3-Hour Florida Real Estate Core Law
Keep Florida Real Estate Professionals Current
Real estate professionals work in an industry governed by laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and professional responsibilities.
Those requirements affect everyday real estate activities, from brokerage operations and transactions to disclosures, escrow responsibilities, advertising, and relationships with consumers.
The Class Made Easy 3-Hour Florida Core Law course provides participating real estate schools with a focused continuing education option for Florida Sales Associates and Brokers.
Real Estate Changes. The Law Changes. Professional Education Must Continue.
Core Law Is an Important Part of Continuing Education
Obtaining a real estate license requires learning the laws and regulations governing real estate practice. That education does not end when the license is issued.
Core Law gives practicing Florida real estate professionals an opportunity to revisit important legal concepts and consider laws, rules, and regulatory issues that affect everyday professional responsibilities.
For Florida real estate licensees in second and subsequent renewal periods, the current 14-hour continuing education requirement consists of 3 hours of Core Law, 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices, and 8 hours of specialty education.
The 3-Hour Core Law course is one component of that broader continuing education requirement. By itself, it does not satisfy the full 14-hour requirement.
Florida Real Estate Law Affects Everyday Practice
Real estate license law touches many aspects of the profession.
A licensee’s responsibilities may involve brokerage relationships, advertising, escrow funds, contracts, disclosures, licensing requirements, recordkeeping, compensation, and other regulated activities.
Changes in laws and rules can also affect established business practices. Continuing education helps real estate professionals revisit these responsibilities and remain aware of developments affecting the way real estate is practiced in Florida.
A Focused 3-Hour Educational Offering
Not every licensee needs the same educational product at the same time.
The 3-Hour Core Law course gives schools a focused continuing education option that can be offered independently when appropriate or incorporated into a broader continuing education program.
This flexibility allows schools to provide educational choices that better match the needs of their licensees.
Education for Practicing Real Estate Professionals
The Core Law student is not being introduced to real estate for the first time.
Sales Associates and Brokers taking continuing education already have experience in the profession.
That changes the educational perspective. Core Law can connect legal requirements to transactions, brokerage activities, consumer relationships, and professional responsibilities licensees encounter in actual real estate practice.
The goal is not simply to remember a rule. It is to understand why the rule matters when conducting real estate business.
Verify Current Florida Continuing Education Requirements
Florida continuing education requirements depend on the licensee’s renewal stage and current license status.
The Florida Real Estate Commission currently requires 14 hours of continuing education for applicable second and subsequent renewals, consisting of 3 hours of Core Law, 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices, and 8 hours of specialty education.
Students and schools should verify current requirements with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation before relying on any individual course to satisfy a specific renewal obligation.
Part of a Broader Continuing Education Program
The 3-Hour Core Law course can be offered as a focused individual continuing education product or as part of the complete Class Made Easy 14-Hour Continuing Education program.
The broader CME 14-Hour program consists of 3 hours of Core Law, 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices, and 8 hours of specialty education.
That gives schools the ability to serve licensees who need a focused course while also offering a complete continuing education program.
Online Core Law Education
Practicing real estate professionals often need flexibility.
Transactions, appointments, customers, family responsibilities, and other commitments can make attending a scheduled classroom course difficult.
Through the Class Made Easy online education platform, participating schools can offer available Core Law education while maintaining their relationship with their students.
The student receives access through the participating school’s designated online environment, while CME provides the educational content and technology behind the course.
Keep Continuing Education Connected to Your School
When former students need continuing education, they have another reason to return to the school where their real estate education began.
Offering Core Law and other continuing education courses gives schools an opportunity to remain connected with those students.
A Sales Associate who first attended your school for Pre-License education may later return for Post-License education, Core Law, Continuing Education, Broker education, and additional professional development.
The Licensing Course Can Begin the Relationship. Continuing Education Helps Keep It Going.
More Than a Compliance Opportunity
License renewal requirements create a need for continuing education, but the value of continuing education can extend beyond satisfying a requirement.
Quality continuing education gives real estate professionals an opportunity to refresh knowledge, consider changes affecting the profession, and revisit responsibilities that may have become routine during everyday practice.
For the real estate school, it provides another opportunity to remain part of the licensee’s professional development.
Add Core Law to Your School’s Educational Offerings
A real estate school does not have to limit its programs to Pre-License or Post-License education.
Continuing education can expand the number of professionals the school serves and provide additional opportunities for former students to return.
The CME 3-Hour Florida Core Law course can become part of that broader educational program.
