A Salesperson is required to have completed a total of 18 semester (270 classroom) hours of education, at least 14 semester (210 classroom) hours of which must be in core real estate courses, by the end of their first year of licensure. On the chart below, one can see that 150 of those classroom hours in core real estate courses are to have been completed before the application for the Salesperson license is made (and may be filed along with the application). Please note that this means only 4 additional semester (60 classroom) hours in core real estate courses are required to be filed during the first year as a licensed Salesperson. These hours are known as SAE, or Salesperson Annual Education. These 60 additional classroom hours in core real estate for the SAE must be submitted and on the TREC system by the end of the first year of licensure.

General Questions Regarding MCE Requirements
When a question references MCE it means 15 classroom hours of Commission approved Mandatory Continuing Education, 6 hours of which must be in legal topics.
You are subject to MCE if:
• you are a salesperson, not under SAE requirements.
• you are a broker not exempted in October 1991 by Senate Bill 432.
In all cases, an inactive license does not require MCE. Only active licenses have an MCE requirement.
Online classes are a convenient and fast way to obtain your required hours. They work especially well if you are getting close to your license expiration date.
