for free through this online course.
Who Needs Continuing Education in Florida?
Active License Holders
Florida-licensed real estate sales associates and brokers who hold an active license must complete 14 hours of continuing education during each renewal cycle to maintain their license status.
Post-Licensing vs. Continuing Education
New licensees completing their first renewal period have different requirements than experienced licensees renewing for a second or subsequent time. Post-licensing education applies to first-time renewals, while the 14-hour CE requirement applies to subsequent renewals. This course is designed for licensees who need to complete the 14-hour continuing education requirement.
The 14-Hour CE Requirement
The 14-hour continuing education course covers three mandatory topic areas required by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC):
Core Law
Updates on Florida real estate laws, rules, and regulatory changes.
Business Ethics
Professional standards, ethical practices, and agency relationships.
Specialty Education
Practical topics relevant to Florida real estate practice.
