Effective July 2007 the Arizona Department of Real Estate went to a four-year license.  A sales/broker licensee who has a four-year license MUST complete 24 hours of continuing education in the first 24 months of the license period and 24 hours of CE in the second 24 months of the license period.   Since the first 24 month period has just concluded at the end of July 2009, some of you may have received a letter like the one below if you have not uploaded proof of your CE classes to ADRE.   ADRE reports that approximately 1,500 licenses have failed to complete their education requirements.   If you are one of those who received the letter below, please upload your classes immediately and also be sure you send an email to ceconfirmation@azre.gov and notify ADRE that you have complied.  If you don’t then you will receive a penalty.   If you should still need to take your CE classes visit www.hoganschool.com

 

Dear (Licensee)

This is a notification that you have failed to comply and complete your education requirements for licensure.  Each licensee must complete twenty-four credit hours of ADRE-approved continuing education (CE) courses every two years to remain in good standing.  As of (expiration date), you lacked sufficient continuing education credit hours, therefore you are being warned you are now violating Arizona Department of Real Estate Statutes and Rules.  If you are an Employing Broker receiving this notice, you have overall responsibility for supervision and control over the licensing renewal of your salespersons and also may be out of compliance.  Both the Licensee and the Employing Broker, with the correct email addresses at the Department, have received a 90 day, a 60 day and a 30 day reminder of the pending Requirement.

 

While the Department has determined that these circumstances do not warrant disciplinary action at this time, we want to notify you that you are no longer in compliance with our regulations, and implicit concern is appropriate.  Although this letter is non-disciplinary in nature, it is intended to advise and inform you of the applicable statutes and the need for you to remedy the situation immediately.

 

Please comply within thirty days of this notice or real estate license laws and rules may result in disciplinary action.  The Department will consider this letter and the underlying facts related to it in such a situation.  As a non-disciplinary action, this notice is not subject to appeal and will be maintained as a public document in the Department’s files.  Please understand that after 30 days of this notice you will receive a penalty.

 

Visit the Arizona Department of Real Estate website at http://www.re.state.az.usfor instructions  for Education Compliance.  When your  Education Compliance has been documented, immediately send confirmation to   ceconfirmation@azre.gov

 

Sincerely,
