The Oregon Real Estate Agency has made some significant changes regarding continuing education. Here is a list of some of the new Continuing Real Estate Requirements for Current Oregon Real Estate Brokers starting January 1, 2011.
What many people might not know is that Real Estate Brokers are required to complete 30 hours of Continuing Education every two years to maintain their licenses.
Here are some of the new changes from the Real Estate Agency which are effective January 1, 2011.
1. All continuing education must be taken from a Certified Continuing Education provider to meet license renewal requirements
2. All licensees must complete a specific 3 hour board approved Law & Rule required course from a Certified Education provider
3. Brokerage Administration and Sales Supervision courses must be approved by the Agency.
4. Certified Continuing Education providers must meet requirements for keeping records, developing learning objectives and ensuring instructor qualifications.
5. Applicants for a principal broker license must take and pass a principal broker license exam in addition to other licensing requirements.
