The 2025 mandatory topics you must not miss
As of 2025, ADRE added three one-hour mandatory topics that every Arizona licensee must complete as part of their continuing education. Older CE plans that predate these topics no longer satisfy the requirement, so make sure your renewal includes all three:
- Arizona Water Issues — 1 hour (water supply, rights, and disclosure in Arizona)
- Firewise Communities — 1 hour (wildfire risk and Firewise practices)
- Deed Fraud Prevention — 1 hour (recognizing and preventing title and deed fraud)
