Oregon Real Estate Continuing Education Guide

Oregon Real Estate Continuing Education Requirements

Oregon requires 30 hours of continuing education for brokers, principal brokers, and property managers. Which specific courses you need will depend on your license type and how long you have had that license.

First-Time Renewals

If this is the first time that you have ever renewed your current Oregon real estate license, you will need to take a special post-license course according to your license type:

• For first time broker license renewal: Take Broker Advanced Practices
• For first time principal broker renewal: Take Principal Broker Advanced Practices
• For first time property manager renewal: Take Property Management Advanced Practices
• Timeshare licensees do NOT need to take continuing education.

Renewing in 2026? The Oregon Real Estate Agency (OREA) will begin requiring a post-licensing exam along with your first-time renewal education requirement. Review the OREA bulletin and OREA website for the most up to date information on this change.

Subsequent Renewals

If this is the second or subsequent renewal of your current license, then you can take any 30 hours of continuing education that you choose. OnlineEd provides a huge range of online Oregon CE courses for your license renewal in convenient packages or a la carte.

How to renew your license through the Oregon Real Estate Agency

After completing 30 hours of Oregon real estate continuing education, licensees can submit their renewal application to the OREA by using the agency's eLicensing system.

In Oregon, real estate licensees do not need to submit their continuing education certificates to the Real Estate Agency. Instead, the OREA requires licensees to keep track of their completed continuing education through the eLicensing website.

Copies of the continuing education course completion certificates must be kept by the real estate licensee for 3 years and be available for review if the Real Estate Agency requests an audit. We also maintain your records online as backups.
