A Georgia salesperson completes a REALTOR® association ethics course and wants to apply it toward the License Law continuing education hours required by GREC for renewal. Which statement about this situation is correct?

Correct Answer

C) A REALTOR® association ethics course does not automatically satisfy GREC's separate License Law CE hour requirement.

GREC's License Law CE requirement is a distinct regulatory obligation established under GREC Rule 520-1-.05 and Rule 520-2-.03. Trade-association ethics courses, such as those required by the National Association of REALTORS®, address association membership standards rather than Georgia statutory and regulatory content. Because the subject matter and approval processes differ, completing a REALTOR® ethics class does not automatically fulfill GREC's mandated License Law hours.
