Last Minute - OOPS! All My CE Credits Are Not At DBPR!

We have all been there. I am glad I have gotten mine out of the way for this year.

Katerina - Florida's CE system is different than Ontario in that you must take a specific number of hours in each of several prescribed topics.  In our case, we must take the specific number of hours in any of a number of listed topics without a minimum in any specific topic.

Katerina,

I am simply always taking the online 14-hour course, so that I do not have a headache with figuring out how many hours here and there.

And I am so happy that I have that on-line option.

If there's anything that cannot be found on Google, I haven't searched for it.

MD Commission recognizes only classroom CE.

In VA, we can do everything online, but I take the classes.  I enjoy them and meet and greet some wonderful real estate folks.

Ah, that was close-good thing you checked. I like to take the Bert Rogers also. I just got the book and am starting the 14 hour online course so I can be way ready by September!

I think most of us at one time or another have had that heart sinking feeling realizing that something was missing to renew our license and we only had a few short hours to fix it. Thank you Google in your case.

When I teach a MCE course at the end of the month it is always full. 

We also can take our licensing course and the 22.5 hours of CE classes online. I haven't started my CE yet, but I will take the classes to be around other agents. It's less secluded, lol.

Have used Bert Rodgers for years and mine comes up in September. Definitely will bookmark that site. Thanks

I tend to prograstinate on these things too, or do the work but somehow not get the hours to the DRE.

Thanks for the reminder and link, Katerina. My license is coming up for renewal in November, and I know the time to start gathering those credit units is now, but I probably won't do it. I'll probably start to panic in October, like everybody else whose license expires then, you think?

LOL, for some reason, you didn't stike me as someone who would wait until the last minute to do ANYTHING.  I'm one of those pathetic ones who took care of my 45 hours of CE 9 months ahead of my expiration date, coming up in September.

Everytime I have to do CE it is the 11th hour I think.  It is never fun but I guess it is necessary.

Hi Katerina. Ditto to comment #18. You don't strike me as someone who wouldn't notice because you have a handle on so many things including homeschooling. It's great that you've completed it though. At Pinellas Realtor ® Organization we can sit in the class and not have to take the exam. This year I opted for a class through Bob Hogue. They make it sooo easy.

Hi Katerina,

Although you can take a lot of the renewal courses on-line, I didn't feel I go that much out of them.  Maybe it was the way the courses were preseneted - I just don't know.  But if you have just five days and only 3 hours of classes to take - on-line is the way to go!   But as a rule, I take my classes in a classroom...just my preference.

On-line CE is perfect for all of us that are too busy, wait til the last minute, and prefer to work at odd hours.  I'm a fan!

I think on line is the most boring way to take CE classes, but useful at times. I still had 90 days remaining  and just gave up and took an on line course since nobody was offering the 1 remaining class. It was worth it just for the aggravation factor.
