The differences are date-related, regarding the specific CE requirement: 

• New sales associates, who are licensed from 12/1/2025 through 11/30/2027, must renew their licenses by 5/31/2028 by completing the 14-hour first mandatory renewal course/courses – General Module and either Residential Module or Commercial Module. NO COURSE EXCEPTIONS.
• New sales associates who receive licenses dated after 11/30/2027, must renew their licenses by 5/31/2028, but do not need to complete the 14-hour CE.

The RE License renewal period is June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2028
