Question 27

Yes, as elective credit.

The Missouri Real Estate Commission would likely approve the broker's seminar for continuing education credit as elective credit due to its focus on relevant topics that enhance the skills of licensees.

A) Yes, as elective credit.

This option is correct because the seminar covers valuable topics such as financing, changes in license law, sales promotion techniques, and telephone skills, which are beneficial for licensees. The Missouri Real Estate Commission typically accepts seminars that enrich professional knowledge as elective credits.

B) Yes, as required credit.

This option is incorrect because the seminar does not cover mandatory topics that are typically required for continuing education. Required credits usually focus on specific areas designated by the commission that must be completed to maintain a license, rather than elective topics.

C) No, because the seminar does not meet continuing education requirements.

This option is incorrect as the seminar does meet the criteria for elective continuing education, despite not covering required topics. It provides useful knowledge that can enhance a licensee's skills and is likely to be accepted as such.

D) No, because the seminar is not long enough.

This option is also incorrect. While the seminar is only 3 hours long, the duration does not inherently disqualify it from being considered for elective credit, as many approved continuing education seminars exist within similar time frames.

Conclusion

The correct answer is A, as the seminar provides valuable content relevant to the practice of real estate, qualifying it for elective credit. All other options fail because they either misinterpret the nature of the seminar's content or the requirements set by the Missouri Real Estate Commission. Thus, the seminar's focus on practical skills and knowledge supports its approval as elective continuing education.
