Common questions
Renewal, answered.
The rules that decide whether your license stays active, in plain terms.
How many CE hours does Kentucky require each year?
Active Kentucky licensees complete six hours of KREC-approved continuing education each calendar year, with a December 31 deadline: three hours of law and three hours of electives. In the year you take the Kentucky Core Course, it satisfies the full six hours.
What is the difference between post-license and continuing education?
Post-license education is a one-time 48-hour requirement for new sales associates, completed within the first two years of licensure. Continuing education is the ongoing six hours per calendar year that every active licensee completes after that initial window.
When is my continuing education due?
The annual CE deadline is December 31. Completing your hours earlier in the year keeps your renewal with the Kentucky Real Estate Commission clean and stress-free.
How often do I take the Kentucky Core Course?
Every active licensee completes the six-hour Kentucky Core Course once every four years. No other course substitutes for it, and it satisfies your continuing education for the year you take it. Century offers it online for $75.
When does my Kentucky license renew?
Kentucky real estate licenses renew every two years, by March 31 of even-numbered years. Your continuing education for each calendar year is due by December 31.
Can I complete the courses entirely online?
Yes. Century's continuing education and post-license courses are online and self-paced, so you can finish them on your own schedule and on any device.
Renew before December gets busy.
