What can a licensee substitute for six hours of continuing education with the FREC?

A licensee can substitute attendance at a legal agenda session for six hours of continuing education with the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). This option is particularly beneficial because legal agenda sessions often focus on current legal issues or changes in real estate laws, which are vital for maintaining an up-to-date understanding of the field. Engaging directly with legal experts allows licensees to deepen their knowledge of how real estate laws affect their practice, thus enhancing the quality of service they provide to clients.

Other options, while potentially valuable for professional development, do not fulfill the requirements set forth by FREC in the same way. Online courses, for example, are an accepted form of continuing education but do not serve as a substitute. Attendance at a seminar may provide important information, but it does not meet the specific substitution criteria. Similarly, teaching a real estate course can be a valuable experience, but it is not considered an acceptable substitute for the continuing education requirement. Therefore, participation in a legal agenda session stands out as a unique opportunity that aligns with FREC's regulations.
