Pennsylvania continuing education requirements for license renewal include:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
8 hours every 2 years
An 8-hour requirement is not sufficient under Pennsylvania law and does not meet the 14-hour mandate established by RELRA; this lower figure might be confused with CE requirements in other professions or other states.
14 hours every 2 years
24 hours every 2 years
24 hours per two-year period would exceed Pennsylvania's requirement and is more consistent with CE mandates in states like California, which requires 45 hours every four years for brokers; Pennsylvania's requirement is deliberately set lower at 14 hours.
30 hours every 2 years
30 hours per two-year period is not required in Pennsylvania and would represent an unusually high CE burden; this figure may be confused with the 30 hours of pre-licensure education required for salesperson candidates in some contexts.
Why is this correct?
Under 63 P.S. § 455.404a of Pennsylvania's Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act, all active licensees — including salespersons and brokers — must complete 14 hours of approved continuing education during each two-year license renewal period. Of those 14 hours, the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission specifies required topic areas including mandatory modules on real estate subjects designated by the Commission, ensuring licensees receive training in areas deemed most critical to consumer protection. Failure to complete the 14 hours by the renewal deadline results in license lapse and the requirement to apply for reinstatement.
