The Requirements section in your CE Broker account is a valuable reference tool that outlines the continuing education required for your current license renewal cycle. It provides a centralized view of your licensing board's renewal requirements and allows you to stay fully informed and empowered to manage your compliance path, helping you maintain your professional license with confidence.The Requirements section clearly displays all critical renewal information, including required subject areas, hour-based requirements, completion-based requirements, and any specific restrictions on course types (e.g., live or anytime hours). This feature serves as a single, convenient reference point within your account for all your mandated CE requirements.
Accessing the Requirements Tab
- Sign in to your CE Broker account.
-
Select your credential, then either click View Details and open the Requirements tab from there, or click the small arrow next to View Details and select Requirements to go there directly.
- You will now be in the Requirement tab, where you can review which courses need to be completed for your license renewal
How to Use the Requirements Tab
The Requirements tab is a general outline of renewal requirements and does not reflect your individual, real-time completion progress. If your free Basic account shows you are not complete after reporting your courses, you can manually review your progress using your Course History.
To verify why your requirements are not marked as complete on a Basic account:
Select the Requirements tab to view your renewal checklist.
Select the Course History tab from your account menu to see all reported courses.
Compare your Course History against the requirements checklist to ensure every required subject area is posted.
Click on individual courses within your Course History to verify the specific subject area awarded.
Note: Some courses may focus on a specific topic but might only be approved by the board for another subject area, such as general hours. Clicking on the course allows you to verify if it satisfied a specific mandatory subject area.
Quick Self-Check: "Why does this say 'Not complete'?"
For a faster starting point, look for the "Why does this say 'Not complete'?" panel directly on your Requirements tab. It walks you through three quick checks:
- Confirming your hours add up
- Confirming each course is reported under the correct subject area
- Checking for a warning icon in your Course History that flags a course not yet counting toward your requirements
Each check links out to more detailed guidance if you want to dig deeper. If you'd rather review manually, the steps below walk through the same process by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions for Basic Accounts
Why am I not complete if I already reported all my hours on my Basic account?
If you have reported all of your total hours but your free Basic account still shows you are not complete, it is most likely because one or more specific board requirements have not been met. Even if you have met the total number of hours required for renewal, your state board often mandates that a set number of those hours belong to specific categories (e.g., laws and rules, ethics, or human trafficking, etc). Click on individual courses in your Course History and compare it with the Requirement tab to verify exactly which subject areas were awarded.
When will CE Broker update my status on my Basic account?
Your compliance status will update automatically as soon as all individual board requirements are satisfied. If your compliance status has not changed on your free Basic account, please double-check your Requirements tab to ensure every single mandatory subject area has a corresponding course reported in your Course History.
Do I need to submit my certificates to CE Broker if they are already in my Course History?
No. If a course is already visible in your Course History, it has been successfully reported to your account and is visible to your state board.
