For broker post-license renewal, how many hours are required before the end of the initial license period?

• A. 45 hours
• B. 60 hours
• C. 14 hours
• D. 28 hours

Answer: (B)

When new brokers are licensed in Florida, they must complete post-license education before they can renew their license for the first time. The requirement is 60 hours of post-license education, and these hours must be finished by the end of the initial license period (the first renewal cycle, which lasts about 24 months). This set of hours is specifically required to ensure you’re prepared to take on the broader responsibilities of a broker, such as supervising others and handling complex real estate transactions. Once those 60 hours are completed within that initial period, you can renew your license; if they aren’t finished by the deadline, renewal isn’t allowed.
