MD REAL ESTATE LICENSEE
Continuing Education Requirements
Every two years, MD real estate licensees are required to meet mandated continuing education requirements and renew their licenses. Course content required is based on type of services provided: residential or commercial and your role.

If your license expires on 10/1/2015 or after, hours needed are:

ALL Residential Licensees 15 hours which must include 3.0 Legislative, 1.5 Fair Housing, 3.0 Ethics, 3.0 Agency. The remaining 4.5 hours are electives.
ALL Commercial Licensees (for licensees performing exclusively commercial work, must perform NO residential business) 15 hours which must include 3.0 Legislative, 3.0 Ethics, 3.0 Agency
ALL Brokers, Branch Office Managers and Team Leaders 15 hours which must include all of the above required topics (for Residential or Commercial), plus 3.0 MREC Supervison hours. The remaining 1.5 hours are electives.
Legislative topic (Category A), Fair Housing topic (Category C), Ethics topic (Category D) and Agency (Category H) are required Maryland courses during every 2-year license renewal cycle. The ethics course must include MD Code of Ethics, Flipping, and Predatory Lending.

As of October 1, 2015 Maryland law requires all real estate licensees to complete 3.0 CE in Agency principles and disclosure as part of the 15 hours of education required for license renewal once every 2 years.

As of October 1, 2015 Maryland law also requires all brokers, branch office managers and team leaders to complete 3.0 CE in the requirements of Broker Supervision during every 2-year renewal cycle.

If licensed in another state, Maryland may recognize continuing education hours completed in another state toward your Maryland ELECTIVES. To find out, email the out-of-state CE course completion certificate(s) to mrec@dllr.state.md.us at least 30 days prior to the expiration of your license. If recognized, the hours credited will be entered into your licensing record and an eNotice sent to your email address of record.

Maryland's mandated courses are applicable only to Maryland State, Maryland local, or federal laws; not other states' laws.
