By April 30, 2014, Illinois Broker licensees must have completed the continuing education (CE) requirements and applied to renew their license through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).

Here are a few frequently asked questions as we get closer to the deadline and find more at the IAR’s official Q&A on broker renewal :

Q: How can I find out what continuing education hours I already have?

Use the Illinois Association of REALTORS® Education Lookup: www.illinoisrealtor.org/lookup to check your EDUCATION CREDITS for courses taken AND PASSED through the Illinois Association of REALTORS® Licensing & Training Center.

Q: What if I have too many Core CE hours and not enough Elective?

Your Core hours will count towards Elective CE hours, however Elective hours do not count towards your Core requirement. Keep in mind that credit hours for the same course cannot be repeated within the same cycle.
