By the numbers
Real students. Back on active status.
-
My license went involuntary inactive while I was raising my kids. The 28 hours were the whole path back, laid out plainly.
-
I was afraid I'd have to start over at pre-licensing. Reactivation was the actual requirement and I was done in three weeks.
-
Four years out of the business and the law had moved. The course caught me up instead of just checking a box.
-
The DBPR paperwork made no sense to me. The course spelled out exactly what to file and when.
-
I did the whole thing nights and weekends while still working my other job. Back on active status without taking time off.
-
Getting my license back was easier than the two years I'd spent assuming it wouldn't be.
How to reactivate your Florida sales associate license
-
Step 1
Check your license status with the DBPR
Log in to your DBPR account at www.myfloridalicense.com to confirm your license status and exactly how long it has been involuntarily inactive. That date determines which education you need to reactivate.
-
Step 2
Confirm the education you need
- Inactive 12 months or less: complete the standard 14-hour continuing education course and renew.
- Inactive more than 12 months (but less than 2 years): complete the 28-hour FREC-approved reactivation course — that's this course.
-
Step 3
Complete the 28-hour reactivation course and pass the end-of-course exam
The course is 100% online and self-paced, so you can work through the material on your own schedule. Because it's delivered by distance education, FREC requires an end-of-course exam — you'll need a score of 80% or higher to pass. When you pass, your completion is reported electronically to the DBPR.
Don't wait! If your license stays involuntarily inactive for more than two years, it becomes null and void — and you'd have to start over with the 63-hour pre-licensing course and state exam.
-
Step 4
Renew your license with the DBPR
Once your education is complete, renew your license through your DBPR account and pay the renewal fees to return it to active status. Remember: to practice, your sales associate license must be activated under a licensed Florida broker.

What does it mean that my Florida license is involuntarily inactive?
If you don't complete your continuing education and renew by your license expiration date, your Florida sales associate license becomes involuntarily inactive. While it's inactive, you can't legally perform any real estate services that require a license.
Who needs the 28-hour reactivation course?
Florida sales associates whose license has been involuntarily inactive for more than 12 months but less than 2 years. In that window, FREC requires a 28-hour reactivation education course — instead of the standard 14 hours of CE — before the license can be reactivated.
My license has been inactive less than 12 months — do I need this course?
No. If your license has been involuntarily inactive for 12 months or less, you can reactivate by completing the standard 14-hour continuing education course and renewing with the DBPR.
What happens if my license stays inactive for more than 2 years?
A Florida license that remains involuntarily inactive for more than two years becomes null and void. At that point, reactivation is no longer possible — you'd need to start over with the 63-hour pre-licensing course and pass the state exam again. If you're approaching the two-year mark, don't wait.
Can I complete the reactivation course online?
Yes! Premier Courses' 28-hour reactivation course is delivered fully online and is self-paced, so you can complete your hours on your own schedule, from any device.
Does the reactivation course include an exam?
Yes — because the course is delivered by distance education, the Florida Real Estate Commission requires an end-of-course exam. You must score 80% or higher to pass.
If you don't reach 80%, FREC rules require you to re-enroll in the course before taking the exam again — so give the material a careful read the first time through.
How do I reactivate my license once I finish the course?
When you complete the course and pass the exam, your completion is reported electronically to the DBPR. You then renew your license and pay the renewal fees through your DBPR account at www.myfloridalicense.com to return it to active status.
Is Premier Courses approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission?
Yes, Premier Courses' 28-hour online reactivation course is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (School ID #ZH1003192), and your completion is reported electronically to the DBPR.

Premier Courses is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to provide the 28-hour reactivation education course required to reactivate a Florida sales associate license that has been involuntarily inactive for more than 12 months but less than 2 years. Premier Courses' school ID is ZH1003192.
Complete the course and pass the end-of-course exam, then renew with the DBPR before your license has been inactive for two years.
Final Exam Information
Because the course is delivered by distance education, the Florida Real Estate Commission requires an end-of-course exam. You must score 80% or higher to pass.
If you don't reach 80%, FREC rules require you to re-enroll in the course before taking the exam again — so give the material a careful read the first time through.
Completion Requirement Policy
The course must be completed within six months of registration. If you are unable to complete the course within the six month period, Premier Courses offers extensions for an additional fee.
Keep in mind that regardless of your course access period, your reactivation education must be completed — and your license renewed — before your license has been involuntarily inactive for two years, after which it becomes null and void.
Online Course Identification Requirements
Before taking your end-of-course final exam, you'll be asked to verify your identity with a current government-issued photo identification, such as:
- A current Florida driver's license.
- A current identification card issued by a state or U.S. government agency.
- A current passport.
The name on your identification must match the name on your course registration.
Reporting Your Course Completion
When you complete the course and pass the final exam, you'll receive a certificate of completion and your course completion is reported electronically to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
You can verify your education record at any time through your DBPR online account at www.myfloridalicense.com.
