REALTORR Code of Ethics Training Effective January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2018, and for successive two year periods thereafter, each REALTORR member of the association (with the exception of REALTORR members granted REALTORR Emeritus status by the National Association) shall be required to complete ethics training of not less than two (2) hours and thirty (30) minutes of instructional time. This requirement will be satisfied upon presentation of documentation that the member has completed a course of instruction conducted by this or another association, the State Association of REALTORSR, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORSR, or any other recognized educational institution or provider which meets the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORSR from time to time. REALTORR members who have completed training as a requirement of membership in another association and REALTORR members who have completed the New Member Code of Ethics Orientation during any two (2) year cycle shall not be required to complete additional ethics training until a new two (2) year cycle commences. FREC changes CE requirements Feb. 20, 2017 - Florida's real estate licensees will soon need to take an ethics course when renewing their license. The change, effective after Oct. 1, 2017, won't add hours to the current CE requirement, however, and the new ethics course may also be accepted by your local association/board of Realtors as required Code of Ethics training. After Oct. 1, three of the 14 continuing education (CE) required hours must include an Ethics and Business Practices course approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), which is addressed in FREC rule 3.009(2)(b). After Oct. 1 of this year, you must complete the following continuing education hours for license renewal: * 3-hour Core Law course * 3-hour Ethics and Business Practices course * 8-hours of Specialty courses (which may include a 2nd Core Law course) The change does not impact post-education requirements, which apply to first-time renewal of an initial license.
