Tom is a Virginia real estate broker who is renewing his license for the second time. He completed his post-license education during his first term. His colleague, a salesperson named Amy, is also renewing for the second time and completed her post-license education during her first term. Under VREB regulations, how do their continuing education requirements for this renewal compare?

Correct Answer

B) Both Tom and Amy must complete 16 hours of VREB-approved continuing education for their renewal.

Under 18 VAC 135-20-135, both salespersons and brokers in Virginia are required to complete 16 hours of VREB-approved continuing education per renewal cycle after their first license term. The CE hour requirement is the same for both license categories; brokers do not have a higher or different CE hour requirement.

Answer Options
A
Tom must complete 24 hours of CE as a broker, while Amy must complete 16 hours as a salesperson.
B
Both Tom and Amy must complete 16 hours of VREB-approved continuing education for their renewal.
C
Tom must complete 30 hours of CE as a broker, while Amy must complete 16 hours as a salesperson.
D
Tom is exempt from CE because brokers are not subject to continuing education requirements after the first term.
