NAR has made several changes in the Code of Ethics requirement effective January 1, 2022. If your brokerage has a school, and you would like its Ethics class to be considered for approval, please fill out and return the linked application along with a copy of the class slides and materials.
Beginning January 1, 2022 – the start of the 7th cycle:
- Courses must include content on professional conduct, courtesies, business etiquette, and real-life scenarios.
- Only those courses and equivalencies provided by a local, state, or national REALTOR® association can satisfy the Code of Ethics training requirement. The Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) endorsement satisfies the requirement. Local associations may, however, partner with a third-party training provider to create a course that satisfies the requirement.

- FAAR Academy (classroom and Zoom options)
