A newly licensed Georgia salesperson completes the required 25-hour Sales Postlicense course during the first year of licensure. How does this affect the salesperson's continuing education (CE) obligation for the first four-year renewal?

Correct Answer

D) The salesperson receives 6 CE hours of credit toward the first renewal and must still complete 18 additional CE hours.

Under GREC Rule 520-2-.03 and guidance published in GREC RENews (September 2024), a salesperson who completes the 25-hour Sales Postlicense course receives only 6 CE hours of credit toward the first four-year renewal. Because the total renewal requirement is generally 36 hours minus the hours already satisfied through qualifying education adjustments, the salesperson must still earn 18 additional CE hours. The limited credit reflects the fact that the postlicense course covers foundational practice topics, not the full range of continuing education subjects GREC requires for renewal.

Answer Options
A
The 25-hour course counts as 25 CE hours, reducing the remaining first-renewal obligation to 11 hours.
B
The 25-hour course fully satisfies all first-renewal CE requirements, so no additional CE hours are needed.
C
The postlicense course carries no CE credit at all, so the salesperson must complete the full 36 hours separately.
D
The salesperson receives 6 CE hours of credit toward the first renewal and must still complete 18 additional CE hours.
