FAQs about Broker Continuing Education in Georgia

Our in-person, instructor-led course is for you if you benefit from being in a classroom environment with face-to-face interactions with your instructor and fellow students. A textbook and supplemental materials are provided to instructor-led students. Our virtual courses are interactive and instructor-led with a set schedule. You have the benefit of an instructor and classmates from the comfort of your home using a computer or laptop equipped with a webcam. Virtual students have access to the same textbook and supplemental materials as our in-person students. The online course is a self-paced, independent study course. You can go through the course as quickly, or as slowly as you prefer. Online courses are popular with students who do not live close to a classroom location or are not able to fit an instructor-led course into their schedule. Online students can contact the school to ask questions if the course material is not clear.

Students must be on time and remain in class for the duration of each class session to receive credit. GREC requires a total of 75 hours of attendance.

The instructor-led course fee includes all materials, textbook, instruction, and class exams. CRAM courses are optional and offered for an additional fee.

Refunds are only given if the course is canceled or the start date is rescheduled by Atlanta Partners Real Estate School, and the student can no longer attend due to the date change.

If a student wishes to transfer to a different Atlanta Partners Real Estate School Pre-License Course, they must do so before the 2nd class session of the course. The student must notify the school in writing by sending an email to the APRES School Director at info@atlantapartnersrealestateschool.com with the details of the class they would like to transfer to. Students are not entitled to transfer classes after the 2nd class session has occurred. If the book for the new class is different from the one received for the original class, the student will have to pay an additional fee for the new book.

No, the total number of hours required is still 36. Half of the hours (18) must be approved for Broker CE. Three (3) hours must be approved for License Law. The remaining fifteen (15) hours may be on any approved CE topic.

Broker CE courses are courses must cover one or more of the following topics: Training Licensees, Supervising Licensees, Reviewing Brokerage Agreements, or Managing a Firm.

Any Approved RE School may offer these courses. Check with the School prior to purchasing the course to confirm that they have had it approved by GREC for Broker CE credit.

If you have already renewed your license to Active status, no additional CE is due at this time. You will need to meet the new requirements for your next renewal (in 4 years).

If your renewal due date is in July, August or September, you may renew early (prior to July 1, 2025) and meet the old requirements. Any renewals submitted on or after July 1, 2025 will need to meet the new requirements.

No, this change does not affect the CE requirements for Salespersons or CAMs.

As a non-resident Broker, you may continue to meet the Georgia CE requirements by submitting proof of licensure in your resident state. Simply submit a copy of your license or pocket-card from your resident state, which shows that you are on Active status and have an expiration date later than your GA expiration date.

No. Any licensee who obtained their license prior to 1980, and has a less-than 6-digit license number is still exempt from continuing education. The new Rule does not change the exemption.

Unfortunately, you cannot receive Broker CE credit for courses that were not approved for Broker CE credit at the time they were taken.
