Education For Renewal
As a real estate instructor, I get many calls from sales associates asking which education they are supposed to take to renew their license.
They are not sure if they have enough credits, or where to find that information. In Florida, the DBPR has an account for each licensee, where you can find out what total credits are required, what credits you have, and how many credits you still need to complete your requirement. You can access this online at the DBPR website.
I had a student call me and say that they needed the continuing education course to renew her license. She wanted to do it online. I directed her to my website for online courses, and told her to select the link for the class. She tried to renew her license and the DBPR said that she was still deficient. She called me and accused me of not reporting the class. I gave her the file number to provide the DBPR proof that it was recorded. She called me back and said that they still say that she is deficient and could I speak to them. I called and found that she was deficient because she needed the 45 Hr. Post license education, not the continuing education! Pre-license is before you’re licensed, Post License is after you’re licensed, and before your first renewal, and Continuing Education is before every other renewal.
If you would like more information contact me. I’m Ric Giumenta. You can have a good day or a bad day. It’s your choice.
Make good choices. See you next time!
