This role is responsible for actively identifying, organizing, and communicating available educational opportunities to agents, including in-person classes, live virtual sessions, and on-demand online courses.
The committee ensures that members are consistently “in the loop” by sharing upcoming course schedules, registration details, deadlines, and any changes to state or National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) requirements. This includes promoting local board offerings, approved third-party education providers, and relevant industry training that enhances professional growth and compliance.
SOUTH CAROLINA CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
