Preferred Continuing Education Partner

As a Kale Realty broker, you have access to our preferred continuing-education (CE) platform — an approved resource for fulfilling Illinois real-estate license renewal and post-license education requirements.

✅ Illinois Broker CE & Post-License Requirements

According to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR):

• Brokers licensed prior to November 1, 2023 must complete 12 hours of CE every two years (renewal deadline: April 30 of even-numbered years). 

  • That includes 6 hours of Core courses, and 6 hours of Elective courses — one elective hour must be for Sexual Harassment Prevention Training (SHP). 

• Brokers licensed between November 1, 2023 and October 31, 2025 (i.e. first-time renewals) are required to complete a 45-hour Post-License Education program by their first renewal. 

• For CE: courses must be taken via an IDFPR-approved education provider.
