Arkansas State Requirement Details for Real Estate Continuing Education
Career Seminar School License number: 435 as required by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission
Renewal Date: 9/30 each year
Hours required: 6 hours of CE including a 1 hour course on the AREC Legislation Passed During the 2011 Legislative Session for the 2012 License Renewal Cycle. Unfortunately, The CE Shop will be unable to offer this course as the Arkansas Real Estate Commission requires the course be offered by schools with a physical location in the state of Arkansas.
CE Shop Offering: 5 elective hours
Reporting: Real estate course completions are recorded with the Arkansas State Board of Private Education each business day as required by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission. Those completions are then posted on the Arkansas Real Estate Commission. It may take 2-4 business days from the time we report your hours before the Commission updates your license and/or updates their website with the hours.
Expiration date of course: Courses expire one year after the order date.
Post Licensing: A new salesperson must complete the 18-hour AREC post-licensure course within 12 months after the date the individual was initially licensed. A new broker must complete the 30-hour AREC post-licensure course within 12 months after the date the individual was initially licensed, unless the applicant wants to become an Executive Broker or Principal Broker. In that case, the brokers’ post-licensure requirement must be met before requesting such status as an Executive or Principal Broker. The CE Shop, Inc. does not currently offer these post-licensure courses.
Final Exams: Final exams must be passed with a 75% and may be taken as many times as necessary in order to pass.
Certificates: Immediately upon real estate course completion, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course Certificate of Completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five (5) years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Please refer to your renewal application to determine if you need to submit your Certificate(s) of Completion with your renewal.
Additional renewal information: If submitting a renewal application via paper, licensees must complete all CE and submit proof of CE completions (certificates of completion) with their renewal paperwork to AREC postmarked no later than 09/30 each year in order to avoid a late penalty. If submitting a renewal application via online, licensees must renew their license no later than 09/30 to avoid a late penalty and have until 12/31 to complete their CE.
Please enter your individual license number correctly and fully when prompted in the registration process.
