Did you know that there are changes coming that may affect your continuing education requirements?
Beginning April 1st, 2011 the DRE has made some changes. Go to www.dre.ca.gov/changes2011and see changes that you should be aware of.
In a nutshell, it's going to be much easier for most salespeople/brokers to complete their continuing education requirements BEFORE April 1st, 2011. After that day, there are new rules about how many times you can take your tests - and there will be more regulation.

* For example: You can complete your CE requirements in 2011 and just hold onto them. If your license expires in 2013 those very credits you eared are STILL valid. (CE's stay valid for 4 years)
There are many companies that can help you with your continuing education requirements including First Tuesday, www.firsttuesday.us and Allied Schools, www.brokerlicense.com. With First Tuesday, if you are doing your first renewal, the costs run $34 and higher for the 15- hour first time course. If you are more seasoned and doing your continuing education requirements for the 2nd time or beyond, it costs about $45 and higher for the 45 hour course. These courses are purely online and you don't need to purchase any books - the books are online as PDF's.
Either way, it might be wise for you to look into getting YOUR CE's done early, as they're good for 4 years after you complete them.
