Salesperson Licensing

The content for each course is Outlined in State Statute from the Department of Commerce at this link. “Lay of the Land Courses 1” and “From the Ground Up Courses 2 and 3” are the Minnesota approved courses, required before you can begin work under your Broker’s License.

Each section is timed and must be completed in order. You will have a quiz for each section that must be passed in order to move on to the next section. This assures that you understand the material.

While each section has a minimum amount of time allotted, you may take as long as you wish with each section and review it as often as you like, so long as you complete the entire course within 120 days.

At the end on the course, there is an online examination that requires a proctor, a person with no financial interest in your passing the exam, who is not a relative and who signs a prescribed Proctor Form saying they saw you take the exam with no assistance from books, notes, your computer, or any other source when taking the exam.

When you have passed the exam, you must submit the proctor form, course evaluation and the last four digits of your SSN so that course completion can be submitted to the state. Please use your legal name, as it appears on your driver’s license.

A Certificate of Completion is provided after successfully completing the course, and the Certificate of Completion will be required, in-hand, when you take the state Real Estate Salesperson Licensing examination.
