New California DRE Continuing Education 8-Hour Survey Course

by | Mar 10, 2011

California

(OnlineEd) Licensees who have renewed a California real estate license at least once may be familiar with the continuing education course known as 6-Hour Survey. In order to renew a real estate license in California, licensees are required to have 45-hours of approved continuing education. Twelve of the 45 hours, 3 hours each, must be in the topics of Ethics, Agency, Fair Housing, and Trust Fund Handling. Alternatively, a Department of Real Estate (DRE) approved 6-Hour Survey course that combines theses four topics can be used for subsequent (not first-time) license renewals. Licensees are also required to have one 3-hour course in the topic of Risk Management.

Beginning on July 1, 2011 the required Risk Management course topic will become part of 6-Hour Survey, which will be renamed 8-Hour Survey, and 6-Hour Survey will no longer be accepted by the DRE for continuing education.  Instead of 8-Hour Survey, licensees will still have the option to complete 15 hours (3 hours each) of education in the topics of Ethics, Agency, Fair Housing, Trust Fund Handling, and Risk Management.

What does it mean for you?

The only change this update brings is the addition of the Risk Management topic to the 6-Hour Survey.  That’s not so bad, right? It gets even better, because OnlineEd® has already made the change.

Any of our Ed-Paks that contained the old 6-Hour Survey have had it removed and been updated to include 8-Hour Survey.

If you are a current OnlineEd® student working on continuing education in California, we made sure we covered you first! Your 6-Hour Survey was updated to 8-Hour Survey, free of charge.
