California has amended its continuing education requirements for real estate brokers (broker) licensed by the California Bureau of Real Estate. The amendment requires a broker, as part of the broker’s 45 hours of continuing education, to successfully complete a three-hour course in the management of real estate offices and supervision of real estate licensed activities. Note that real estate law requires real estate salespersons to be supervised by a responsible broker, and allows an employing broker or corporate designated broker officer to appoint a licensed broker as a manager of a branch office or division of a real estate business.

The provisions are effective on January 1, 2016.
