Rules & reminders
- Salespersons first licensed in the second year of a term don’t need CE for that renewal. Those licensed in the first year do.
- Missing the CE deadline triggers a mandatory $200 late CE processing fee.
- Completing a broker pre-licensure course satisfies CE for the term in which you complete it.
- Providers report your completions. Allow about 10 business days, then confirm your status on PSI Continuing Education Online.
