But I'd still call to check just to be sure.Note that while the Realtors are a great resource and the most likely to answer their phone to help you (because they sell classes, basically), I believe the "real" authority who matters for your broker application is the RI Division of Business Regulation (DBR) - see http://www.dbr.state.ri.us/divisions/commlicensing/realestate.php (in particular the "Education (Salesperson & Broker)" section on that page).The DBR education resources may not, though, cover the lead specific requirements you're asking about.
