    Sales Apprentice Education (SAE)

    The additional Texas education a sales agent must complete before the first license renewal.

    Sales Apprentice Education, or SAE, is the post-license education a Texas sales agent must complete before the first renewal of the license. It builds on the pre-license courses and must be finished within the initial license period to renew on an active status.

    SAE is a one-time first-renewal requirement, separate from the ongoing continuing education a license holder takes for later renewals.

    On the exam

    SAE is the post-license education due before a sales agent's first renewal. It is distinct from ongoing continuing education.

    Exam trap

    Do not confuse the one-time SAE requirement before the first renewal with the recurring continuing education required for renewals after that.
