James holds a Delaware salesperson license and has been working for Broker Chen for four years. He now wants to upgrade to an Associate Broker license in Delaware. Which of the following correctly describes a requirement specific to the Delaware Associate Broker license that distinguishes it from the salesperson license?

Correct Answer

D) James must have held an active salesperson license and complete additional required education beyond the salesperson level.

Delaware's three-tier licensing structure (Salesperson, Associate Broker, Broker) requires that an applicant for an Associate Broker license have held an active salesperson license for a required period and complete additional approved education beyond the salesperson level (a separate 99-hour Associate Broker course). Critically, an Associate Broker may still operate under a supervising broker while performing broker-level activities — this intermediate tier is unique to Delaware's licensing structure under 24 Del. C. Chapter 29.

Answer Options
A
James must open his own independent brokerage and can no longer work under a supervising broker.
B
James must pass a separate 99-hour Associate Broker pre-license course approved by DREC.
C
James must obtain a separate federal registration with HUD before the Associate Broker license is issued.
D
James must have held an active salesperson license and complete additional required education beyond the salesperson level.
