Every two (2) years, 21 hours of Continuing Education including a 3 hour core course is required to renew your license. The "What Am I and Why is it Important?" core course is mandatory for licenses renewed or activated on or after January 1, 2009. The CE Shop offers only elective hours at this time. Please see our catalog for elective course listings.
- Licensees must complete CE every two (2) years prior to the day of their license anniversary date.
Immediately upon real estate course completion, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course Certificate of Completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five (5) years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Licensees are encouraged to retain copies of their Certificates of Completion in the event that they are audited by the state. Please refer to your renewal application to determine if you need to submit your Certificate(s) of Completion with your renewal.
Real estate course completions are recorded with the Maine REC each business day. It may take 2-4 business days from the time we report your hours before the Commission updates your license and/or updates their website with the hours.
