In Louisiana, all active real estate licensees are required to complete 12 hours of continuing education coursework to renew their license for each renewal period. In addition, the Louisiana Real Estate Commission requires that your continuing education coursework includes the LREC mandatory topic(s).

LREC MANDATORY COURSE TOPIC(S) (2023)

*BE AWARE:  There is a BROKER-specific mandatory course requirement for 2023.

For the renewal period which ends December 31, 2023, the mandatory topic for ALL Louisiana Real Estate Licensees is:

LREC 2023 Mandatory Course

  • Four one-hour subject areas: Contract Forms Review; FEMA Flood Insurance; Advertising; and Misrepresentation

  • This course must be taken by BOTH active salespersons and brokers

*LREC 2023 BROKER Mandatory

  • Four one-hour subject areas: Agency Relationships; Personnel Hiring, Training, & Staffing; Use of Technology; and Legal & Administrative – Rules Compliance

  • In addition to the LREC 2023 Mandatory Course, this course must be taken by all individual brokers and associate brokers renewing in the active status.

  • There is NO substitution for the LREC 2023 BROKER Mandatory requirement

More Information on Continuing Education Requirements:

  • All licensees must take the LREC 2023 Mandatory Course as well as eight (8) hours of LREC approved electives.

  • Licenses will need to be renewed by the deadline of September 30th and we highly suggest your education also be completed at this time. You may renew your license prior to completing all continuing education requirements, the deadline for education completion is still December 31.

New Licensees ONLY:

  • Post-license Education is a specific 45-hour requirement that must be completed within 180 days from your initial/upgraded license date.

  • Continuing Education is an annual 12-hour requirement that includes hours in mandatory course topic(s) specified by the Commission.

  • In the year completed, post-licensing education hours may be used to satisfy a portion of the 12-hour annual continuing education requirement. Post-licensing education hours shall NOT satisfy any mandatory course topic(s) specified by the Commission.
