Education Certificates are $99 for members (unlimited credits) and $129 for non-members (unlimited credits) and enable the purchaser to attend Continuing Education classes sponsored by NMAR for the education year. (Nov. 1, 2011 - Oct. 31, 2012) They are available for purchase at NMAR. Cost per individual class: $15/credit hour for members and $20/credit hour for non-members.

To purchase an education certificate online using either a credit card or by EFT, click here (this requires members to log into the realtor.org website. If you do not remember your username or password to www.realtor.org, please call NAR at 1-800-874-6500

Checks may also be mailed to NMAR @ 110 Cooperative Way, Kalispell, MT 59901

When purchasing an Education Certificate, the holder agrees to the policies adopted by the Education Committee. Holder agrees to:

• Reserve a space by calling or emailing NMAR staff ahead of time, preferably 2 weeks before class.
• Call and cancel class reservation five days ahead of reserved class if holder will not be attending.
• A member losing Education Certificate privileges can still attend the classes but will have to pay the fees charged to non-certificate holders.
  
• Not reserve a seat and then be a "no-show"
• Two "no-shows" in any calendar year will cause holder to lose his/her privilege to purchase an Education Certificate the following year. The committee knows that sometimes a person can fall ill or have an accident or whatever and that is why they made the policy for two rather than just one "no-show."
  
• Be seated 10 minutes before class begins.
• Be present in the classroom the BRR required time to receive credits.
• Observe all rules of attendance whether or not credit is needed.
• Park on NMAR parking side of the lot. Do not park in front of the businesses on the south side. Carpool when possible.
• Not hold NMAR liable in the event holder is injured while on NMAR property.

In order to qualify for CE credits, students are required to adhere to the following rules for the duration of each class:

• Turn off all cell phones (off - not vibrate)
• Put away all non-class related reading materials
• Be present for the entire class

If these rules are not followed you may be fined or not receive credit for the class.

Cell phone ringing during class is an automatic $20 fine.

Missing more than 10 accumulated minutes will result in no credit for the class.

Repeated cell phone disturbance, reading non-class materials or other disrespectful or disruptive behavior may also constitute the denial of credits.

Please remember to register early for classes, especially with popular speakers, as those classes tend to fill up early. Please call (406) 752-4197 to sign up & register for any of the NMAR courses.

The BRR regulates real estate education requirements in Montana. The Montana BRR requires Montana REALTORS to have twelve (12) hours of continuing education credits each year. It is required that at least four (4) of those credits be mandatory credits. Montana REALTORS are required to have all twelve (12) credits completed by October 31st of each year.

Any real estate licensee who currently has the Supervising Broker endorsement must complete a 4 hour designated "Supervising Broker" course each year as part of their 12 hours of annual continuing education in order to maintain the endorsement and continue to supervise salespeople.

For more information on BRR requirements, including a CE Topic List, Click Here.

The Montana BRR also holds a mandatory Rookie Class for new Licensees, designed by a team of brokers, lenders, title company managers and real estate educators to augment pre-licensing education and training for new agents. Click Here for the Rookie CE Registration Form.
