How many hours of post-license education are required for a Florida sales associate's first renewal?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
14 hours
14 hours is the continuing education requirement for Florida sales associates and brokers at every renewal after the first one — it is not the post-license requirement for the initial renewal, and confusing these two figures is the most common error on this question.
28 hours
28 hours does not correspond to any Florida real estate education requirement; it is a plausible-sounding distractor that may confuse test-takers who attempt to calculate or estimate the correct figure rather than recall it precisely.
45 hours
63 hours
63 hours is the number of hours required for the Florida pre-license sales associate course before taking the state exam — it is not the post-license requirement, and selecting this answer indicates confusion between the pre-license and post-license education phases.
Why is this correct?
Answer C is correct because Florida Statute §475.17(3) specifically requires sales associates to complete 45 hours of post-licensure education as a condition of their first license renewal, which occurs within the first two years of licensure. This 45-hour requirement is distinct from both the initial 63-hour pre-license course and the subsequent 14-hour continuing education requirement that applies to all subsequent renewals after the first one.
