12 hours annually
24 hours every 3 years
24 hours every three years would average only 8 hours per year, which is below Colorado's actual annual requirement of 12 hours, and Colorado does not use a three-year renewal cycle for its continuing education structure.
48 hours every 3 years
48 hours every three years would average 16 hours per year, which exceeds Colorado's actual requirement, and this figure does not correspond to Colorado's licensing renewal structure or the Commission's published rules.
No continuing education required
Colorado absolutely requires continuing education for license renewal; eliminating this requirement would be inconsistent with the state's consumer protection mandate and the Colorado Real Estate Commission's regulatory authority over licensee competency.
Why is this correct?
Colorado Revised Statutes and the Colorado Real Estate Commission rules require active real estate licensees to complete 12 hours of continuing education annually as a condition of license renewal, with specific mandatory topics prescribed by the Commission each year. The Commission typically designates a portion of these hours as mandatory (covering topics such as the annual Commission Update course) and allows the remainder to be completed in elective courses approved by the Division of Real Estate. Failure to complete the full 12 hours by the annual renewal deadline results in license expiration, requiring the licensee to meet reinstatement requirements before practicing again.
