Quadrennial Ethics Requirement for all REALTORS |
Mandatory ethics training requirements for new and continuing REALTOR� members was established by the National Association's Board of Directors at the 1999 Annual Convention to heighten member awareness of the key tenets of the Code of Ethics; to create an awareness of and appreciation for the role the Code can and should play in their professional lives; to enhance professionalism and competency; and to encourage REALTORS� to view their Code of Ethics as a living, viable guide in their daily dealings with clients, customers, and the public.
This requirement mandates that each member take a minimum of 2.5 hours of code of ethics training every four years. Therefore, each member must provide proof of completion of this training between the dates of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012.
We have embedded the required training in both our new member orientation training and into several continuing education courses. It is also available online free of charge at http://www.realtor.org/mempolweb.nsf/pages/quadrennialethicstrainingcourse.
