The New Mexico Real Estate Commission requires all licensees (active or inactive) to complete 30 credit hours of continuing education every three years for the first date of licensure, and every three years thereafter.

• NEW LICENSEES: Associate brokers in their first licensing cycle who were licensed as associate brokers for the first time on or after January 1, 2006, as a result of having passed the broker's examination, shall successfully complete 30 hours of courses prescribed by the commission for new brokers, including the approved eight (8) hour real estate commission mandatory course. At least 10 hours must be completed by the end of year one (1), a total of 20 hours must be completed by the end of year two (2), and a total of 30 hours must be completed by the end of year three (3). Associate brokers in their first licensing cycle shall submit course sponsors' verification of successful completion of course work. Associate brokers in their first licensing cycle will be required to take courses as prescribed by the commission during their first year of licensure, pass examinations administered in those first-year classes, and pass an examination as prescribed by the commission as a condition of license renewal at the end of their third year of licensure.
• All associate brokers and qualifying brokers shall successfully complete the approved eight (8) credit hour real estate commission mandatory course during each licensing cycle. Of the remaining twenty-two (22) credit hours, ten (10) credit hours may be credited toward the continuing education requirement from approved training courses. At least twelve (12) credit hours must be taken from approved education courses; however, all twenty-two (22) credit hours may be taken from the list of commission-approved education courses.
• Commission approved courses will be categorized and granted as follows:
  1) Education - a minimum of 12 credit hours per three-year cycle. No one course can provide more than 10 hours of credit. All 22 credit hours can be taken in the education category.
  2) Training - a maximum of 10 credit hours per three-year cycle, with allowable credit hours determined by the Commission.
