License renewal is every two years, always ending on April 30 in an even year, and requires agents to complete 21 credit hours of education on a multitude of topics.

The content and amount of continuing education (CE) that you are required to complete depends on when your license was issued and whether you are a broker/associate broker or a salesperson.
