Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
6
Six hours is insufficient under Alabama law and does not meet the AREC's 15-hour continuing education mandate; this figure might be confused with CE requirements in other states but is not applicable in Alabama.
12
Twelve hours is also below Alabama's required threshold; while some states require 12 hours of CE, Alabama's AREC has established 15 hours as the standard for license renewal.
15
18
Eighteen hours exceeds Alabama's requirement and may be confused with the total CE hours required in some other states or for broker upgrading; Alabama's standard renewal CE requirement is 15 hours, not 18.
Why is this correct?
Alabama Code and AREC regulations require 15 hours of continuing education for each two-year license renewal period. This 15-hour requirement includes specific mandatory topics such as the required AREC-approved courses on risk management and other subjects designated by the Commission. Meeting this requirement is a prerequisite for license renewal, and failure to complete CE on time can result in license expiration or disciplinary action.
