Were you licensed on or after December 1, 2017? STOP! While you can enroll in the Advertising & Property Management course, you are not required to do so. You actually need to complete the Mandatory New Licensee General Module and the New Licensee Residential Module, which are required for license renewal. If you were licensed before December 1, 2017, please proceed to enrolling in Advertising & Property Management. If you were licensed after December 1, 2019, you do not have a continuing education requirement for this renewal cycle. You just need to renew your license at www.pals.pa.gov and complete the two new licensee modules (linked above) by May 31, 2022.
