State Requirements Overview

Alabama State Requirement Detail for Real Estate Continuing Education

Every two (2) years, fifteen (15) clock hours of Real Estate Continuing Education is required.

• Real Estate CE hours must be completed by 9/30 in even years.
• Fifteen (15) clock hours must be completed every two years, including a three (3) hour Commission approved Risk Management course. The CE Shop does not offer the Risk Management course at this time.

Immediately upon real estate course completion, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course Certificate of Completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five (5) years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Licensees are encouraged to retain copies of their Certificates of Completion in the event that they are audited by the state. Please refer to your renewal application to determine if you need to submit your Certificate(s) of Completion with your renewal.

Real estate course completions are recorded with Alabama each business day. It may take 2-4 business days from the time we submit your hours before the Commission updates your license and/or updates their website with the hours. Our submission of your hours does NOT constitute renewing your license. The responsibility of renewing a license always directly belongs to the licensee holding that license. Please enter your individual Alabama real estate license number correctly and fully when prompted in the registration process to ensure the reporting of your hours takes place.
