Who determines the topics and hours of continuing education for license renewal?

• A. The licensee's employer
• B. The commission
• C. The state governor
• D. The local real estate board

Answer: (B)

Continued education topics and hours for license renewal are determined by the state real estate commission—the licensing authority that regulates real estate professionals. This body has the power to set required subjects, the minimum number of hours, renewal timelines, and to approve which courses and providers count toward the renewal. An employer may require training for job performance, but they don’t set official CE requirements. The governor doesn’t establish CE rules for licensing, and local real estate boards may offer classes, but they can’t determine the official hours or topics needed for renewal.
