Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

8 hours annually

An 8-hour annual requirement would total 16 hours over two years, which might seem equivalent, but Tennessee does not structure CE as an annual 8-hour requirement — it is specifically structured as 16 hours within the two-year renewal cycle, and the exam tests knowledge of the correct structure, not just the total hours.

B

16 hours every 2 years

Correct Answer
C

24 hours every 3 years

A 24-hour requirement every three years is not Tennessee's standard; this figure may reflect requirements from other states or professional designations, and confusing it with Tennessee's actual 16-hour biennial requirement would be a costly exam error.

D

No continuing education required

Tennessee absolutely requires continuing education for license renewal; claiming no CE is required is factually false and contradicts Tennessee Code Annotated § 62-13-303 and TREC rules, which make CE completion a mandatory condition of active license renewal.

Why is this correct?

Tennessee Code Annotated § 62-13-303 and the rules of the Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) require all active licensees to complete 16 hours of approved continuing education during each two-year license renewal period, with specific hour requirements in core topics including real estate law updates, ethics, and agency. This 16-hour biennial requirement is the current standard enforced by TREC, and failure to complete it results in the inability to renew an active license.
