Licensing Education Class Registration Information

New salespeople must complete the Licensing Education Course (LEC) and pass the state licensing exam within the Provisional licensing period (90 days). All other license types must complete the required class(es) and send the certificate with their application.

Prospective licensees can enroll in the LEC either online, or by paper mail-in form. Whether you mail the form or register online, links to the class will be sent to your email when the paper registration is received and processed by our office.

New salespeople may send a paper LEC enrollment with application, or they may also register for the class online. All other license types must complete LEC before applying. New salespeople are required to complete the course AND pass the exam with PSI Exams with 90 days of becoming licensed. If the course is not completed by new salespeople within 90 days of their issuance date, their Provisional license suspends, and they can no longer engage in retail activities including, but not limited to selling or showing homes, or discussing pricing with potential customers.

Please note: Licensing Education Classes are NOT the same as the Continuing Education Classes, and one may NOT be substituted for the other.

Once you are registered and paid (online or paper mail-in), the link to the course will be emailed to you within 2-3 business days of the department receiving your enrollment. The email with the link will be from sender ‘Manufactured Housing Division.’ The course(s) and exam(s) are self-paced and all online. Exams are proctored by PSI exams, and we strongly recommend that salespeople give a minimum of 2-4 weeks to complete the course and take the exams, in case any unforeseen circumstances occur.
