After CE: What Happens Next

Just completed your Lieb School Continuing Education course? Congrats! Here's what happens next — and what you need to do to keep your license active with the New York Department of State (DOS).

✔️ We Handle the Reporting

Once you pass your course, we automatically report your completion to the New York DOS using your license number. If you received your completion email from us, your credits have been submitted. There’s no need to contact us for confirmation.

🗓 Your Next Step: Renew Your License

After you complete your 22.5 hours of continuing education, you must log into your eAccessNY account to renew your license. Lieb School does not renew your license for you. While we report your course completions to the DOS, it’s your job to log in and complete the renewal process.

Not sure if you're done? Here's how to check:

  • Log into your Lieb School account
  • Click on Completed Classes. If all your classes are listed there and you purchased one of our 22.5 CE packages, you’re done and ready to renew.
  • If any classes are under Current Classes, you must finish those first. You are not eligible to renew until all classes are complete and total 22.5 credits.

Once your CE is complete, visit eAccessNY to renew your license. Log in, click Renew License, and certify that your CE is finished.

If you’d like, you can download your certificates from your Lieb School Completed Classes tab. You do not need to submit them to the DOS unless you are audited.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔁 What if I took CE with multiple schools?
You can take CE with multiple providers as long as your combined credits equal 22.5 hours and cover the required topic areas. Each school reports your completion to DOS separately.
📧 I didn’t get my completion email. What do I do?
First, check your spam or junk folder. If it’s not there, email us at info@liebschool.com with your full name and license number so we can help.
🧾 Do I need my certificate to renew my license?
No. You are not required to upload certificates unless the Department of State audits you. But you can download them from your Lieb School account for your records.
🕓 Can I renew my license if it’s expired?
Yes, as long as it has been expired for less than 2 years. If your license has been expired for more than 2 years, you must retake the exam and reapply. If it’s within 2 years, you still need to complete your CE requirements before renewing.
📚 What are the CE requirements for NY real estate agents?
You must complete 22.5 CE credits every two years. Required topics include:
  • Fair Housing (3 hours)
  • Ethics (2.5 hours)
  • Recent Legal Matters (1 hour)
  • Agency (1–2 hours depending on license cycle; new agents must complete 2 hours of agency disclosure)
  • Implicit Bias (2 hours)
  • Cultural Competency (2 hours)

Reminder: Real estate licenses in New York must be renewed every two years. Make sure your CE is completed well before your license expiration date to avoid last minute issues.
