(1) All new sales licensees are required to complete the board-mandated new licensee mandatory continuing education requirement, commonly known as the 12-hour rookie course, within 120 days following their original license issue date. If no rookie course is offered within the 120-day period, the new licensee must complete the class when the class is next offered after the 120-day period unless, at the board's discretion, it is extended for good cause. Only live in-person presentations of the rookie course will be approved by the board. No online or webinar rookie courses are appropriate.

(2) For the first licensing year only, the rookie course will substitute for a salesperson's regular continuing education. The regular 12-hour continuing education requirement begins with the second year of licensing.

(3) All licensees are required to submit the renewal form and renewal fee by the date set by ARM 24.101.413 and each renewal date thereafter.
