- The current three year period ends December 31, 2024.
- New REALTORS® must complete the training within one year of membership.
Training may be completed through local REALTOR® associations or through another method, such as home study, correspondence, classroom courses, or online courses.
Before You Take the Training:
- View training resources for new members or for existing members

- Check if you have completed the course by clicking the “View My Education Records” link on this page.
- Cycle 7: 1/1/2022 – 12/31/2024
