All active real estate licensees in Ohio must complete continuing education (CE) to maintain their license. These requirements are mandated by the Ohio Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing.
30 hours of Continuing Education every three years, including:
Your CE must be completed before you license renewal date, which is assigned by the Ohio Division of Real Estate. You can check your license status and renewal date at the Division of Real Estate eLicense Center.
This is in addition to your 30-hour CE cycle, and is due within 12 months of receiving your license.
Required every 3 years by NAR.
The Code of Ethics is a set of professional standards established by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) that all REALTORS® must follow. It sets a higher bar for professionalism, honesty, and integrity. This training is not your cannon of ethics training. Your license training will not satisfy course standards.

Required every 3 years by NAR & your license.
