What does “continuing education” mean in real estate?

Continuing education, or CE, is approved instruction required to maintain an active Georgia real estate license. Most active licensees complete 36 hours per four-year renewal period, including the required license-law content.

How is “continuing education” different from the closest wrong answer?

CE maintains an existing active license through recurring cycles. Post-license education is the separate 25-hour first-year requirement for a new salesperson.

What is the Georgia-specific rule?

Georgia requires at least 3 hours of license-law CE in the cycle. Current broker rules also direct qualifying and associate brokers to complete specified broker-education content within their CE total.

Worked exam example

What is the most common exam trap?

Trap correction

Completing enough general hours does not cure a missing mandatory subject component.

Original exam check

Apply the definition

An active salesperson in a later renewal cycle has completed 36 hours of approved elective CE, none of it covering license law. Has the CE requirement been met?
