Your CE attendance is online
Check it out! All the information is at your fingertips!
Every continuing education class you attend, regardless of the school location or CE course, is now shown on the websites of both real estate commissions. From now on, when you want to know what courses you've taken, you can go to the source and get the straight scoop for yourself. (But you should still save your course completion certificates.) You can review it anytime 24/7.
To view your records, simply do a Google search for the Kansas or Missouri Real Estate Commission. For Kansas, click on "Check CEU Hours." For Missouri, click on "MREC Licensee Search" to find yourself, then click on "Detail."
It might take a week or two before a course shows up. If Missouri still shows no courses for you, but you know you attended, it's possible you didn't mark the appropriate box on your 2010 license renewal form. You'll need to send MREC a fax with all your information and give them permission to post it. |
