Hi Barb!
The topic of ethics is incorporated in a mandatory (core) license renewal course, but there is not a specific ethics course or ethics category for continuing education
The NAR Code of Ethics course is offered as an elective course which counts toward license renewal.
Any ethics course submitted for CE credit would have to be the Code of Ethics or business ethics, as opposed to a course exploring the merits and significance of ethics in general.
Hope you’re having a great summer!
Rod

Hi Barb,
In Michigan for CE as it relates to license renewal, we do not have a specific Ethics category. We do have a requirement that each year licensees must obtain 2 hours of topics involving real estate law and/or legal topics.
Code of Ethics does count towards the renewal requirements, most often as a 3 hour elective course as we do not certify COE as a legal topic.
Hope this is helpful, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Have a great day!
Darryl

NJ requires 2 hours of mandatory ethics training for license renewal.
Yes, courses on the REALTOR Code of Ethics are permissible and they would be categorized under the ‘Ethics’ CE category.
Just ‘Ethics’.
