NJ Real Estate CE - Continuing Education Classes

Note: All licensees must take CE classes except those who changed their license type to the new license category of "Referral Agent" aka SLWRERC - Salesperson Licensed with Real Estate Referral Company is the new name for the license. Yeah we know, it's a mouth full. SLWRERC are exempt from CE requirements to renew their licenses however they must be licensed not with a traditional licensed brokerage but the new brokerage licensed and registered as a "Referral Company". Real estate BROKERS licensed as such for at least 40 years are also exempt from the CE requirements to renew their licenses.

Double Check your license type if you are hanging it in a "referral agency" because if it is not a referral agent license then you will still need to take CE classes to meet the CE requirements for all other license categories required by NJ real estate license law.

CAUTION: Many courses out there are being offered claiming to give you all 12 required credits how may only be 12 elective credits, this will not meet your CE requirement. You need 6 Core topic credits of which 2 must be in ethics, at least 1 in fair housing, and the remaining 6 may be in core topics or electives. Taking 12 elective credits will not fulfill your CE licensing requirement so just be cautious of that. Also note the ethics course in most cases will not fulfill your NAR quadrennial ethics requirement, this is separate from the state required licensing CE approved courses in most cases unless the ethics class was also approved by your local realtor association.
