Correct answer: C. 60 clock hours

Correct. Alabama requires applicants to complete a 60 clock hour AREC-approved prelicense course before taking the state salesperson licensing exam.

• A: Ninety hours exceeds Alabama's actual pre-license requirement of 60 hours; this figure does not match AREC's course requirements.
• B: Thirty hours understates the pre-license requirement; 30 hours corresponds to the separate post-license course, not pre-licensing.
• D: 120 hours is not the Alabama pre-license standard; it substantially overstates the 60-hour requirement.

Correct answer: A. 30 hours within 12 months of initial licensure

Correct. Alabama requires newly licensed salespersons to complete 30 hours of AREC-approved post-licensing education within 12 months of initial licensure, or the license expires.

• B: Fifteen hours in 6 months does not match Alabama's post-licensing requirement, which is a 30-hour course with a 12-month completion window.
• C: Forty-five hours in 24 months misstates both the hour requirement and the completion window.
• D: Thirty days is far too short; Alabama allows a full 12 months to complete the 30-hour post-licensing course.

Correct answer: C. 15 clock hours

Correct. Alabama requires 15 clock hours of AREC-prescribed continuing education every two years to renew an active real estate license.

• A: Six hours understates the Alabama CE requirement; that figure is closer to the pharmacy technician CE cycle, not real estate.
• B: Thirty hours matches the post-licensing course requirement, not the ongoing biennial continuing education requirement.
• D: Three hours is far below Alabama's actual 15-hour biennial continuing education requirement.

Correct answer: B. Written informed consent of all parties to the transaction

Correct. RECAD, at Ala. Code § 34-27-81, defines a limited consensual dual agent as a licensee engaged as agent for both buyer and seller only with the written informed consent of all parties to the transaction.

• A: Verbal agreement between only two of the parties does not satisfy RECAD's written informed consent requirement, which must involve all parties to the transaction.
• C: RECAD compliance is a licensee-level disclosure and consent obligation; it is not something the Commission individually approves transaction by transaction.
• D: Using the same brokerage does not eliminate the disclosure and written consent requirements; dual agency disclosure obligations still apply.

Correct answer: D. As soon as reasonably possible and before any confidential information is disclosed

Correct. Alabama agency disclosure rules (implementing RECAD) require the licensee to provide the disclosure form as soon as reasonably possible and before any confidential information is disclosed to any other person by the licensee.

• A: Waiting until closing defeats the purpose of the disclosure, which is meant to inform the consumer early, before confidential information changes hands.
• B: The disclosure obligation is not contingent on the consumer requesting it; it is an affirmative duty of the licensee.
• C: A 30-day post-offer window is inconsistent with the rule's requirement that disclosure occur early, before confidential information is shared.
