  • Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor Qualifier (WI Dept. of Safety & Professional Services):  Wisconsin residential building contractors must complete 12 credit hours of continuing education every two years with at least four of the hours focused on construction laws and codes and contracts, liability, and risk management. Courses that qualify for the four hour requirement will be marked as WI Legal/Business Course on the website.
  • Minnesota Real Estate (MN Dept. of Commerce): 30 for each two-year license cycle. You must complete 15 hours of education each year within that two-year period (there are special requirements – see the MN Dept. of Commerce website http://mn.gov/commerce for details).
