If a license has been inactive for 3 and a half years, how many commission-approved courses must be completed to activate it?

In Georgia, if a real estate license has been inactive for three and a half years, the licensee is required to complete a total of 36 hours of commission-approved continuing education courses before being able to reactivate their license. This requirement is designed to ensure that the individual is up to date with current laws, regulations, and best practices in the real estate profession.

The emphasis on completing such a substantial number of hours underscores the importance of ongoing education in maintaining professional competence and proficiency, particularly after a prolonged period of inactivity in the field. By requiring 36 hours, the Georgia Real Estate Commission aims to prepare the individual adequately for the current real estate market environment they will be reentering.

The other options do not meet the regulatory requirements established for reactivating a license that has been inactive for more than three years, which is a critical consideration in this context.
