PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING to ensure compliance with MN State CE requirements.

ICE Continuing Education Courses

ICE courses are highly sought after by licensees because we allow for a variety of learning styles. When you take our courses, you set your schedule. Please note: ICE courses may be used for all of the required 30 hours. ICE courses must be completed using the Internet; complete all lessons for each course. Your Final Exam must also be taken on-line. You pass your Final Exam with a grade of 70% or better. If you do not pass your first Final Exam with a grade of 70% or better you are permitted 1 retake. A detailed analysis of your Final Exam results is available on-line. All Final Exams are graded immediately, and the Completion Certificate is provided on-line for printing. Your ICE Completion Certificate must be acknowledged on-line verifying that you alone did the work.

Satisfying MN State Requirements

30 credit hours of Continuing Education is required every 2 years, including a minimum of 15 credit hours which must be completed within the first 12 months of each renewed license period. You must complete the core course, "Minnesota Agency & Disclosure plus Fair Housing" once every two years. Build your 15 hours using the available electives. If your license expires June 30, 2010 - complete a total of 30 credit hours: 15 credit hours completed not later than 6/30/2009 & 15 credit hours by 6/30/2010. The state would prefer that you apply for your license renewal by June 15, 2010, but the actual deadline is June 30, 2010. If your license expires on June 30, 2011 - complete 15 credit hours no later than June 30, 2010. If you are licensed as a salesperson, you need to deliver your course Completion Certificates to your broker on or before the above June 30 deadlines.

Fulfilling State Time Requirements

When you navigate through a course, there is a timer in the upper right-hand corner that suggests how long you should spend on that lesson. We recommend that you allow the timer to run down to 0:00 in order to maximize your time; if you choose to disregard the timer and you complete the lessons in less than the suggested time, then when you are done with all of the lessons, you must stay active in a Review Session of questions that must be answered with at least 70% accuracy until you satisfy the time requirement as approved by the State of Minnesota. For a 3-hour course, you must remain active in the course for 120 minutes, and you have 30 minutes to complete the final exam. For a 6-hour course, you must remain active in the course for 240 minutes, and you have 60 minutes to complete the final exam.

Real Estate License Number Verification

The Minnesota Commerce Department is now using Pulse Portal to track your CE credits. It is very important that you are using your exact license number AS RECORDED IN THE STATE'S COMPUTER, otherwise your regulators will not see your ICE credits and will think you did not do your CE. There is a new feature on your ICE desktop for verifying your license number. It will save you lots of time. Remember, it's your responsibility to provide ICE with a good and valid license number.
