What does “post-license education” mean in real estate?

Post-license education is the Commission-approved 25-hour course a newly licensed Georgia salesperson must complete within the first year of original licensure to maintain the license as required.

How is “post-license education” different from the closest wrong answer?

Post-license education is a first-year requirement after initial salesperson licensure. Continuing education is the recurring education required for later active-license renewal cycles.

What is the Georgia-specific rule?

The post-license course is separate from the 75-hour prelicense course and includes its own course requirements. Missing the deadline has license-status consequences.
