How to Offer BAP

All brokers must complete the 27-hour Broker Advanced Practices (BAP) course when they:

Renew their active license for the first time, or
Reactive their license and have never completed the BAP course before.

Beginning January 1, 2026, all Advanced Practices courses, including BAP, must consist of at least 26 hours. This change accounts for the new State and Federal Fair Housing course requirement.
