Code of Ethics (CoE) vs. Continuing Education (CE)
The Code of Ethics is a course each NAR-ARA-GCBOR member takes upon joining the association and every three years in a cycle, for the duration of your membership. The Code of Ethics is what distinguishes a REALTOR® from a real estate agent. In order to reaffirm your commitment to being a REALTOR® you must retake the course every three years. It is online at nar.realtor for FREE.
The current cycle is Cycle 8 and runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027.
Your Code of Ethics is not necessarily a continuing education class. It can be, but it is not CE unless clearly stated by the instructor.
Each time you take a Code of Ethics course, either online or through a licensed instructor, it is the agent's responsibility to send a copy to their local board for compliance and entry into the M1 system.
Code of Ethics does not go to the Arkansas Real Estate Commission; it goes to your local board for entry into the M1 database.
CE is what is required by the Arkansas Real Estate Commission for you to maintain a license to practice real estate in Arkansas.
