Once licensed, a Provisional Broker must complete three 30- hour post-licensing courses in order to terminate the “Provisional” status of their license and to avoid license inactivation and possible eventual cancellation.
Licensees will need to take at least one 30-hour Broker Post-Licensing course by the anniversary date of your license each year for the first three years of licensure.
You may take all 90 hours during your first year of licensure, you can take them in any order, but you must take all three courses without duplicating.
*You can overlap two Post-licensing courses as long as you don’t exceed 30 hours in a 7-day period.
*Licensees must also complete their required CE courses prior to the second renewal of their license.

All courses MUST be completed by June 10th to ensure a timely renewal. It is very important to note that continuing education providers are not permitted to offer courses for CE credit between June 11 and June 30 of each year to allow time for sponsors to file reports to the Commission and for the Commission to process such reports. Thus, you will not be able to complete your CE requirement between June 11 and June 30 of each year.
All BICs (Broker in Charge) or BIC eligible licensees are required by State Law to attend a 4 Hour BIC Annual Review Course which must be completed in a classroom in addition to the 4 hour elective credit.
The BIC course is reserved exclusively for current BICs or those brokers seeking to maintain BIC eligibility. Any broker not falling into either of these categories will not be granted CE credit.
NOTE: A recent law change requires that all Broker licenses be renewed on the North Carolina Real Estate Commission website.
