FAQs

Q: What happens if I do not complete the requirement?
A: Membership with NorBAR, C.A.R., and NAR will be suspended until a Code of Ethics course is completed. NAR requires membership to all associations be suspended January – February 2025, and membership is automatically terminated on March 1, 2025.
Q: How do I figure out if a course I previously took counts towards my COE requirements?
A: Please submit the certificate you received to NorBAR Member Services at info@nba.realtor for review.*
Q: I have emeritus, honorary or exempt membership with the DRE; do I need to complete a Code of Ethics training?
A: Yes, Code of Ethics training is a NAR requirement, not a licensing (DRE) requirement.

* If you decide to take an alternative course provider, please ensure that the provider is DRE approved. (This should be stated on our completion certificate).
