What is required of salespersons renewing their license for the first time?

Salespersons renewing their license for the first time in Virginia are required to complete 30 hours of post-license education. This requirement is designed to ensure that new licensees gain further knowledge and skills beyond what they learned in their initial pre-licensing course. The purpose of the post-license education is to help newer agents better navigate the complexities of real estate transactions and to enhance their competence as real estate practitioners.

This educational requirement must be fulfilled within the first renewal period, which occurs after the initial licensing period. Completing the post-license education not only helps in compliance with state regulations but also equips agents with practical tools and insights to succeed in their careers.
