Claim your FREE CE 45-Hour Package of Online CE Courses for your License Renewal. All packages meet DRE requirements for mandatory subjects and course categories.  All packages below include an ethics course that also fulfills the REALTOR® Code of Ethics Training Requirement for NAR.

In 2025, C.A.R. will offer a CE package featuring 1 Ethics course and 1 Fair Housing course. Together, these will meet NAR’s newest requirement that asks for REALTORS® to complete both an Ethics course and a Fair Housing course every 3 years. These classes will be designed to automatically record completed status in NAR's database as the standalone Ethics course does today. This 2-class package will also be FREE and part of the C.A.R. Member Benefits catalog. These same 2 classes will be part of the normal 45CE member benefit package as well. 

IMPORTANT

• Users should review the California Continuing Education Help Page before starting classes. 
• The DRE requires salesperson licensees to take 45 hours of continuing education every 4 years. 
• Users will have access to the courses for up to 12 months after registering for a course package.
• Each package is designed so that all classes included must be completed to meet DRE requirements. 
• Students may not study course materials for more than 8 hours per day. Your final exam will be locked until it has been determined (automatically) that you have been allowed the necessary study time.
• You can take the courses within these packages up to 4 years before your license expiration date. However, you cannot upload your renewal information to the DRE until 90 days prior to your expiration date.
• Licensees in the state of California are now required (beginning 1/1/23) to take an Implicit Bias course and an Interactive Fair Housing course as part of their 45 hours of CE. The packages on this page include these 2 requirements.
• Students may not take more than 15 hours of final exam credits in one day. This means that you may not study for all of the courses and then cram 45 credit hours of testing into one day. However, students are free to either study and test over each course at a time, or they may study all the courses and take the tests afterward over the course of several days.

What members are saying:

"My license renewal deadline was approaching and I was headed out of town for a family visit across country with one course remaining for renewal. Thanks to C.A.R. and Online Ed, I was able to complete my last required course on the plane! I passed my exam and submitted all my courses to DRE from 30,000 feet. Thanks C.A.R., these 45 free hours are the best, both in content and accessibility!"
