Continuing Education cycle deadlines occur in the years ending in EVEN numbers

The 2022-2024 Continuing Education (CE) cycle began with an announcement of changes to the deadlines for licensees and has also ushered in a new mandatory course, **"Connecticut Agency Law for Real Estate Licensees"**. The class provides an excellent overview on the new requirements. CE must be completed 90 days prior to Real Estate license expiration on the even numbered years.
The current CE cycle began on **4/1/2022 for Brokers** and on **3/1/2024 for salespersons**, only courses taken after those dates count toward the current cycle. The deadline for CE completion is **8/30/2024 for brokers** and **2/28/2026 for salespersons**.

If I redeem a FREE CE on file for paying dues on time, and complete the course, do I earn the CE credits?

So, I can wait to take all my classes in 2024?

Yes, you can do that but it is not encouraged. Begin now and avoid the last minute rush, full classes, and potentially having to get them done under pressure. Additionally, if you earned a FREE CE for paying 2023 dues on time, it must be redeemed this year.

I took a designation course, does it count for CE?

If the course provider has issued a CE certificate along with your designation certificate, check the CE cert to determine how many CE credits have been earned

I got my license last year in May, do I need to take the CE classes?

If you took the licensing exam after 6/1/2022, then you are exempt for the current CE cycle. If you took the licensing exam prior to 6/1/2022, then you are due to take Continuing Education for the current cycle.

I work during the weekdays. Are there options for me?
