The Iowa Real Estate Commission allows a maximum of 24 hours of online distance continuing education to be completed each renewal period. This requirement was temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 in 2020 through 2022.
For all licenses set to expire in 2023 or later, the requirement that only 24 hours can be taken via distance education is unfortunately back in force.
