You can begin our narrated course from phone, tablet or computer. No special apps are needed and your 24/7 access is instantaneous. Simply, click the ‘My Courses’ tab and the button labeled ‘Open.’  Launch your first chapter and begin learning. Our instructor will walk you through each topic, drawing from readily-applied; real-world examples from his over 35+ years of practicing in real estate. The course is self-paced, allowing to print notes, review previous chapters, and re-take quizzes as often as you like throughout the 6 mo. access period. And when life calls you away to take a phone call, pick up the kids, or go on vacation, you have the luxury to stop-and-go whenever please.  Simply click ‘exit’ and the program saves your place. If required by your State, the course includes any required course surveys / tests. As a general rule, REMI’s process and tests (when required) are entirely online. There is no charge and you will not have to start the course over if at any time you fail. There is no attempt limit. Some States may have exceptions to the above. Check if your State is one of the exceptions ahead of purchase.

The process of issuing course credit / certificates differs from State-to-State.  REMI will send you an email to let you know we have processed your completion usually within 1-3 business days (allow 8 to be safe). It will include the additional steps (if any) that are required.

If you have any questions about our process, feel free to call us: (808) 230-8200

Our courses are phone / tablet compatible. 

If you do not see the presentation, please check that pop-ups are enabled on your device.  For example, if you using Safari, you can go to the gray Settings icon, then scroll to Safari, and then scroll down to Block Pop-ups to be sure that the setting is gray / inactive.  If your setting is green, it means pop-ups are blocked and the presentation cannot launch in a new window.

Each 20-hr CE Renewal package is equally designed to meet the 20-hr renewal requirement. Each includes the mandatory Core A and B courses (until 5/31/21) and 14 hrs of electives. 

About Core courses: The State expires the Core A and B courses at the end of May in odd-numbered years.  Once the State expires the Core courses, licensees will take electives in their place until the next Core courses come out in the even-numbered year. Every biennium, Core A and B are always based on legislation sessions / law updates. The new Core are only released by the State once its respective legislation sessions take place. 

It is the solely the licensees' responsibility to confirm with the licensing branch (DCCA) ahead of purchase to ensure courses purchased at REMI will meet your CE requirements.

Information last updated 9/11/19.  Verify information / check for updates ahead of purchase.

Once you complete a course, allow 1-3 business days for processing (allow 8 to be safe).  Once processed, the course should appear in your PVL account on ehawaii.gov.   As we process each course, we send a confirmation email to you.

You can do this by contacting the DCCA (808-586-3000) or by logging into your PVL account: https://pvl.ehawaii.gov/rece/app/welcome.html

Once you open the course folder and there are 3 green checkmarks, this means the course is complete and has been put in queue for processing so that we can get it submitted to the Hawaii Real Estate Commission / DCCA on your behalf.  The 3 checkmarks correspond to the completion of the presentation, survey, and indicating the biennium where you would like the course credit applied.

Please review the real estate salesperson’s Flowchart and General Information Sheet for general steps on becoming a Hawaii licensed real estate salesperson on active status.

Individuals with a current and unencumbered real estate salesperson’s license in another state may become a Hawaii real estate broker with the approval of the proper applications (see the real estate broker Flowchart for additional information)."
