Do You Need CE Broker for Florida Real Estate Continuing Education?

    Short answer: no. Florida real estate CE is reported by your DBPR-approved education provider directly to DBPR — not through CE Broker. Here's what actually happens to your credit, and how to verify it on your license record.

    Last reviewed: July 14, 2026. This is regulatory information, not legal advice. Always verify current requirements with the Florida DBPR.

    The short version
    • Florida real estate CE is not tracked through CE Broker.
    • DBPR-approved real estate education providers report completions electronically to DBPR through the DBPR Education Provider Reporting Portal.
    • RealEd.PRO is a DBPR-approved provider (Provider #0010555) delivering the 14-hour CE course (Course #0032117) and reports completions directly to DBPR.
    • You verify credits on your DBPR license record at myfloridalicense.com, not on a third-party tracker.

    What is CE Broker?

    CE Broker is a third-party continuing-education tracking service used by some Florida professional boards — most notably several Florida health-care professions — to record CE completions and audit status.

    CE Broker is not the reporting or tracking system used by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) or the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) for Florida real estate licensees. If you hold only a Florida real estate license, you do not need a CE Broker account to complete, receive credit for, or renew with your continuing education.

    How Florida real estate CE is actually reported

    1. You complete a FREC-approved Florida real estate CE course with a DBPR-approved education provider (for example, RealEd.PRO's 14-hour CE course).
    2. The provider verifies that you met the course's seat-time and assessment requirements.
    3. The provider electronically submits your completion record to DBPR through the DBPR Education Provider Reporting Portal, referencing the approved Provider ID and Course ID.
    4. DBPR posts the credit to your license record. You can view it on the DBPR license lookup.
    5. When you renew, DBPR uses that record — not a third-party tracker — to determine whether your CE obligation has been satisfied.

    There is no CE Broker step anywhere in this workflow for Florida real estate licensees.

    What RealEd.PRO reports to DBPR

    RealEd.PRO is an approved Florida real estate CE provider. Once you successfully complete our 14-hour CE course, we submit your completion to DBPR using the approved identifiers on our provider record:

    Provider Number
    #0010555
    DBPR-approved Florida real estate CE provider.
    Course Number
    #0032117
    14-hour Florida real estate continuing education course.

    DBPR approval authorizes RealEd.PRO to deliver the course and to report completions electronically. It is not an endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with DBPR or the State of Florida.

    How to verify your Florida real estate CE credits

    1. Go to the Florida DBPR online services site.
    2. Use the license lookup and search by your name or license number.
    3. Review your CE / renewal information on your DBPR record. This record is the authoritative source of your Florida real estate CE compliance status.
    4. If a completion you finished with RealEd.PRO does not appear on your DBPR record within a reasonable processing window, contact us so we can confirm the submission status.

    Do not rely on a CE Broker dashboard, a personal spreadsheet, or a brokerage-maintained log as your compliance evidence for Florida real estate CE. Only the DBPR license record is authoritative.

    CE Broker & Florida real estate FAQs

    Do I need CE Broker for Florida real estate continuing education?

    No. CE Broker is not part of the reporting workflow for Florida real estate continuing education. Florida DBPR-approved real estate education providers — including RealEd.PRO (Provider #0010555) — report successful course completions electronically to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) through the DBPR Education Provider Reporting Portal. You do not need a CE Broker account to complete or receive credit for a Florida real estate CE course, and CE Broker is not the tracker DBPR uses for the real estate profession.

    What is CE Broker?

    CE Broker is a third-party continuing-education tracking service used by some Florida professional boards (for example, several health-care professions) to record CE completions. It is not the reporting or tracking system used by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) or DBPR for Florida real estate licensees. Florida real estate CE reporting flows directly from the DBPR-approved education provider to DBPR.

    How does Florida real estate CE actually get reported to DBPR?

    When you finish an approved Florida real estate CE course with RealEd.PRO, we — as a DBPR-approved education provider — electronically submit your completion record to DBPR through the DBPR Education Provider Reporting Portal, using RealEd.PRO's approved Provider #0010555 and Course #0032117 (14-hour CE). DBPR then posts the credit to your license record. You are not required to log the credit yourself with any third party.

    Does RealEd.PRO submit my completion to CE Broker?

    No, and there is no need to. Florida real estate CE credit is posted to your DBPR license record once RealEd.PRO reports your completion to DBPR. Adding a CE Broker step would not accelerate or replace DBPR reporting, because CE Broker is not the tracker DBPR uses for the real estate profession.

    How long does it take for my Florida real estate CE credit to show up?

    RealEd.PRO submits qualifying completions electronically. Once DBPR receives and processes the submission, the credit appears on your license record in the DBPR system. Processing times can vary; if you need to verify posting, use the DBPR license lookup at myfloridalicense.com. If you completed a course and the credit does not appear within a reasonable window, contact us so we can confirm the submission status.

    How do I verify my Florida real estate CE credits are on file?

    Use the Florida DBPR license lookup at myfloridalicense.com to view your license record. CE credit reported by your approved provider is posted to your DBPR record; that record — not a third-party tracker — is the authoritative source for Florida real estate CE compliance.

    I have a CE Broker account from another Florida profession. Does that cover my real estate CE?

    No. A CE Broker account created for a different Florida license type (for example, a health-care profession) does not track or satisfy Florida real estate CE. Florida real estate CE is separately governed by FREC / DBPR and is reported by DBPR-approved real estate education providers directly to DBPR.

    Is RealEd.PRO endorsed by DBPR or the Department because it reports directly?

    No. RealEd.PRO is a private, FREC-approved continuing-education provider (Provider #0010555). Approval by DBPR is what allows RealEd.PRO to deliver the 14-hour CE course (Course #0032117) and to report course completions electronically to DBPR. Approval is not an endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation.
