48-Hour Online Kentucky Broker Management Skills Course
At the July 23rd, 2009 meeting of the Kentucky Real Estate Commission, we received a vote approving our request to offer the required 48 hour broker management skills course online. Because we need to develop the course from the ground up for online delivery and still navigate two different approval processes, look for the course to become available late 2009 or early 2010.

Other 48 hour broker courses may become available during 2010. Please check back for details.
