Code of Ethics Online Training Course Information

Before December 31, 2008, every REALTOR® was required to complete 2.5 hours of Code of Ethics training. Miss the deadline? The training is still offered in a variety of ways – through local associations and other local resources, and online. We will continue to do everything we can to support members' fulfillment of the quadrennial Code of Ethics training requirement.

REALTOR.org registration, which is required to complete the online training course, is experiencing longer wait times due to heavy traffic volume. If you plan to take the course online and are not registered on REALTOR.org, you should register for the site ahead of time if possible.

NAR provides the following resources on REALTOR.org to prepare you for and help you complete your training. For information about training programs in your area, contact your local board.
