Kentucky Post-Licensing Education

How It Works

Step 2

Once you’ve selected your courses, proceed to checkout. Enroll with ease—our variety of payment options makes it simple to get started. Your enrollment will be processed within 1-2 business days, if not sooner.

Once processed, your order status will change from “Processing” to “Complete,” and you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions to log in to your student portal.

Once you log in to your portal, you’ll have the flexibility to learn at your own pace. Our convenient online format allows you to study on your schedule, with the ability to revisit materials as often as needed to fully grasp each topic.

Step 3

Important: Kentucky requires students enrolled in online courses to:

  1. Complete an affidavit.
  2. Pass a final exam (with 3 attempts allowed).
  3. Complete a course survey upon finishing the course.


All of these requirements are integrated seamlessly into our courses.

Please note, Kentucky law limits students to a maximum of 9 hours of coursework per day, and this rule is strictly enforced.

Upon completing, we electronically report your completion to KREC within 1-2 business days. For your records, a completion certificate will be emailed to the address you registered with within 7 business days.


Side Note: After While schools are required to report to KREC within 10 days, we prioritize timely reporting and strive to deliver your completion information much faster than our competitors, ensuring you stay on track and don’t lose your license. There’s no need to mail your completion certificate to KREC—we manage everything from enrollment to completion to ensure a seamless experience.

To comply with KREC regulations, you will need to complete an online affidavit, take the online final exam, and complete the course survey at the end. Students are not allowed to complete more than 9 hours of coursework per day.

Post-Licensing Education

Ask yourself, did I complete my post-licensing requirements as a newly licensed agent?
To keep your license active, newly licensed real estate agents must complete 48 hours (32 hours mandatory PLE topics and 16 hours of PLE electives) of specific post-licensing education within two years of licensure.

In order for a licensee to receive Post-License Education (PLE) credit for a course, the course must be approved by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC) for PLE credit. You are in luck, all courses listed on our PLE page and catalog, is approved for Post-licensing credit by KREC.


NAR Ethics Requirement (REALTORS® Only)

KREC does not require ethics, the National Association of REALTORS does for those who are members. For more information go here and make sure to contact your local board on your status.

Reporting & Completion

Course completions are electronically reported to KREC within 1-2 business days upon completion. A completion certificate, for your records only, will be emailed to the address you registered with within 7 business days of course completion. School’s are required to electronically report to KREC within 10 days, but we report consistently, unlike other providers.

We require you to provide your current license number when enrolling for reporting purposes. If you can’t remember or find your license number, click here.

Access & Enrollment

Access is granted for six months from the date of enrollment. You may review any part of the course within the 6-month access period, even after receiving your certificate of completion. Your course completion date determines the year in which credit will be issued.

Your enrollment will be processed within 1-2 business days, if not sooner. Once processed, your order status will change from “Processing” to “Complete,” and you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions to log in to your student portal.

Course Cancellation

If you withdraw from the course within 7 days of purchase, you will receive a full refund. However, if more than half of the course has been completed, no refund will be granted. After 7 days, no refunds are available. To withdrawal from an enrollment written notice must be submitted to us by email at info@arecareeracademy.com. The cancellation date is when the written notice is received.
