Mississippi Licensing Requirements and Education
Becoming and staying licensed in Mississippi involves pre-license education, the state exam, post-license education, and continuing education. This chapter summarizes the path for a Mississippi salesperson.
Pre-License Education and Exam
A candidate must complete approved pre-license education and pass the licensing examination, which includes national and Mississippi-specific content. The salesperson license becomes active only when the licensee is placed with a responsible broker. Applicants must meet the Commission's character and background requirements.
Post-License Education
Mississippi requires newly licensed salespersons to complete required post-license education during the first period of licensure. Completing this early education is a condition of moving from a new license to continued licensure, and failing to complete it on time can jeopardize the license.
Continuing Education and Renewal
Mississippi licenses renew on a set schedule, and licensees must complete Commission-approved continuing education during each license period. Continuing education keeps licensees current on law changes, agency rules, and required topics. Letting a license lapse can require additional steps to reinstate.
