Education Requirements

MN DOC – LICENSING

 The MN Department of Commerce (DOC) requires real estate salespersons to complete 30 hours
of real estate continuing education (CE) before their June 30 license renewal deadline, and at
least 15 of those hours must be completed before the previous June 30. Continuing education
must be taken in the appropriate license period; extra hours or courses do not carry over into the
next period or satisfy future renewal requirements. You may not repeat a continuing education
course for credit during the same licensing period.

complete.

– At least one hour of “Agency Laws” must be completed as part of the 30 hours required

15 hours each license year.
