How to get it done

  1. Step 1. Check whether the rule applies to you. A resident licensee who is not exempt completes 30 clock hours. Sales associates and broker associates take 13 hours of required subjects, and brokers take the 15-hour Broker in Charge course. The statute leaves out a license on inactive status and a provisional sales associate.

  2. Step 2. Pick a course from the list of courses the Commission approved. You may submit a course that is not on the list for consideration. A course taken for disciplinary reasons does not count, and the same offering from the same entity and/or instructor counts once per renewal period.

  3. Step 3. For an in-class offering, be physically present for all of the class time and complete all course requirements.

  4. Step 4. Present a certificate and the documents or forms the Commission may require, or a certified transcript. The Commission will not issue an active renewal or reactivate a license until the CE requirement is satisfied.

Questions

What about an inactive or provisional license?

An inactive licensee owes no CE, but any CE not completed at the most recent inactive renewal is due before returning to active status. A provisional sales associate takes a 45-hour post-license course before the license expires.

Can I take Oklahoma real estate CE online?

Distance courses can earn credit, but you must complete every course requirement, including all modules and an exam.

Does a non-resident licensee need Oklahoma CE?

Not if you keep a current license in another state and have met that state's CE for renewal. If you are exempt from CE in every state where you hold a license, you complete Oklahoma's CE to renew or reactivate. The Commission classifies you as a non-resident only if you hold an active license in another state and meet all CE rules in that state.

When is the deed theft CE due?

Each licensee must finish the deed theft CE on or before November 1, 2028.
