What type of education is generally exempt for real estate licensees after a certain age?

Continuing education requirements for real estate licensees are typically designed to ensure that professionals stay informed about changes in laws, regulations, and practices within the industry. In many jurisdictions, including Arkansas, real estate licensees who are over a certain age, such as 65, may be exempt from certain continuing education requirements. This exemption recognizes the extensive experience and existing knowledge that seasoned professionals bring to their practice.

By allowing exemptions for those over 65, the regulatory body aims to balance the need for ongoing education with the acknowledgment of significant lifelong learning and experience. This exemption does not apply to other categories or to the same extent, as younger or less experienced agents are still expected to complete their educational requirements to maintain their licenses.
