Your single home for Virginia real estate license renewal continuing education — the current 16-hour requirement for experienced salespersons under HB 383 / SB 330.
The Virginia Real Estate Board (part of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, DPOR) requires experienced salespersons and brokers renewing a license to complete Board-approved continuing education every 2 years.
Under HB 383 / SB 330, Virginia’s required hours in Legal Updates, Real Estate Agency, and Real Estate Contracts each increased to 2 hours. Total continuing education is 16 hours for experienced salespersons.
All 7 self-paced classes covering every required subject plus electives — the full 2-year renewal in one purchase.
Continuing education applies to brokers and salespersons who have renewed their license at least once before. First-time renewals following initial licensure are generally governed by separate post-license education requirements rather than this continuing education cycle — confirm your specific status with DPOR if you’re unsure.
Experienced salespersons need 16 hours of DPOR-approved continuing education every 2-year renewal cycle.
Five subjects are mandatory: 3 hours of Ethics & Standards of Conduct, 2 hours of Fair Housing, 2 hours of Legal Updates and Emerging Trends, 2 hours of Real Estate Agency, and 2 hours of Real Estate Contracts. That’s 11 required hours under HB 383 / SB 330, with the remaining 5 hours open to any Board-approved elective.
You get a 30-day grace period after your license expires to renew without penalty. Miss that window and a reinstatement fee applies — and you can’t practice real estate again until the license is renewed.
