Georgia Real Estate CE Courses (2026)
To renew your Real Estate license in Georgia you need to satisfy the Georgia Real Estate Commission & Appraisers Board (GREC)'s continuing education (CE) requirement — about 36 hours per 4-year cycle. Below is what the board requires and a comparison of course providers that offer qualifying CE. This is an unofficial guide — confirm any course is board-approved before you buy.
What Georgia requires for Real Estate renewal
| CE hours required | 36 hours per cycle |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 48 months |
| Governing body | Georgia Real Estate Commission & Appraisers Board (GREC) |
Active salespersons must complete 36 hours of Commission-approved continuing education per four-year renewal period (requirement effective July 1, 2015), including 3 hours on the topic of License Law from a GREC-approved license-law course (effective July 1, 2016). Caveat: holders of older licenses with a license number below 100,000 are exempt from CE for renewal. Georgia also has a separate first-renewal post-licensing education requirement for new salespersons (a 25-hour Salesperson Postlicensing course that must be completed within the first year of licensure to keep the license active); this differs from the ongoing 36-hour CE cycle. The official education page fetched did not restate the postlicensing detail, so it is flagged but not the basis of the verified figure.
