A supervising broker endorsement will be issued to any broker completing an 8-hour approved supervising broker pre-endorsement course. Each licensing year, a supervising broker must complete 12 hours of continuing education. Four (4) of those hours must be education in the area of supervising broker continuing education.

The required hours shall be in real estate continuing education courses that are:

(b) endorsed by a national, state, or local Association of REALTORS®, or a national, state, or local real estate, landlords, or property management association.

The licensee must attend 90 percent of the first hour and 100 percent of each additional hour of the approved course time to receive credit.

The individual course credit application and fee must be filed with the board office within 30 days after course completion to avoid a late fee.
