Official 12-Credit Breakdown

For the current New Jersey real estate license term, at least six of the 12 credits must be in approved core topics. The required distribution is shown below.

1Fair Housing & NJLAD
1Agency
2Ethics
2Any Core Topic
6Core or Elective

Ethics, Fair Housing, Agency, and Core credits may be used in place of elective credits. Ordinary core or elective credits cannot replace the specifically required Ethics, Fair Housing/NJLAD, or Agency credits.

Deadline and Reporting

All 12 CE credits must be completed before April 30, 2027. Failure to complete CE by that date triggers a mandatory $200 late CE processing fee.

The state says the full reporting transfer may take approximately 10 business days. Education Pathways reports that it submits completions promptly, usually within 24 hours, but licensees should still complete courses early enough for state processing.

Important State Rules

  • Use courses approved for New Jersey REC credit.
  • Keep the mandatory categories in the proper credit amounts.
  • Check your transcript in the PSI CE system.
  • Complete the Qualifying Questionnaire separately.
  • Do not wait until the renewal deadline to finish CE.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the New Jersey real estate continuing education requirements for 2027?

For the 2025–2027 license term, most active salespersons, broker-salespersons, and brokers must complete 12 approved CE credits. The required breakdown is 2 Ethics credits, 1 Fair Housing and New Jersey Law Against Discrimination credit, 1 Agency credit, 2 additional Core credits, and 6 credits that may be Core or Elective.

Can elective credits replace Ethics, Fair Housing, Agency, or required Core credits?

No. Ordinary elective credits cannot replace the specifically required Ethics, Fair Housing and NJLAD, Agency, or additional Core credits. Some mandatory or Core credits may count toward elective space, but the required categories must still be completed in the correct amounts.

Who is generally required to complete New Jersey real estate CE?

The standard continuing education requirement generally applies to New Jersey real estate salespersons, broker-salespersons, and brokers. Referral agents and certain newly licensed individuals may be treated differently, so each licensee should confirm their status through the state system.

Are newly licensed salespersons required to complete CE for the 2027 renewal?

Salespersons first licensed during the first year of the two-year term generally must complete CE for the June 30, 2027 renewal. Those first licensed beginning July 1, 2026 generally are not required to complete CE for that renewal cycle.

When must the 12 continuing education credits be completed?

The CE completion deadline for the current cycle is April 30, 2027. The license itself must be renewed by June 30, 2027. Completing CE before April 30 helps you avoid the mandatory $200 late CE processing fee.

How do I confirm that my New Jersey CE credits were posted?

Licensees can review their continuing education record through the PSI Continuing Education Online system. Because posting may take time, check your transcript after completion and contact the provider if a course does not appear within the expected reporting window.

Are all Education Pathways New Jersey courses approved?

Yes. Education Pathways is New Jersey Real Estate Commission provider P2220282. Each course card and product page identifies the official course approval number so you can verify the credit before enrolling.

Can I complete all 12 credits online with Education Pathways?

Yes. The Education Pathways 12-credit New Jersey Real Estate Renewal Bundle combines the required course categories in one online, self-paced purchase for the current renewal cycle.
