Newly licensed brokers are agents who first earned their real estate license after July 1, 2014. They must complete a specific 30-hour post-licensing course within 2 years of licensure. This course takes the place of continuing education during that time. After the two-year period, brokers must complete 12 CE hours every “year” (July 1 – June 30) just like all other brokers. UPSTAR’s 30-Hour program is a classroom-style course taught at the UPSTAR office.
