Education & Licensing Services Division

The primary role of the Education & Licensing Services (ELS) Division is to ensure that education, experience, examination and license application requirements are satisfied before a license or registration is issued to real estate brokers or salespersons, appraisers, inspectors, and easement or right-of-way registrants. The division has 19 staff.

The Education Section determines that education and experience requirements are satisfied for the various license types. This section is responsible for the review and accreditation of approved proprietary schools (as providers of core education), approval of Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) providers, and approval of MCE and core courses as well as course instructors. The Education section is also responsible for ensuring that qualifying exams are administered without problems and that results are posted accurately to the agency’s database system.

The Licensing section reviews and processes applications, renewals, information changes, and histories for all license types. This section is responsible for ensuring that applications and renewals contain all required information, assist walk-in customers, and proof license documents before release. The Licensing staff also provides primary assistance in preparing files and performing data entry for the imaging and electronic storage of over 200,000 licensee master files.
