Students are not required to complete a course via synchronous distance learning if they prefer to complete courses at a later date via in-person classes. We will work to ensure that you can start a course at a later date. You also have the option to put the class on hold until a later date or withdraw and request a refund.

Deadline extension to Sept. 30
The Commission will be granting brokers an extension of time to complete postlicensing and continuing education courses. If you had a deadline of June 30, 2020 to complete your postlicensing classes, the deadline is extended to September 30. Please see the NCREC website for more information.
What is a postlicensing course?
Until June 30, 2020, a North Carolina provisional broker must complete at least one 30-hour Postlicensing course each year by their licensure anniversary date to maintain an active license status. All 90 hours must be completed within three years of initial licensure in order to retain their license and remove the provisional license status.
A provisional broker’s license will be placed on inactive status if the provisional broker fails to timely complete Postlicensing courses.
There are three 30-hour postlicensing courses that make up the program:
- Broker Relationships and Responsibilities (301)
- Contracts and Closing (302)
- North Carolina Law Rules and Legal Concepts (303)
Note: Students are not required to take the three 30-hour courses in any particular order.
Beginning July 1, 2020, a provisional broker must complete all 90-hours (all three courses) Postlicensing education program within 18 months of initial licensure to maintain an active license status.
Examples for postlicensing course deadlines based on the revised rule (effective on July 1, 2020)
