In Indiana, real estate brokers and managing brokers must each complete 12 hours of continuing education (CE) every year, for a total of 36 hours over the state’s three-year renewal cycle.

Brokers can satisfy all 12 hours through commission-approved elective courses. Within these 12 hours:

• No specific “core” courses are required.
• Topics often include contracts, ethics, fair housing, and other industry-related subjects.‍

Managing Brokers also need 12 hours of CE annually, but:

• At least 4 of these hours must be completed in a managing broker–specific curriculum, as approved by the Indiana Real Estate Commission.
• The remaining 8 hours can be fulfilled through elective topics.

All licensees must meet these requirements by June 30 of the renewal year. Those who do not complete their CE by the deadline may face late fees or have their license placed on inactive status. To regain active status, any outstanding CE obligations must be fulfilled and applicable fees paid. Because regulations may change, it is recommended to verify current CE requirements with the Indiana Real Estate Commission or an approved CE provider.
