Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

3

3 hours is far below Montana's statutory requirement and would not provide sufficient ongoing education to keep licensees current with state and federal real estate law changes.

B

6

6 hours represents half of Montana's actual requirement and may be confused with shorter CE requirements in other states or with specific mandatory topic hour requirements within the larger 12-hour total.

C

12

Correct Answer
D

24

24 hours is double Montana's actual requirement and may be confused with biennial CE requirements in other states that require 24 hours over a two-year renewal cycle rather than annually.

Why is this correct?

Montana law requires licensees to complete 12 hours of approved continuing education per licensing year as a condition of license renewal, as established under Montana Code Annotated and administered by the Montana Board of Realty Regulation. This requirement applies to both salespersons and brokers and must include specific mandatory topics such as Montana-specific real estate law updates and ethical practices. Failure to complete the required CE hours results in the inability to renew the license.
