First Renewal Cycle Licensees who were licensed as Associate Brokers for the first time on or after January 1, 2009 must complete a 30 hour post licensing course before renewing their license the first time (i.e. during the first 3 years). Note: NMREC encourages these licensees to take this course as soon after licensing as possible. This course focuses on ‘how to be an associate broker’.
