License Renewal
I have already purchased a C.A.R. online license renewal class, where can I log on to the website to take my class?
I need to renew my license and I want to know what courses I need and what program is offered through you.
In order to determine what credits you need for renewal of your real estate license, please visit the Department of Real Estate Web site at www.dre.ca.gov . The courses required are found by clicking on “Renewing Your License” under the “Licensees” tab. We offer the required courses in three different prepackaged formats: 3-ring binder, downloadable PDF files, or online. To purchase one of the first two items, please visit http://store.car.org and select License Renewal – Home Study. To purchase an online course, please visit www.rebsonline.com and select Online Education.
I’m over 70, do I have to take courses to renew my license?
The California Department of Real Estate does not require continuing education for persons over 70 years of age who have been licensed in good standing for at least 30 years. This is called the 70/30 Exemption, and you need to apply for it in order to be exempt from continuing education requirements. To learn more about this exemption and to download the necessary forms, please visit www.dre.ca.gov and type 70/30 exemption into the search field.
I’m on the C.A.R. Web site and I’m trying to renew my license online. I’ve taken the courses and I want to submit the course numbers.
You must renew your license with the California Department of Real Estate, and can do so online through their eLicensing system. Please visit www.dre.ca.gov and click on “eLicensing.”
Which courses do I need to renew my license? I went to www.rebsonline.com and I couldn’t figure it out.
In order to determine what credits you need for renewal of your real estate license, please visit the Department of Real Estate Web site at www.dre.ca.gov. The courses required are found by clicking on “Renewing Your License” under the “Licensees” tab. The online courses we offer are pre-packaged with all the required courses as follows: Ed-Pak 45 is for first-time salesperson and Broker renewals; Ed-Pak 45-9 is for subsequent salesperson and broker renewals.
On Risk Management class, do I have to have a DRE license or can I go just for the information?
You do not need to have a real estate license or be a C.A.R. member in order to attend any of our courses or seminars. However, if you are not a member of C.A.R. you will have to pay the non-member price.
I’m interested in obtaining my real estate license. Where should I go?
Real Estate licenses are issued by the California Department of Real Estate. Please visit their Web site at www.dre.ca.gov to learn more about the licensing process and requirements.
I purchased the program to renew my license and someone is supposed to send me an email and I never got it.
If you have not seen a confirmation email from C.A.R. or REBSOnline (www.rebsonline.com), it may have gone into your “junk” or “spam” folder.
What is an Ed-Pak?
An educational package (Ed-Pak) is a collection of our best courses that you can purchase at a discounted price compared to buying the courses individually.
I have a question about the Ed-Pak 15. I finished the first chapter and it says to take a test. The fast track schedule says to do a different chapter first and take the final exam on that. I don’t know what to do next.
If you are not trying to complete your license renewal courses as quickly as possible, you can study the different sections of the Ed-Pak and take the exams in any order you like. The Fast Track suggests the fastest way to complete the package within the time constraints of the Department of Real Estate regulations.

I purchased the License Renewal binder. How do I take my exams?
Your exam keys are listed on the first page of your binder. Log onto http://www.car4exam.com/exams.html and enter the key for the exam that you want to take. Do this for each exam.
What happens if I fail a quiz or final exam? (For TABS notebooks only)
If you do not pass the first exam you are entitled to one free re-take key which is the same as the original number with a 2 added to the end. Any additional keys must be purchased.
What happens if I fail a quiz or final exam? (For OnlineEd only)
If you do not receive a passing grade on a test, you must try again until you receive the passing score or higher. You will need to review the chapter text and then take the test again. The course completion certificate will not be issued until you have completed all of the tests. Before taking each quiz and final, the OnlineEd site will inform you what the minimum passing score for your test will be.
How long do I have to wait before taking a final exam?
The California Department of Real Estate regulations require that you wait 24 hours from enrollment before taking a final exam, and you may only complete 15 credit hours within any given 24 hour period.
How do I get my certificate?
You can print out your certificate as soon as the course has been completed (online only).
I waited until the last minute to renew my license. Can I finish in time?
The amount of time it takes to complete a course depends on the effort you put into it. Some courses are only a few credit hours long, which can be done in a day. You may only complete 15 credit hours of testing within any given 24 hour period (by California state law).

I understand that NAR requires you to take an Ethics class and that it can only be done online. Is that true?
