Broker Management Continuing Education
Recent changes in the Illinois Real Estate License Act require the creation of a six-hour course for the continuing education of Illinois real estate brokers who have already earned their broker license. This course is intended to provide the knowledge and tools necessary to be an effective real estate broker in the state of Illinois. The Broker Management Continuing Education course is a six-hour, classroom, continuing education course delivered through a combination of lecture, discussion, simulations, and small group formats.
