Answer: A
Pass the Colorado portion of the licensing examination
A licensee who wishes to renew an active license can fulfill the requirement by passing the Colorado portion of the licensing examination. This option provides a valid pathway for maintaining licensure without completing the standard continuing education courses.
A) Pass the Colorado portion of the licensing examination
This option is correct as it offers an alternative to the continuing education course requirements. Successfully passing the Colorado portion of the licensing exam demonstrates the licensee's current knowledge and competency in the field, thereby satisfying the renewal criteria.
B) Complete the 24-hour Brokerage Administration course
This option is incorrect because while completing specific courses can contribute to continuing education requirements, it does not serve as an alternative for renewing an active license without fulfilling the standard requirements. This course is not specified as an alternative method for renewal.
C) Show good cause together with a request for a 30-day extension
This option is incorrect in the context of renewing an active license. While it may allow for a temporary extension, it does not directly meet the requirements for renewal under normal circumstances, which necessitate fulfilling specific educational or examination criteria.
D) Complete continuing education requirements in another state where she is also licensed
This option is incorrect because the continuing education requirements must typically be fulfilled in the state where the license is held, in this case, Colorado. Completing requirements in another state does not exempt the licensee from the specific renewal requirements mandated by Colorado regulations.
Conclusion
The correct answer is definitive as passing the Colorado portion of the licensing examination directly fulfills the renewal requirement without the need for continuing education courses. Other options either do not meet the necessary criteria for license renewal or provide alternatives that do not align with state regulations. Thus, option A is the only valid choice for license renewal in this context.
