Virginia continuing education requirements for salespersons include:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
8 hours annually
Eight hours annually would actually total 16 hours over two years numerically, but Virginia does not structure CE on an annual basis — the requirement is measured and fulfilled within the two-year renewal cycle, not year by year, making this answer structurally incorrect.
16 hours every 2 years
24 hours every 3 years
Virginia does not use a three-year CE cycle; the license renewal and continuing education period is two years, making 24 hours every three years inconsistent with Virginia's actual regulatory framework.
No continuing education required
Virginia absolutely requires continuing education for salespersons; claiming no CE is required is factually incorrect and would leave licensees without updated knowledge of critical legal and ethical obligations.
Why is this correct?
Virginia law, administered by the Virginia Real Estate Board (VREB) under the Virginia Code, requires salespersons to complete 16 hours of continuing education during each two-year license renewal period. These hours must include mandatory topics such as fair housing, ethics, legal updates, and courses relevant to the licensee's practice area, ensuring comprehensive professional development.
