A Georgia salesperson recently completed a REALTOR® Code of Ethics course through a trade association and wants to apply those hours toward the License Law portion of the CE requirement. Which statement is correct?

Correct Answer

D) A REALTOR® ethics class is not automatically interchangeable with Georgia's required License Law hours.

Under GREC Rule 520-2-.03 and related CE provisions, Georgia's License Law CE hours must be fulfilled through courses specifically approved by GREC for License Law credit. Trade association ethics courses, such as NAR's Code of Ethics training, address professional conduct standards established by the association—not Georgia statutory and regulatory requirements. Because these are distinct regulatory frameworks with different governing bodies, completion of a trade association ethics course does not automatically satisfy GREC's License Law hour requirement unless GREC has independently approved that specific course for License Law credit.

Answer Options
A
The 25-hour Sales Postlicense course satisfies all first-renewal CE requirements by itself, including the License Law hours.
B
Trade association ethics courses are pre-approved by GREC and automatically count toward any CE category, including License Law.
C
Georgia's License Law CE requirement can be fulfilled with any course that covers professional standards or ethics content.
D
A REALTOR® ethics class is not automatically interchangeable with Georgia's required License Law hours.
