Louisiana continuing education
Louisiana requires 12 hours of approved continuing education every year by December 31, including the annual mandatory course. At EXCEL that is $39 in either format: a scheduled live Zoom class with an instructor, or a self-paced on-demand course. LREC provider approval LCE 0242.
Instructor-led CE
These courses run on a scheduled date over Zoom. You join the session, learn alongside other Louisiana licensees, and ask the instructor questions as they come up. Live Zoom CE is split by role, so start with the one that matches your license.
The live Zoom mandatory course for active Louisiana salespersons and associate brokers completing their continuing education requirement for renewal.
The live Zoom mandatory course for Louisiana brokers, kept separate from the agent class so the content matches broker-level responsibility.
Self-paced CE
No Zoom link, no class date, no instructor session to attend. You enroll, the course opens immediately, and you work through it whenever you have time - at night, between showings, or in one sitting.
The 2026 mandatory continuing education topic, delivered fully self-paced. Open to Louisiana agents and brokers who would rather not sit in a scheduled class.
Practical CE for licensed Louisiana real estate professionals
Live vs on-demand
The requirement you satisfy is the same either way. The difference is how you spend the hours. Choose live Zoom if you learn better with an instructor in the room and want to ask questions out loud. Choose on-demand if a fixed class date is the thing most likely to stop you from finishing.
Set class date, instructor present, questions answered live. Split into Agent CE and Broker CE.
No class date, no instructor session. Start immediately and finish at your own pace.
Both formats are presented under Louisiana provider approval LCE 0242 with the same completion and certificate steps.

FAQ
If you are already licensed, this page should help you get to the correct CE option without extra back-and-forth. Requirements and pricing checked on 19 September 2026.
Live Zoom CE is a scheduled class with an instructor present, so you attend on a set date and can ask questions in real time. On-demand CE has no class date and no instructor session - you enroll, the course opens, and you work through it whenever you want.
If you want the live class, choose Agent CE if you are renewing as a Louisiana agent or Broker CE if you are renewing as a Louisiana broker. If you want self-paced, take the on-demand mandatory course, Transparency, Technology and Trust.
Both are presented under EXCEL's Louisiana CE provider approval, LCE 0242, and both cover the required mandatory topic. Pick based on how you want to spend the hours, not on which one counts.

Yes. Three of our NAR courses carry Louisiana CE hours: the ABR carries 12, and the PSA and MRP each carry 6. You cover elective hours you had to buy anyway and earn a national credential at the same time.
