Continuing Education - Georgia Real Estate

Thrive Real Estate Academy offers continuing education for Georgia real estate licensees looking for in-person continuing education. Our classes include the 25-hour post-license course and numerous 3-hour elective continuing education courses to further your career and meet Georgia Real Estate Commission guidelines for required CE.

Most continuing education is good enough to check off the box and complete the Georgia Real Estate Commission requirements but we wanted our classes to meet a higher standard and be useful in our careers.
