PA Real Estate Continuing Education Requirements
Section 404.1(a) of the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act requires real estate brokers and salespersons to complete 14 hours of Commission-approved continuing education during each two year license period.
Additionally, a licensed broker or salesperson who wishes to activate a license which has been placed on inactive status shall be required to document 14 hours of continuing education. (If you are activating a license which has been in escrow, you must take two additional seven hour elective courses or one 15 hour broker course to renew your license for the next two year license period.)
If your license has been in escrow for a period of five years or longer, you must retake the salesperson/broker examination before your license can be reactivated.
The Commission may, for a given biennial license period and with adequate notice to standard license holders, require that all or part of the 14 hours be completed in required topics.
