Connecticut Real Estate Continuing Education Requirements
All Connecticut real estate licensees — salespersons and brokers — must complete 12 hours of continuing education every two years to renew their license. At least 3 of those hours must be a DCP-approved mandatory course covering current real estate and fair housing legislation, licensing laws, and regulations. The remaining 9 hours may be elective courses.
