A Georgia associate broker is preparing a CE plan for the next four-year renewal cycle. The broker knows that Georgia requires 36 total CE hours per renewal period. Under recent rule changes, what additional content requirement applies specifically to brokers?

Correct Answer

A) Beginning July 1, 2025, Georgia brokers must include at least 18 hours of broker-specific topics within the overall 36-hour CE requirement.

Under the 2025 Broker CE Rule Change (effective July 1, 2025), GREC added a requirement that brokers must complete at least 18 hours of broker-specific topics — such as trust account management, brokerage operations, and supervisory responsibilities — within the existing 36-hour total CE requirement. This means the overall 36-hour total remains unchanged, but brokers now have a mandated content allocation ensuring they receive education relevant to their supervisory and management duties. The remaining 18 hours may be filled with other approved CE courses, including the required Georgia License Law hours.
