Florida's 45-Hour Post-License Regulations
Congratulations on passing your state exam! Now that you’ve obtained your real estate license, your next crucial step is completing the mandatory 45-hour post-licensing course. This course must be completed before your first license renewal deadline—there is no grace period. Failure to complete this requirement will result in your license becoming null and void, meaning you’ll have to start over by retaking the pre-licensing course and passing the state exam again. Don’t procrastinate and put your hard-earned license at risk!
Course Format & Accessibility
Our 45-hour post-licensing course is available online, live-stream, and in-person, giving you the flexibility to complete it at your own pace or in a structured classroom setting. Whether you prefer self-paced learning or an instructor-led experience, we have options to fit your schedule.
Start Early – Don't Wait Until the Last Minute!
While the deadline for completing your post-licensing course is your first license renewal, it is highly recommended that you start at least a few months before your renewal date. Waiting until the last minute increases the risk of missing your deadline and losing your license.
We Report Your Course Completion to the State
Once you successfully complete your 45-hour post-licensing course, we handle the reporting to the state on your behalf. This ensures that your records are updated and you remain in compliance with licensing regulations.
End-of-Course Exam Requirements
To pass the post-licensing course, you must complete an end-of-course exam with a minimum score of 75%. You are given two attempts to pass the exam. If you do not pass on the second attempt, you will be required to re-enroll in the course and complete it again before being eligible to retake the exam.
Post-Licensing vs. Continuing Education – Know the Difference
Many new agents confuse post-licensing with continuing education (CE). Post-licensing is a one-time requirement for newly licensed agents and must be completed before your first renewal. Continuing education is an ongoing requirement that must be completed for every renewal period after your first one. Completing your post-licensing does not exempt you from future CE requirements.
Avoid Costly Mistakes – Act Now!
The post-licensing course is not optional—it’s a required step to maintaining your real estate license. Waiting until the last minute or failing to complete the course before your renewal deadline means losing your license and having to start over from scratch.
