A Message From The President

Watch as CCAR President Greg Souza reminds you that NAR requires all REALTORS® to complete 2.5 hours of ethics training every three years (current cycle: 2019-2021). Failure to complete the required training may result in suspension of all Board/Association privileges.

Even if you had your Continuing Education requirement waived by the California DRE due to the 70/30 Exemption, you must still complete the NAR ethics training requirement unless you have earned NAR Emeritus status.
