After You Pass: Keeping Your License
First renewal, post-licensing, and continuing education
New Illinois Brokers must complete a 45-hour post-license education course (three 15-hour courses) before their first license renewal instead of standard CE. After that, 12 hours of continuing education are required each 2-year cycle.
Confirm post-licensing and renewal rules with the IDFPR before your first renewal deadline.
