Notice to Kansas and Missouri Dual Licensees: If you also hold a Missouri Real Estate license, be sure to request credit for that license, at the time of registration, before you start the course.

The Kansas Required Core replaces the salesperson/broker core. After the effective date, an existing salesperson/broker core completed before July 1 transfers to the Kansas Required Core. An existing broker core completed before July 1 will transfer to elective credit. Brokers who renew after July 1, 2020 will not need to complete the broker core, only the Kansas Required Core and elective hours.
