Ohio's continuing education requirement for license renewal is:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
10 hours every year
Ohio does not require 10 hours annually; the state uses a three-year renewal cycle with a total of 30 hours, not an annual requirement, making this option both the wrong number and the wrong time frame.
20 hours every 3 years
Twenty hours every three years understates Ohio's actual requirement by 10 hours; this distractor may appeal to test-takers who confuse Ohio's standard with lower requirements found in some other states.
30 hours every 3 years
45 hours every 4 years
Ohio uses a three-year license renewal cycle, not a four-year cycle, and the total hours required are 30, not 45; this option combines an incorrect time period with an incorrect hour total, making it doubly wrong.
Why is this correct?
Ohio Revised Code §4735.141 mandates that all real estate salespersons and brokers complete 30 hours of approved continuing education during each three-year license renewal period as a condition of license renewal. The 30 hours must include specific core topics such as civil rights law, ethics, and Ohio real estate law, with the remainder being elective courses approved by the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing. Failure to complete these hours results in the inability to renew the license, effectively suspending the licensee's ability to practice.
