Any real estate licensee who currently has the Supervising Broker endorsement must complete a 4 hour designated "Supervising Broker" course each year as part of their 12 hours of annual continuing education in order to maintain the endorsement and continue to supervise salespeople. The CE Shop currently does not offer this course.
Beginning with the 2012 license year (November 1, 2011-October 31, 2012), the Board of Realty Regulation will be implementing a requirement that all Montana real estate licensees take a required Core Course in addition to the currently required 12 hours of continuing education. For the 2012 licensing year, the Core Course will be 4 hours long; however, this may change from year to year depending on the depth and breadth of information the Board would like to see covered. This means that for the 2012 license year, all licensees will be required to take 16 total hours of education — one 4-hour Core Course and 12 hours additional continuing education (with at least 4 hours of the 12 from a mandatory topic). Currently, The CE Shop does not offer the new 4 hour Core course.
Per ARM 24.210.829, beginning November 1, 2007, new property management licensees are required to complete 12 hours of new licensee mandatory continuing education by the second renewal date as set by ARM 24.1010.413 following their original license issue date. Six of these hours must consist of: (a) two hours of trust accounts, (b) two hours of leasing principles, (c) two hours of state law update. The CE Shop currently does not have these courses.
CE Shop Offering: 12 hours (8 elective/4 mandatory) Currently, The CE Shop does not have the 4 hour core course required in addition to the 8 elective/4 mandatory hours.
Reporting: Real estate course completions are recorded with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry: Business Standards Division as required once a week on Thursdays. It may take 2-4 business days from the time we report your hours before the Commission updates your license and/or updates their website with the hours.
Expiration date of course: Courses expire one year after the order date.
Post Licensing: All new salespeople will receive an interim license that will expire October 31. As required by ARM, 24.210.611, you must complete the New License Mandatory Continuing Education class (commonly referred to as the Rookie Course) and renew your license prior to October 31, or your license will expire and you will be required to reapply for a license and meet current licensing requirements. The CE Shop currently does not offer this course.
Final Exams: Final exams must be passed with a 75% and may be taken as many times as necessary in order to pass.
Certificates: Immediately upon real estate course completion, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course Certificate of Completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five (5) years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Please refer to your renewal application to determine if you need to submit your Certificate(s) of Completion with your renewal.
