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.  🎯 Why Use Our Preferred Partner Portal The portal is built on an IDFPR-approved platform, ensuring all courses satisfy regulatory requirements. It covers both standard CE and post-license education — depending on your license status. Offers flexible delivery (online / self-paced or webinar/live) to suit busy schedules. Once completed, course rosters are submitted to IDFPR electronically where permitted — streamlining license renewal compliance. 📝 How to Access & Use the Portal Visit our Preferred CE Portal here: [Kale Realty CE Portal] ( https://kalerealty.leaponline.com/online-education/illinois/real-estate/broker/continuing-education/courses.html ) Log in with your broker credentials (if required). Select the package appropriate for your situation — either the 12-hour CE renewal package  (for renewing brokers) or the 45-hour Post-License program  (for first-time renewals), or individual elective/Core courses as needed. Complete the coursework at your pace (online/self-study or live webinar). Download and save your completion certificate for your records. In most cases, course completions are reported directly to IDFPR. When ready, submit your license renewal application (by April 30 in even-numbered years) with confidence, knowing you’ve met CE requirements.
