Continuing Education
CE Requirements
The Indiana Real Estate Commission requires broker licensees to complete 12 hours of continuing education each year of their three-year license renewal cycle in order to maintain their license. A year in CE terms is July 1 – June 30. There are no longer mandatory and elective education credit requirements. The exceptions to this are Managing Brokers and brokers licensed after July 1, 2014.
