Classroom Learning
We offer continuing education classes for members to stay current with industry trends while satisfying their licensing renewal requirements. In most instances, non-members are welcome to attend classes, provided they pay the required non-member rate. Visit www.gcar.net/events for details on any upcoming classes.
Check your CE hours with the Georgia Real Estate Commission.
Check your CE hours with the Tennessee Real Estate Commission: On July 8, 2022, TREC launched a new licensee portal and transitioned CE data from verify.tn.gov to CE Broker, a third-party continuing education tracking system. TREC is no longer updating CE data through verify.tn.gov.In order to view your TREC CE credits, you must create a free* CE Broker account:
1. Visit www.cebroker.com/tn/plans
2. Click on BASIC*
3. Enter your license number
4. Create your username and password
5. Enter your new dashboard to see your continuing education
6. Bookmark the new site on your browser and save your username and password in a safe place
*Some licensees report getting a pop-up window to enter a credit card. For a Basic (free) account, you may disregard credit cards requests, account status is "not complete," and the "activate free trial."
Unfortunately, this change prevents our Staff from viewing and assisting in checking your CE credits. However, the new platform provides a more seamless way for uploading CE credits following one of our classes. Questions? Email support@cebroker.com.
