North Carolina Continuing Education (CE) Requirement

To maintain an Active license, a license must complete eight (8) hours of continuing education (CE) during each July 1 to June 10 license period.

Provisional Brokers and non-BIC Brokers must take the General Update course and one Commission-approved elective. BICs and BIC-Eligible Brokers should* take the BICUP (Broker-in-Charge Update) course and one Commission-approved elective. See Rule 58A.1702.

*A BIC or BIC-eligible Broker who takes the General Update course and an elective will maintain an Active license but will lose his/her BIC status/eligibility.

CREDIT HOURS:  The maximum amount of CE credit awarded for any single course is four (4) hours.

Note: Licensees must attend 90% of a CE course and comply with student participating standards in order to receive credit for the course.

An individual who is issued a broker license (either by examination or reinstatement) does NOT have to take continuing education courses during the license period in which the license is issued. However, they must satisfy the CE requirement prior to the second renewal of the license.
