Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
12 hours
12 hours is not the correct continuing education requirement for Virginia brokers; this figure does not correspond to any current Virginia Real Estate Board requirement for either brokers or salespersons, making it a pure distractor.
16 hours
16 hours is the continuing education requirement for Virginia salespersons (associate brokers may have different requirements), not for brokers; confusing the salesperson and broker CE requirements is a common error that this distractor is designed to exploit.
24 hours
30 hours
30 hours is not a requirement established by the Virginia Real Estate Board for broker continuing education; this figure may be confused with pre-licensing education hour requirements in some states, but it does not apply to Virginia broker CE.
Why is this correct?
Answer C is correct because the Virginia Real Estate Board requires brokers to complete 24 hours of continuing education during each two-year license renewal cycle, as specified under Virginia Code and VREB regulations. This 24-hour requirement is divided into mandatory topics — including ethics, legal updates, and fair housing — and elective topics, ensuring brokers maintain competency across core areas of practice. The higher hour requirement for brokers versus salespersons (16 hours) reflects the supervisory and fiduciary responsibilities that brokers carry under Virginia law.
