First — how long has your license been inactive?

The course you need depends entirely on this. Pick the one that matches and we'll point you to the right place. Not sure of your exact status? It's on your DBPR record — or just call us.

Less than 12 months

You likely need the 14-hour class, not this one.

Within 12 months of going involuntarily inactive, the education requirement is the same 14-hour CE course — one live weekend, done. No need for the longer 28-hour course yet. (You'll also owe the state a late fee at renewal.)

12 to 24 months

This is your course — the 28-hour reactivation.

Past 12 months inactive, Florida requires this 28-hour reactivation course instead of the 14. Online, self-paced, finish in a weekend. Details and enrollment are right below.

Not sure / 24+ months

Two minutes on the phone and we'll sort it.

Past 24 months the license is null and void (you'd start over with the 63-hour course). Voluntary vs involuntary, close to a cutoff, unsure of dates — call us and we'll tell you exactly where you stand. It costs nothing.

Common Questions

What Reactivating Agents Ask Before Enrolling

Who needs the 28-hour reactivation course?
Florida real estate sales associates whose license has been involuntarily inactive for more than 12 months but less than 24 months. If your license has been inactive 24 months or more, you'll need to retake the full 63-Hour Pre-License course and the state exam — the 28-hour reactivation no longer qualifies.
How fast can I be back to active?
As fast as 2–3 days if you're motivated. The course is self-paced — finish over a weekend and pass the final. We report your completed hours to DBPR electronically (well inside the state's reporting window) and send you the certificate. From there, find a sponsoring broker, submit DBPR paperwork, and you're back to selling.
What's the difference between voluntarily and involuntarily inactive?
Voluntarily inactive: you maintain your license by completing 14-hour CE every 2 years. You can reactivate by completing CE and notifying DBPR.

Involuntarily inactive: your license lapsed because you didn't complete CE on time or your broker affiliation ended without re-association. To return to active status, you need this 28-hour course (if within 12–24 months) or to retake the entire pre-license course (if 24+ months).
Is there a final exam?
Yes — Florida requires an end-of-course exam with a passing score of 70%. It's 100 multiple-choice questions with a 3-hour limit, taken right in our online portal — no proctor appointment, no webcam. Don't pass? Re-enroll free with us — no second payment.
How do my hours get to DBPR?
We report your completed hours to DBPR electronically, promptly after you finish and well inside the state's reporting window — so your reactivation credit posts to your license record. You'll get your certificate for your own records too.
Do I need a sponsoring broker to reactivate?
Yes. Even after completing this course, your license stays inactive until you submit DBPR reactivation paperwork that includes a sponsoring broker. We can introduce you to South Florida partner brokers actively hiring — book a free 15-min call if you need help finding one.
What's your refund policy?
Full refund within 7 days if you haven't completed more than 30% of the course. Beyond that window, we don't refund — but your enrollment doesn't expire. Come back when you're ready.
