If you’re a licensed real estate professional in Florida, you already know that required continuing education is part of the renewal process, but the Core Law course is more than just that. It’s a valuable tool to help you stay informed, avoid legal pitfalls, and confidently serve your clients in a constantly changing market.
At License EDU, our Florida Core Law course is fully online, self-paced, and state-approved. It’s designed not only to fulfill your 3-hour mandatory legal requirement but to empower you with knowledge you can actually use.
What Is the Florida Core Law Course?
Every two years, the Florida Real Estate Commission requires licensees to complete 14 hours of Florida continuing education. Three of those hours must come from an approved Core Law course—a focused review of the legal updates, regulations, and risk management strategies relevant to Florida’s real estate professionals.
Our Florida Real Estate Continuing Education package includes this required course along with Ethics and specialty electives, giving you a streamlined way to complete all 14 hours in one go.
What You’ll Learn in Core Law
The Core Law course is built to keep you in the know and out of trouble. Here’s a quick overview of the key topics covered:
Legal and Legislative Updates
Stay up to date on the latest changes to Florida statutes, rules from the Florida Real Estate Commission, and new court decisions that affect how real estate is practiced in the state. This knowledge helps you stay compliant and reduces risk to your business.
Agency and Disclosure Rules
You’ll review agency relationships, fiduciary duties, and the proper way to handle disclosures. These concepts are critical to maintaining ethical standards and ensuring that you represent clients fairly and legally.
Contracts and Escrow
Brush up on contract law, timelines, and escrow procedures. Knowing how to handle contracts properly helps you avoid disputes, delays, and even potential license complaints.
Advertising Regulations and Compliance
Make sure your marketing meets legal guidelines. From signage to social media, you’ll learn how to promote listings without violating Florida’s advertising rules.
Fair Housing and Antitrust Laws
The course includes a refresher on the federal and state laws that promote equal opportunity and protect consumers. You’ll also gain awareness of behaviors that could raise antitrust concern—and how to avoid them.
Why It Matters
Even experienced agents can unintentionally make legal missteps that lead to fines, complaints, or even license suspension. The Core Law course provides clear, practical guidance that protects your license and strengthens your credibility.
At License EDU, we believe education should be empowering—not just a checkbox. That’s why our course is written in everyday language, full of real-life examples, and easy to complete on your schedule.
