Iowa Real Estate Practice Exam 2026 – Full Prep Resource

The ability for a licensee to repeat a course during a three-year licensing period is specifically tied to the requirement for the course to present new perspectives or information that would enhance the licensee's knowledge and skills. If the course content has been updated, it reflects a substantial change in knowledge that can contribute to the licensee's professional development. Therefore, a course can be repeated successfully if it includes new or different material, even if the course is presented by the same instructor or at the same location. This means that merely changing the course numbers or instructors does not fulfill the requirement; it is the content that truly determines the value of retaking a course.

Consequently, while the other conditions may seem beneficial, they do not inherently validate the necessity to repeat the course—only updated content provides non-redundant educational value. This ensures that licensees continue to meet the evolving standards and requirements of the real estate profession.
