Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
15 hours
Fifteen hours represents the approximate annual pace of CE completion but is not the total required for a full two-year renewal cycle; selecting 15 hours reflects a misunderstanding of how Minnesota's CE requirement is structured and reported.
30 hours
90 hours
Ninety hours far exceeds Minnesota's salesperson CE requirement and is not supported by any provision of Minnesota real estate licensing law; this figure might be confused with pre-licensing education hour requirements in some states.
150 hours
One hundred fifty hours is an extremely high figure that has no basis in Minnesota's salesperson CE requirements and would represent an unreasonable burden; this number may cause confusion with broker pre-licensing education requirements in other states.
Why is this correct?
Minnesota requires real estate salespersons to complete 30 hours of continuing education per two-year renewal cycle, which breaks down to approximately 15 hours per year, as specified under Minnesota Department of Commerce rules implementing Minn. Stat. § 82.61. This 30-hour total must include specific mandatory course modules designated by the Department, with the remainder fulfilled through approved elective courses. The 30-hour figure is the total that must be reported and verified at the time of license renewal, making it the operative number for exam purposes.
