Indiana Real Estate CE Courses (2026)
To renew your Real Estate license in Indiana you need to satisfy the Indiana Real Estate Commission (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency)'s continuing education (CE) requirement — about 12 hours per 3-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 Indiana requires for Real Estate renewal
| CE hours required | 12 hours per cycle |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | 36 months |
| Governing body | Indiana Real Estate Commission (Indiana Professional Licensing Agency) |
Active (or unassigned) brokers must complete 12 hours of continuing education each CE year (July 1–June 30), totaling 36 hours over the 3-year renewal cycle; inactive/referral-status licensees are exempt while inactive. For ongoing general-broker CE, Indiana does not mandate fixed per-topic subhours within the 12 hours. Managing brokers must devote 4 of their 12 annual hours to managing-broker topics (e.g., business/management and legal compliance). First-renewal education differs: newly licensed brokers must instead complete a one-time 30-hour post-licensing course within 2 years of issuance (per 876 IAC 7-4-3, broken into real estate transactions, financing, business planning/sales/marketing, negotiation/counseling, fair housing and diversity, and construction); completing this satisfies the CE that would otherwise be due for the first two CE years.
