If you’re a licensed real estate professional in Montana, keeping your license active requires completing continuing education (CE) on a consistent schedule. CE isn’t just a requirement—it’s an opportunity to stay current with industry changes, sharpen your skills, and provide better service to your clients.
At License EDU, we make the CE process simple and practical with our fully online, state-approved Montana Real Estate Continuing Education courses. Here’s what you need to know about Montana’s CE requirements as a real estate agent or broker.
Montana Real Estate License Renewal & Deadline
In Montana, real estate licenses must be renewed annually by October 31st. All required CE must be completed before that date.
Completing your CE well ahead of the deadline ensures you avoid late fees or an inactive license, and keeps you practicing without interruption.
Required CE Courses
Montana requires licensed real estate professionals to complete 12 hours of Montana real estate continuing education during each renewal cycle. Montana does not require a specific breakdown of hours by topic, so the full 12 hours may be completed in any approved real estate subject unless the Board specifies otherwise.
Our courses are approved by the Montana Board of Realty Regulation and fulfill all of the continuing education requirements for salespersons and brokers renewing their license.
At License EDU, our Montana CE course package includes:
- 3 hours of Montana Property Management
- 3 hours of Montana Real Estate Financing
- 3 hours of Montana Property Inspections
- 3 hours of Montana NAR Ethics
What Happens if You Don’t Complete CE
If you don’t complete your required 12 CE hours before your renewal deadline, your license may be placed on inactive status. Once inactive, you cannot legally practice real estate until your CE is complete and your license is reinstated. In some cases, additional fees may apply to reactivate your license.
