Pennsylvania Real Estate License - Continuing Education

All Pennsylvania real estate licensees (salesperson, associate broker, broker) must renew their license every two years.

The current renewal period began June 1, 2018, and ends May 31, 2020. The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission requires all real estate licensees (including brokers and associate brokers) to complete 14 hours of education each renewal period. 

Exceptions are listed below:

Notice for Recent Licensees: The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission has developed 14 required hours of mandatory continuing education course content for all licensees in their first renewal cycle. This provision affects anyone licensed on or after December 1, 2017. The mandatory course must be completed by May 31, 2020 and can be completed in the classroom or online. 

New or Reactivated Pennsylvania Licensees - Initial Renewal Period Only: If the first license was issued in the last six months of the 2018 to 2020 renewal period (December 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020), the licensee does not have to complete continuing education. However, the licensee must complete the renewal application and pay the appropriate fees to the Real Estate Commission.
