Eight college level real estate courses, all day exam, 45 hours continuous ed every 4 years for broker license. Eight hours annual CE for mortgage license plus $330 per license. The NMLS license and fee is annual. Annual FinCen (anti-money laundering) CE and certification. Then ongoing Compliance laws and the obvious...ongoing product and industry changes.
Oh, how I wish I was a little bar of soap...
CA notary education, CE, and exam are well worth the effort. I recall it was not extremely difficult but also not too easy.
Yes, there should be an initial and continuous education and test requirement. I appreciate those who have invested in themselves and taught themselves well, regardless of State requirements. JMO |
