This article covers the California Department of Real Estate (DRE’s) timeline for the availability of upcoming Implicit Bias courses and restructured Fair Housing courses that include Access for All: A Fair Housing Game ™.
New continuing education (CE) requirements for real estate licensees
Real estate agents and brokers who expire after 2022 will soon find themselves learning some new and innovative course content. Read also : Nevada Global Business offers students a valuable career opportunity.
Passed at the end of 2021, Senate Bill (SB) 263 requires two hours of implicit bias training to be entered into continuing education (CE). Furthermore, the mandated three -hour Fair Housing (or Survey) renewal course has been restructured, including an interactive participatory component.
The new course requirements will apply to real estate agents and brokers with their licenses expiring on or after January 1, 2023.
Late renewals- those with a license with an expiration date before January 1, 2023, but whose renewals are after the implementation date- must also take the Implicit Bias and Fair Housing restructuring course that includes an interactive participatory component.
Free for firsttuesday students
firsttuesday is one of the first schools to submit a new education to the California Department of Housing (DRE) in April 2022. See the article : Millions of students experience food security. But campus food pantries can make a difference..
The new education has been “approved” by the DRE until July 2022, although schools cannot officially enroll students until the fall of 2022.
When DRE asks the first Tuesday we can free new courses to be completed, the new education will be posted to the account of the first Tuesday students who need education before October 2022.
Editor’s note – DRE will not accept renewal applications from students who graduate in 2023 until October 2022.
Insurance – all this at no extra cost for the first student. Students who have a license expiration date after 2022 will be advised by email when we authorize to post a new education to their account.
For licenses to expire before 2023, you do not need to take this additional education until your next renewal.
When your license expires after 2022 and you’re currently enrolling in a renewal package, you can complete most of the current registrations. However, the Fair Housing course has now been made available until we are authorized to convert to the newly restructured version of the course in the early fall.
If you are not a first Tuesday student and need an updated CE, you can register this new application with the rest of the CE you need, or alone after we receive final approval by DRE in early fall 2022. New Implicit Bias and Fair Housing courses the upgrade is priced as a $ 17.50 combo.

Implicit Bias course content – a look into the future
Implicit bias training is now happening across industries – in healthcare, police, and now housing, thanks to SB 263 2021. Read also : The real estate sector fell 21% in the first half of the 22nd, focusing on mortgage rates.
The first two hours of Implicit Bias training will prepare housing professionals to identify and combat elements of systemic racism – consciously and unconsciously – in housing transactions.
Specifically, the course will cover:
Access for All: A Fair Housing Game™
Firsttuesday’s Access for All: A Fair Housing Game ™ held in conjunction with a three -hour Fair Housing course that was restructured.
Access for All ™ presents a variety of interactive scenarios. In some, students will take on the role of a real estate licensee. In others, students will take on the role of principal. Based on the decisions made by the students, the scenario changes – bad choices produce negative results, and healthy choices produce positive results.
Access to All ™ mixes video, animation, text, and sound in an engaging educational experience that puts students directly into the shoes of transaction participants and is hosted by frequent collaborator, Summer Goralik. Summer worked as a Special Investigator for DRE for six years and worked closely with former Real Estate Commissioner Wayne Bell.
