Continuing-education requirements for Real Estates in Indiana

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.

Good to know: Indiana eliminated the separate "salesperson" license; the broker license is now the standard entry-level real estate agent license (this record covers that broker license, not the managing broker or appraiser). Renewal fee is $60; if the license has been expired 3 or more years it requires reinstatement at $120. CE is reported to the PLA by approved course providers and verified through random post-renewal audits rather than a third-party platform like CE Broker. The CE-requirements detail page on in.gov returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches; core facts (cycle, fee, CE annual hours, online renewal) were verified on the official PLA real estate licensing-information page, and the post-licensing detail on the PLA post-licensing materials (876 IAC 7-4-3).
