Q: I’m a sales associate who recently took the 45-hour post-licensing course at my local real estate school during my initial licensure period. I took the course during a really busy week, and despite my best efforts, I missed 12 hours of the course. Now, the school won’t give me a course-completion slip. Is the school allowed to do this?
A: Yes. Section 475.17(3), Florida Statutes, provides that notice of satisfactory completion shall not be issued if the student has absences in excess of 10 percent of the required classroom hours.
