Continuing Education - Required every 2 years

Continuing Education Requirements

North Dakota real estate agents must complete 16 hours of approved continuing education every two years to renew a real estate license.

• Commencing January 1, 2000, and every two years thereafter, each applicant for renewal of a broker’s or salesperson’s not license shall submit proof of participation in not less than 16 hours of approved education, six of which must be completed in the first year. If a broker or salesperson will not have been licensed two years on the date the individual is required to certify continuing education hours, the number of required hours may be reduced in accordance with rules adopted by the commission.
• A license may not be renewed by the commission unless the proper certification showing fulfillment of the continuing education requirements and the appropriate licensing fees are submitted to the commission.
• The commission may exempt licensees from the continuing education requirements, for reasons relating to the licensee’s health, military service, or for other good causes.
• Licensees who have held a real estate license for 15 continuous years on January 1, 1984, are exempt from the continuing education requirements.
