What Makes Georgia Different
Georgia uses a single combined score (no separate national and state portion passing requirements). It also requires 25 hours of post-licensing education within the first 12 months — newly licensed agents must plan for that follow-up coursework. Georgia's GREC is one of the more active state commissions in disciplinary actions, so license law compliance is heavily tested.
