Attention New Mexico Students

1. New Mexico now requires 42 hours of CE credit for Qualifying Brokers. The CE Shop does not currently offer the Qualifying Broker Refresher Course. If you’re uncertain, contact our Customer Support team via phone, email, or chat, and we’d be happy to help.

2. If you have missed your annual core course for the previous year, and you are unable to find a course still being offered, you will need to take the 30-hour Broker Basics course as a penalty.
