The website for the state Commission where you hold your license is where you should verify your credits. Please check via the links in the previous question for MD and VA. For D.C. licensees certificates will be issued due to D.C.’s education system being down.
You can check the classes you’ve completed with GCAAR by going to gcaar.com → My Account → My Education History → Classes You Have Taken.
Status for classes attended:
- V: Virtually attended
- NC: No continuing education credit provided
- NI: No ID affidavit, no credit
- NS: No-show
- R: Reciprocity (only for those seeking a D.C. license who hold another license)
- Blank: GCAAR only tracked attendance prior to July 20, 2020
If the field shows a “V”, your continuing education hours are reported within 14 business days to the MD and VA real estate commissions and D.C. licensees are issued certificates. Please again verify your credits by logging on to each state where you hold a license.
