The Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC) enforces the continuing education requirements for every Kentucky real estate licensee. Anyone licensed before June 19, 1976 is exempt and anyone who was initially licensed in 2008 is exempt from taking continuing education (CE) courses this year. Every other licensed agent is required to fulfill their education requirements by December 31st, 2008 or face a fine of $500 (Increased for 2008) in addition to getting caught up on the courses. Online Classes Now Approved by KREC  In the past, this meant having to potentially drive long distances and maybe even sit in a boring classroom and listen to the same material over and over again. That changed in 2007 when Thornton's Real Estate Academy became the first provider in Kentucky to receive approval from the KREC for online continuing education courses that would fulfill an agents entire 6 hour requirement. (including a three hour law course)
 The only "in class" course required is now every 4 years.

(Kentucky Core Law Course Refresher) The year the Kentucky Core Law Course would be required is initially based on a licensee's birth month. For 2008, if an agent has not taken the course in the previous 4 years and if they were born in either April, May, or June they would need to attend an "in the classroom" Kentucky Core Law Class. Everyone else could either attend approved classes in the classroom or attend our approved online courses. Per Kentucky Real Estate Commission regulations, the Kentucky Core Law Class may not be taken online.
