“Live” or Distance Course?

Hi, All:


One of my ClassStar.com students inquired a couple of days ago if my online “REPC – Everything You Need To Know” course qualified as a Division Core course and was considered a “live” course.

The answer is “yes” to both questions. But the student was concerned the course meeting “live” criteria. She was thinking “live” was a required feature for the course to meet CE Core credits.

It used to be. But the division doesn’t use the criteria of “live” versus “distance” (e.g. computer-based) as a criterion for qualified CE courses. A course is now certified a “core” course based upon subject matter and can be attended live (traditional classroom,) or attended online. The Division has discontinued the former video-taped core course programs that we watched in our board offices and elsewhere for the Core Course of the year.

For real estate licensees, the division requires a total of twelve hours of continuing education credits every two years, and six of those continuing education hours must be core course credits—live or computer-based.

The Utah Division of Real Estate has gone live with a very cool online system of recordkeeping for address changes, change “cards,” company rosters, your license history, and a portal to see what CE courses you have racked up to date.

Check out the announcement and description of the service here: Newsletter1107.pdf ... and create your account, or log in here: utah.gov/relms.

Tell me what you're thinking...let me know if you have CE questions...
