Starting on April 20, 2022, real estate licensees in NYS will be required to complete "at least two hours of cultural competency training" as part of their 22.5 hours of continuing education to renew their license because of a new law, S979A.
Lieb School is on top of making sure that its students lead the industry, having already drafted curriculum to satisfy this requirement. Our course will educate licensees on the following subtopics:
- Right to Social Benefits of Integration
- Misunderstanding in Cultural Competency
- 4 Elements in Developing Cultural Competency
- Friction Between Cultural Sensitivity & Discrimination Law
- Cultural Norms, Preferences, & Challenges
- Cultural Competence Techniques
While this course is being finalized for licensing, we asked the Bill Sponsor, James Gaughran, for guidance on what he envisioned in the Curriculum by email on 12/15/2021. We await a response.
