REALTORS® who have completed this training as a requirement of membership in another association are not required to complete additional ethics training until the next two-year cycle.

Code of Ethics dates are the same for all REALTORS® irrespective of when they join. The frequency of cycles changed from every four years to every two years in January 2017.

COE will be checked to ensure everyone has completed the necessary training. It is automatically uploaded to NRDS. Failure to meet the requirement for any two-year cycle will result in suspension of membership for the first two months (January and February) of the year following the end of any two-year cycle or until the requirement is met, whichever occurs sooner. On March 1 of that year, the membership will be automatically terminated for any member who is still suspended as of March 1.
