Which of the following statements about continuing education for real estate licensees is true?

Real estate licensees in Indiana are required to complete continuing education to maintain their licensure, and the specific requirement is that they must complete 36 hours of continuing education during each renewal period. This requirement is designed to ensure that licensees stay current with laws, regulations, and practices in the real estate industry, thus enhancing their professional skills and knowledge.

While there are options for taking courses, the primary focus is on the necessity of completing the total hours—36—during the designated period to maintain an active license. This requirement is mandatory and reflects the ongoing commitment to professionalism and competence within the industry. Other answers do not accurately represent the requirements set forth by the Indiana Real Estate Commission regarding continuing education for licensees.
