(A) All real estate licensees,
			 except as provided in paragraph (D) of this rule, are
			 required to certify completion of thirty hours of continuing education courses
			 every three years. If a licensee is licensed as a
			 broker, broker on deposit, or acts as a management level licensee, a three hour
			 course on the duties of a principal broker and other issues involved in
			 operating a real estate brokerage must be included within the required thirty
			 hours of continuing education courses.
								
									the licensee
				is in compliance with this rule. All licensees must maintain proof of
				compliance for six years and shall make such records available for
				audit.
(B) Licensees must
			 certify completing the thirty hours of continuing education on or before the
			 licensee's date of birth three years after the licensee's date of initial
			 licensure and every three years
			 thereafter.
(C) Where a licensee
			 fails to meet the continuing education requirements of section
			 4735.141 of the Revised Code
			 because the license was inactive due to military service, the licensee must
			 submit proof of completing the thirty hours of continuing education, on or
			 before the date required by section
			 4735.13 of the Revised Code. The
			 continuing education submitted shall satisfy the continuing education
			 requirements for the first renewal filed following the date of honorable
			 discharge or separation under honorable conditions from the armed
			 forces.
(D) Each licensee, who is
			 seventy years of age or older shall submit proof of completing the
			  hours of continuing education listed
			 in paragraph (E) of this rule
			 on or before the licensee's date of birth and every three years thereafter.
			 Each licensee with an inactive license, or broker
			 license on deposit, who is seventy years of age or older, is exempt from
			 the continuing education requirements specified in paragraph (E) of  this rule.
Regardless of age, if a licensee is
				licensed as a broker, broker on deposit, or acts as a management level
				licensee, the licensee shall submit proof of completing a three hour course on
				the duties of a principal broker and other issues involved in operating a real
				estate brokerage on or before the licensee's date of birth and every three
				years thereafter.

			 housing.
(2) Three classroom hours
			 minimum in a course on current state and federal
			 legislation affecting the real estate industry, which
