The Maryland Real Estate Commission (MREC) recently announced that licensees are now able to check their personal continuing education (CED) credits on-line through the Commission's new education portal.  Licensees will need to use/create a personal password with their registration number to access their records.  The records will list the type of credit, (i.e. Legal & Legislative, Fair Housing...), the number of hours the class has, the date the program was given and the school that the program was taken with.  Starting in January 2013, all schools are required to up-load their student rosters to the Commission's site, which will populate the licensees personal record. 
(Please note:  MAR has up-loaded some classes in 2012 for testing material .  You may or may not see any history.  Please remember to keep your paper certificates through 2012 for renewal verification purposes.)

Just think, you will now be able to check on all your classes taken, regardless of the schools, at one location!
