Continuing Education Requirements
What happens if I do not complete my CE by June 30, 2025?
A: You will not be able to renew your license and it will expire. You must then complete the CE requirements, complete the process for reinstatement, and pay the necessary fees.
Can I complete all my CE hours on core topics?
A: Yes. 12 hours of CE on core topics will satisfy the requirement, so long as two of those hours are in the ethics topic area and one of those hours is in the fair housing topic area.
I just received my salesperson’s license; do I need CE in the 2025 licensing cycle?
A: Any individual licensed after June 30, 2024 does not need to complete CE for the 2025 Term.
Will I get credit for taking a broker pre-licensure education course?
A: Yes. Any person who completes a broker course within the licensing term is deemed to have fulfilled the CE requirement for the term in which the broker course was completed.
Do referral agents need to complete CE?
A: No. Licensed referral agents are not required to complete CE. However, they will be required to complete CE in order to change their license type to that of a salesperson, broker-salesperson or individual broker.
If I take more than 12 CE credits, do they carry over into the next licensing cycle?
A: No. Credits are only valid for the term in which they are taken.
Can the same CE course be taken more than once during a CE term?
A: No. Duplicate course credits will not be applied toward your final credits if taken in the same term.

Do the online courses have required exams?

You will have multiple chances to review the course material in order to take and pass the exam.
How do I view/print my certificates of completion?
A: Certificates of completion will be available for all classes you have taken on NJ Realtors® ACE, at the Realtors® Triple Play Convention and Trade Expo, or at your local board/association (if they participate with NJ Realtors® ACE). From your NJ Realtors® ACE account homepage, click on your name, found in the upper right-hand corner, and from the menu click on ‘My Certificates.’
How do my credits get reported to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission?
Why can’t I click ‘Next’ to continue with my course?

What is PSI Exams?

ce@psionline.com or 877-526-6833.
When do my credits get reported to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission?
A: Normally credits are reported to PSI several times per week. Due to the volume of credits to be verified and reported for the Realtor® Triple Play Convention & Trade Expo, it may take several weeks following the convention for all credits to be reported to PSI.
What if my credits are not showing up on the PSI website?
A: It may take two to four business days after NJ Realtors® has reported your credits for them to be posted to your PSI account. If after waiting this time, your credits still do not appear, please contact us at
