Complete Texas SAE Coursework Online
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) first renewal requires a total of 270 qualifying real estate course hours. If you obtained your license by submitting 180 hours of qualifying courses, you will need an additional 90 hours of elective SAE courses, plus 4 hours each of Legal Update I and Legal Update II courses. Sales agents who have been made a supervisor by their broker must also take the 6-hour Broker Responsibility course to renew.
Our TREC-approved SAE courses are entirely conducted online – no need to commute to school. You can work through your courses at your own pace, on your own schedule.
Pass Your Proctored Final Exams (From Home!)
SAE courses must have a proctored final exam. TREC wants these tests to be administered by a third party to ensure there's no cheating. Usually, this involves an in-person test with an eligible proctor. You can take your exams that way if you prefer.
But for an additional fee, we offer a 100% online and on-demand TREC-approved recorded proctoring solution That allows you to take your SAE finals whenever you want, as long as you have a camera, microphone, and internet connection.

FAQs
How do I know you're a TREC-approved course provider?
360training's approved TREC Provider Number is 4591.
Is Continuing Education the Same as SAE?
No. License renewals happen every 2 years in Texas. Every renewal requires 8 hours of TREC Legal Update education.
The first renewal requires a total of 270 qualifying real estate course hours. If you obtained your license by submitting 180 hours of qualifying courses, you will need an additional 90 hours of elective SAE courses, plus 4 hours each of Legal Update I and Legal Update II courses. Sales agents who have been made a supervisor by their broker must also take the 6-hour Broker Responsibility course to renew.
This package is intended for your first renewal. If this is NOT your first salesperson renewal, you need to take Continuing Education package instead.
How fast can I get through the courses?
You need to spend at least as much time in each course as the credit hours it's worth, but you can’t earn more than 12 hours' credit per day.
TREC reinforces this rule based on how many days you spend in each course and whether there is overlap between courses. Each 30-hour qualifying course has to have at least 3 days between starting and completion. You also can't start and finish more than one qualifying course within the same 3 days.
TREC will not accept your certificate of completion for any one course unless 3 days have elapsed since the date/time you started it.
