Each NEW sales associate must renew their license by 5/31/2026.

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

• New sales associates, who are licensed from 12/1/2023 through 11/30/2025, must renew their licenses by 5/31/2026 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 12/01/2025, must renew their licenses by 5/31/2026, but do not need to complete the 14-hour CE.
  
  (Please note: When they are renewing their licenses, they need to answer “Yes” to the CE question on the renewal application. The license will not be renewed with a “No”.)
