Q: I’m a broker and my license renewal period ends this year. I took the three-hour “core law” course in year one of my renewal period and again in year two of my renewal period. May I take it again and get three more hours toward the 14 hour continuing education requirement for brokers during the renewal period? 

A: No. You are only permitted to take the core law course twice. Florida Administrative Code 61J2-3.009(2)(b) states: “a licensee who takes the three-hour ‘core law’ course in each year of the renewal period shall be allowed a total of six hours toward the 14 hour requirement.”
