Do I need to send the Indiana Real Estate Commission my certificates of completion?
No, but you should retain them for your files. If you are chosen for the random continuing education audit after renewals are collected, the Indiana Real Estate Commission will ask to see your certificates of completion at that point.
Can I take my continuing education courses online?
Yes. Approved courses and providers are listed on the Indiana Real Estate Commission’s website: https://www.in.gov/pla/files/3.31.23-IREC-Eduation.pdf.
Can I take courses not approved by the Indiana Real Estate Commission for credit?
No. Courses and course providers must be Commission-approved.
What if I fail to complete my continuing education courses by the deadline?
You will be subject to audit. If found to be in non-compliance, you will be subject to a civil penalty of up to $5000 and will be required to make up the deficient hours.
Can I get an extension on my continuing education deadline? Can my continuing education requirements be waived?
The Commission does not grant extensions. Waivers may be granted under the following conditions: service in the United States Armed Forces for one (1) year or more of the license period, or an incapacitating illness preventing either part-time or full-time employment for at least twelve (12) months of the license period.
