FAQ

What should I prioritize right now?

With the June 2026 CE deadline approaching, the most urgent requirements to complete are the MN Department of Commerce’s:

  • 2025/26 Salesperson and Broker Required Module: Contracts (3.75 CE)

  • Completion of this course will also satisfy the 1-hour broker module training requirement

  • Fair Housing (at least 1.0 CE)

  • Agency Law (at least 1.0 CE)

MAR is offering classes that fulfill these requirements through mid-June. Check out our classes & events calendar to register.

Your education transcript in Pulse Portal will show you what your requirements are, and if you’ve fulfilled them or not. Find instructions for how to check your transcript here.

Classes at MAR will always say in the course description what, if any, requirements the class fulfills. 

Other providers usually also make this clear, but if you’re not certain, reach out to ask.
