Continuing Education and Quadrennial Training The Wisconsin DRL requires all real estate licensees to complete 12 hours of continuing education during each two-year licensing period (biennium) in order to renew your license. This is accomplished by completing four, 3-hour classes included in the current biennium's curriculum and passing the exams for each class. The WRA offers real estate residential and commercial continuing education classes on a regular basis and these classes are approved and satisfy the DRL continuing education requirement. The biennium ends on December 14, 2008. Other options for accomplishing this requirement are passing a Test-Out exam or by successfully completing a CCIM, SIOR, or CPM designation course along with CE 3 - New Development. Licensees who obtain their initial Wisconsin sales or broker license during 2007-2008 are exempt from continuing education requirements for the 2007-2008 biennium. 

In addition to the DRL licensing requirements, you are required to complete Ethics Training of not less than 2.5 hours of instruction time as a requirement of membership in any REALTOR® Association. Part of the CE credits may fulfill that requirement, but if you took your CE classes by courses other than those offered through the WRA, you may not have met that requirement. NAR offers a free online ethics course, if you have not met the Ethics training by December 31, your Membership may be suspended, including MLS services. 

This is a "final call" for those that still need to fulfill these requirements. For more information on class availability, please log on to the WRA website at: www.wra.org and click on "education".
