IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COURSES
ICE Courses are highly sought after by licensees because we allow for a variety of learning styles. When you navigate through a course, there is a timer in the upper right-hand corner that suggests how long you should spend on that lesson. We highly recommend that you allow the timer to run down to 0:00 in order to maximize your time. If you choose to disregard the timer and complete the lessons in less than the suggested time, when you are done with all of the lessons, you must stay active in a Review Session of questions (maintaining a minimum of 70% correct) until you satisfy the time requirement as approved by the Ohio Division of Real Estate and Professional Licensing.

For a 3-hour course, you must remain active for 150 minutes; for a 6-hour course, 300 minutes. Again, we recommend that you let the timer run down to 0:00 in each lesson and then proceed to the quiz questions.

Please read ALL of the below information about exactly how ICE courses will meet your CE needs!

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is ICE?

ICE is a school specializing in Continuing Education for professional license renewal. We are licensed in many states, and ICE is now approved by the Ohio Dept of Commerce for Internet delivered continuing education. ICE specializes in distance learning education using the Internet for delivery.

How long are my courses available to me?

Your course(s) are available to you for six months from the date of your order. Presuming that a specific course is unfinished, once the expiration date is reached, that course is unavailable and must be repurchased.

I can't get to the Internet. Can I use ICE's courses to renew my real estate license?

No. ICE is only approved to provide Internet based courses in Ohio.

How do ICE courses work?

Each ICE on-line course contains lessons. At the end of every lesson is a short quiz. You must answer every quiz question correctly to proceed into the next lesson. You can retake the quiz as many times as required in order to answer every question correctly. You will be informed if any question's answer is wrong.

Let the time run down to 0:00 for each lesson!

Do I have to download workbooks?

No. ICE provides the Internet training in workbook form only if you wish to review the course material when the Internet is not convenient or available. The workbook is identical to the on-line course lessons, and some people consider it easier to read than a computer's monitor. Workbooks, however, do NOT contain the on-line quizes.

When will my Ohio real estate license expire?

Starting in 2007, each Ohio real estate license expires once every 3 years on the licensee's birthday in the expiration year.

When I go to a class, I stay all day. Do I need to be on the Internet for 6 consecutive hours?

No. As you read through a course's lessons, your progress is automatically "bookmarked." If you read a few lessons, and you are interrupted, the ICE course will start where you previously ended when you return to that course. You can start-and-stop any course (connect to the Internet) as many times as you want. Many people can complete a 6 hour ICE course in less than 6 hours; some people take longer. With ICE, you learn at your own pace.

Can I read more than 1 course simultaneously?

Yes. Each course will have its own bookmark, so you can start any course at any time without having to finish another course. Please note: ICE's learning system will not allow you to open more than once course at the same time.

Do I have to always use the same computer?

No. You can connect to the Internet using any device, log in using your ICE student number and password, and use your courses for as long as you want. Most people study at work during the day, and/or at home in the evening and on weekends.

What happens when I finish a course's on-line lessons?

After you complete the last lesson and satisfy the time requirement for each ICE course, you will immediately receive your on-line ICE Completion Certificate. YOU WILL BE FINISHED!

How do I receive my ICE Completion Certificates?

Each course's Completion Certificate is delivered to you online immediately after you complete the course's last lesson. If you are unable to print this Certificate, call ICE and we will be happy to mail it to you.

How does the State of Ohio get informed of my course completions?

It is ICE's responsibility to inform your state's regulators each time you complete a course, and it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to send to your STATE REGULATORS the Certificates of Completion and your renewal paperwork. ONLY YOU, THE LICENSEE, CAN FULFILL THIS REQUIREMENT!!!

When you are finished with all CE requirements from every provider, you can either renew your license online (see below), or you can get your paperwork (Renewal Application with Education Compliance Form) online anytime from the Ohio website (see below) to renew your license. Do not submit the package sooner than 60 days prior to your current license expiration date.

It is very important that your license number is correct, and in the same format as in your state's computer system (14 characters beginning with BRK. or SAL.). Otherwise, your credits will be rejected.

What courses should I take?

All ICE Ohio CORE (required subjects) courses offer 3 credit hours each. If you have no CE credits, take all CORE courses to satisfy the required course obligation. This leaves 21 elective hours for completing your required CE. Select three 6 credit hour courses and one 3 credit hour course from the elective subjects to satisfy this requirement. Again, take all 3 CORE subject and 4 elective subjects if you need all 30 credit hours.

How do I order ICE courses?

You can order via the Internet at this web-site. Or you can order by fax, mail, or phone 800-621-8341 9-5 weekdays. Please call ICE if you prefer not to buy using the Internet.

How do I pay for my courses?

ICE accepts all major credit cards. You can also pay by check.

If I order, what do I get?

Every course is delivered on-line via the Internet. You can also print your own course workbook using on-line files: Adobe Acrobat Reader®, or using your Internet browser.

If you prefer, you can also order a printed workbook from ICE for an additional cost. These workbooks are identical to the on-line course.
