Continuing Education Requirements

REAL ESTATE COMMISSION
Delaware Resident and Nonresident License

Continuing Education Requirement

General Rule
Pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Commission a licensee is required to have fifteen (15) approved continuing education credit hours for each two (2) year renewal period. The license period begins on the day following the expiration date of the previous license.

New Licensees - Initial Renewal Period Only
If the first license was issued during the two years previous to a renewal, the credit hour requirement is prorated according to the length of time the license was held prior to the renewal.

Refer to your approval letter, or see the prorated requirement as listed below: If you owe less than the full fifteen (15) hours, there is no mandatory course requirement.

Date of Initial Licensure: YEAR Credits
May 1 through December 31 Even Year 15 Credits
January 1 through December 31 Odd Year 6 Credits
January 1 through April 30 Even Year 0 Credits

Subsequent Renewal Period
After the first renewal of your license you are required to complete fifteen (15) continuing education credits every two (2) years. Included in the fifteen (15) credits each salesperson licensee must complete three (3) mandatory credits in the required salesperson's core course plus an additional three (3) mandatory credits in Legislative Update relating to Delaware/Federal Law, and each broker licensee must complete the 6 hour mandatory broker's core course. All licensees must complete nine (9) elective credits in any continuing education course pre approved by the Delaware Real Estate Commission.

Delaware currently accepts elective continuing education credits approved by the Maryland Commission exclusive of any course relating specifically to Maryland laws.
