Requirements

Coming Soon – All New Online Courses!

Due to new MN legislation effective 7/1/10, all of our online real estate CE courses have expired.

Kaplan is currently building an entire library of brand new and exciting courses. Details will be posted on this page as soon as the courses are available.

All real estate licensees are required to complete 30 hours of approved continuing education during each licensing period.

Licensees are on a two-year renewal cycle. However, you are still required to complete 15 hours of approved continuing education every year.

You may fulfill your education requirements by attending up to 30 hours during the first year of your two-year license period. However, you cannot skip your first-year 15-hour requirement and then take 30 hours in your second year.

Continuing education credits must be reported annually to your broker. Each broker is required to certify that all licensees have fulfilled their continuing education requirements each year.

Agency and Fair Housing Education Required Every 2 Years

You are required to complete at least 1 hour of training on agency representation and disclosure plus 1 hour of training on fair housing issues during every two-year licensing period.

Education Deadline: June 30th

Officially, the deadline for completing 15 hours of continuing education and reporting hours to your broker is June 30th. BE CAREFUL! If your license expires June 30, 2010, your deadline for making timely renewal is June 15th.

If your license expires on June 30, 2011:

You must complete 30 hours (including mandatory agency and fair housing) and apply for renewal no later than June 15, 2011. At least 15 of the 30 hours must have been completed and reported to your broker no later than June 30, 2010.

If your license expires on June 30, 2012:

You must complete 30 hours (including mandatory agency and fair housing) and apply for renewal no later than June 15, 2012. At least 15 of the 30 hours must be completed and reported to your broker no later than June 30, 2011.
