Angela holds both an active Michigan real estate salesperson license and an active Michigan appraisal license. She completed 18 hours of LARA-BPL-approved appraisal continuing education during her real estate renewal cycle, all of which covered topics directly related to real property valuation and market analysis. She submitted these hours for her real estate CE renewal. Under Michigan law, which of the following outcomes is most accurate?

Correct Answer

A) The hours may partially satisfy her real estate CE requirement only if each specific appraisal course has also been approved by LARA-BPL for real estate CE credit

This is a high-difficulty trap question. The key principle under LARA-BPL's CE framework is that each course must be specifically approved for the profession for which CE credit is being claimed. The fact that a course is LARA-BPL-approved for appraisal CE does not automatically make it LARA-BPL-approved for real estate CE. Angela's appraisal CE hours may satisfy her real estate CE requirement only if each individual course has been separately approved by LARA-BPL for real estate continuing education credit. Topic relevance alone (e.g., property valuation) is not sufficient — the approval must be profession-specific. This distinction is frequently missed by exam takers who assume that LARA-BPL approval for one profession transfers to another.

Answer Options
A
The hours may partially satisfy her real estate CE requirement only if each specific appraisal course has also been approved by LARA-BPL for real estate CE credit
B
All 18 hours automatically satisfy her real estate CE requirement because LARA-BPL approved them for another real estate-related profession
C
None of the appraisal CE hours can satisfy the real estate CE requirement because Michigan prohibits cross-profession CE credit under any circumstances
D
Up to 9 of the 18 appraisal CE hours automatically satisfy the real estate CE requirement, with the remaining 9 hours requiring real estate-specific courses
