NOTE: For Real Estate professions, please click here.

A new law passed in 2019 requires individuals with licenses issued by DPR that require CE to renew their

license also complete 1 hour of CE on the topic of sexual harassment prevention training. This requirement is in effect

for all renewals after January 1, 2020. This new CE requirement can be included in the number of hours already

required under the individual Acts and Rules and does not increase the number of hours required to renew a license.

licensing Act or Rules administered by DFPR.

The list below is provided as examples of entities that are authorized to provide CE under one

or more Act or Rules administered by DFPR. You must receive a CE Certificate that states the

number of hours completed to comply with the requirement. Note that for all other CE

This is my first time renewing my Illinois license – do I need to complete the 1 hour of sexual harassment

prevention training CE prior to license renewal?

For most professions, individuals are not required to complete CE before their first renewal. If this is the first time you

are renewing a license, you do not have to complete sexual harassment prevention training CE.

Like all other CE you must receive a Certificate of Completion and retain it for your records. The Certificate must

include information such as the number of hours completed, the name of the sponsor or provider, and the date the CE

was completed. You will not need to provide a Certificate if you renew on time, but you may be asked to confirm that

you have completed the training. You may need to provide a Certificate if you renew late, need to restore or reinstate

an expired license, or if you are included in a CE audit.

I received sexual harassment awareness training from my employer. Does that count?

It will depend if your employer is an accepted or approved CE provider, and if you received a CE Certificate for the

training. Please check with your employer to see if they qualify.
