New Continuing Education Tracking Tool For Real Estate Appraisers
The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) is partnering with CE Broker to offer new continuing education tracking tools to Wisconsin’s licensed Real Estate Appraisers (REA).
The Department is strongly encouraging REAs to start using CE Broker to assist in the tracking of required continuing education. CE Broker will be the primary tool used in federally required audits of Real Estate Appraisers moving forward, and any licensee audited will be required to enter continuing education in CE Broker. So, signing up for an account now will expediate any future continuing education audits.
You can create a free CE Broker Basic Account, which includes new tools that provide everything you need to track your continuing education and stay in compliance with requirements.
Key features of a free Basic Account:
-
Digital Tracking - Access your complete continuing education course history, store any certificates, and check your compliance status anytime.
-
Course Search - Easily find every course needed to successfully complete your license renewal requirements.
-
Easy Reporting - Most education providers will automatically report course completions to CE Broker for you. You can also easily self-report any missing credits by uploading your proof of completion.
-
Helpful Support – CE Broker provides a team of experts trained on the rules and regulations of your board, available Mon-Fri from 8am - 8pm ET via live chat, email, and phone.
You also have the option to pay a fee and access higher-level accounts that include tools beyond those offered through the free, basic account. Those include tools like a personalized CE Broker transcript or access to a CE Broker account manager.
CE Broker has also provided helpful instructions for creating an account, which are in the attached pdf.CEBroker.pdf
You can also find more detailed information about the tools available and how to sign up for an account by going to the Real Estate Appraiser profession pages on the DSPS website.
