PA Licensees: Per the PA REC all active PA licensees must complete 14 CE credits during every 2 year cycle (current cycle 6/1/18 – 5/31/20). PA REC only allows 7 credits to be awarded in one day. Thus, this course package will give you 7 PA CE credits. For the 2018-2020 cycle, licensees must take 1.5 hours in Property Management and 2 hours in Advertising. Click here for more information.

New PA Licensees who are taking mandatory CE for the first time, this course package will not count toward your requirement. You must take a specific CE course module for your first license renewal.

Realtor® Board Members:If, and only if, you are a member of a Realtor Board, you are required to complete a 2.5 hour Code of Ethics class in addition to the NJ REC continuing education requirement.
