For the Internet-savvy, such courses are convenient, inexpensive and comparatively quick because they do not involve travel time. Real estate licensure in Iowa, for example, requires agents to take 36 hours of continuing education every three years, including 12 hours of mandatory ethics and law training. They can take 24 hours of continuing education online.The Iowa Association of Realtors offers more than 24 hours of electives online through an affiliation with RE Campus, an online learning company, and is creating more on its own. Judy Steven is coordinator of the Skogman Real Estate School at Skogman Realty and is an accredited instructor for the Iowa Association of Realtors. Continuing education online has a place, she said, but she’s not a big fan. “They do them online for time constraints — so they can take them at midnight,” Stevens said of her fellow real estate agents. Stevens teaches the pre-license classes that aspiring real estate agents need to take for licensure.
