Texas CE Requirements
Continuing Education requirements for Texas Real Estate Agents
In Texas, real estate license holders are required to renew their license every two years. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) oversees the license renewal process and sets the requirements for license holders to stay active and compliant.
To renew their license, Texas real estate license holders must complete a specified number of continuing education (CE) courses.
18 Hours of Approved CE Courses:
- 8 Hours of TREC legal update I and II
- 3 Hours of contract related course work
- 7 Hours of elective CE
It is important for Texas real estate license holders to renew their license on time. If the license is not renewed within six months of the expiration date, the license becomes inactive and the holder must complete additional CE courses and pay a late fee to reactivate it.
Overall, Texas real estate license renewal requires license holders to stay up-to-date with state and industry regulations and requirements, while also investing in their professional development through continuing education.

You do not need to physically live in Utah or Nevada to obtain a real estate license in that state. However, our classes are only approved for the state that corresponds with that class. For example, taking the “Nevada Real Estate Sales Agent Pre-Licensing” class is only valid towards obtaining your real estate license in Nevada.
Right now ARTI Academics has been approved for Nevada and Utah.
Current real estate agents and real estate agents whose licenses have expired may qualify for an education waiver from the state. This waiver reduces the number of credit hours you will have to take. You can contact the state in which you are looking to obtain a real estate license to see if this applies to you.
If you have a state-issued education waiver please email an attachment of it to support@artiacademics.com. We will then guide you to a class with the appropriate credit hours.

Do You Offer Real Estate Broker Licensing Courses?
ARTI Academics sole focus is on helping real estate agents be successful (here's an overview on the difference between a Broker and an Agent). We currently do not offer Real Estate Broker licensing courses. The reason is because there are relatively few Broker's in real estate compared with Agents. In fact, most people each day helping others buy and sell real estate are Real Estate Agents. That being said, we do offer continuing education courses which are available to agents and brokers alike, of course at no cost. Our real estate school courses are designed with you in mind and really tailored to help you succeed in the business. That's why you notice our course offerings so different from other real estate schools in the marketplace.

Utah 3 Hour Required Course – Mandatory Residential Course
The Utah Division of Real Estate now requires a new 3 hour Mandatory Residential Real Estate Course in order to renew your license after January 1st, 2020. This 3 hours is a core class. 9 of the required 18 credit hours must be core, and this counts for 3 of the 9 core classes. This course covers various aspects of the Utah Residential Purchase Contract (REPC). Many schools chose rush the course together within weeks of the Utah Division of Real Estate's training of instructors and providing the outlines, however ARTI® Academics has been busy assembling the best instructors and preparing course material for you that will be engaging, fulfilling, and propel your success for years to come. Rome wasn't built overnight!
Why Is This Course Required?
In a nutshell, real estate agents need to be better trained on handling various real estate situations that arise. While each real estate transaction is unique, there are various aspects that are similar. Our class ensures that you are familiar with key provisions, areas of concern, misconceptions and scenarios around the Real Estate Purchase Contract. We are excited to begin offering this course in 2019 with plenty of time for you to complete prior to your next renewal.
When Can I Take The Mandatory 3 Hour Residential Course?
This course is currently in the construction phase and will be available to you before the end of 2019. This will provide ample time to complete prior to your renewal in 2020.
Will you be offering the 3 Hour Mandatory Property Management and Commercial Versions of this course?
We offer extensive training in the Property Management and Commercial Real Estate (coming soon) sectors. That being said, it is not currently in our roadmap to provide the 3 hour mandatory classes. The commercial real estate and property management industries are very niche markets. If property management or commercial real estate is your practice, we recommend taking one of our highly sought after courses.

Why is Real Estate continuing education (CE) essential and relevant?
Continuing education allows agents to learn and expand their skill set in addition to meeting licensure requirements. The real estate industry is continuously experiencing changes and evolving; it is imperative for agents to be up-to-date with new regulations and learn new techniques. Most states require additional certification for existing licensees every two years. The continuing education classes on ARTI® Academics allows agents to acquire knowledge directly from experts in the field. These collaborative efforts were put together to provide an exceptional educational experience.
