A newly licensed Georgia salesperson completed a 4-hour REALTOR® association ethics course and wants to count those hours toward the Georgia License Law CE requirement for renewal. How does GREC treat trade-association ethics courses in relation to the mandatory License Law CE hours?

Correct Answer

A) Trade-association ethics courses and Georgia License Law CE hours are separate requirements; completing one does not automatically satisfy the other.

Under GREC Rule 520-2-.03 and related CE provisions, Georgia's mandatory License Law CE hours must cover Georgia-specific real estate law and GREC regulatory topics. Trade-association ethics courses—such as those required by the National Association of REALTORS®—address the organization's own Code of Ethics, which is a separate body of professional standards. GREC does not automatically recognize trade-association ethics training as fulfilling the License Law requirement because the subject matter, governing authority, and educational objectives differ. Licensees must complete GREC-approved License Law courses to satisfy that specific CE mandate.

Answer Options
A
Trade-association ethics courses and Georgia License Law CE hours are separate requirements; completing one does not automatically satisfy the other.
B
Trade-association ethics courses are accepted as Georgia License Law CE hours because both cover professional standards of conduct.
C
GREC accepts trade-association ethics courses as License Law credit only if the course exceeds 6 hours in length.
D
Trade-association ethics courses count toward the License Law requirement for salespersons but not for brokers.
