If you completed the Code of Ethics course prior to March 31, 2018, it does NOT fulfill the Florida State (DBPR) requirement.
If you complete the NAR Code Ethics course on the NAR website it will NOT fulfill the Florida State (DBPR) requirements.
In addition, if you completed the 14-hour renewal course through us and your license expires on 09/30/18, you may still be required to complete the Ethics & Business Practices course. Your account in DBPR will show whether or not you have a “shortfall” for your Ethics requirements.
