Frequently Asked Questions

Continuing Ed Express has officially become part of the OnlineEd platform, bringing together two organizations with a shared commitment to high-quality, state-approved real estate education. For students, this means a seamless transition with more benefits: you’ll continue to have access to your Minnesota CE completion certificates from the last five years, while also enjoying a modern learning platform, expanded course offerings, and ongoing support from OnlineEd’s experienced team.

OnlineEd is now the official provider for past Continuing Ed Express salespersons and brokers for all Minnesota CE courses. Going forward, you’ll enroll in and complete your continuing education courses directly through https://www.onlineed.com/catalog/Minnesota/real-estate/continuing-education?tags=empire.

Continuing Ed Express has proudly served Minnesota and other licensees for nearly 20 years. By joining OnlineEd, that legacy continues — now with broader state coverage, improved mobile access, and new course topics designed to make license renewal and professional development easier than ever.

For Minnesota continuing education students, all of your Continuing Ed Express completion certificates since July 1, 2020 are stored at EmpireLearning.Com . Log in, go to the “Completed Courses” section, and you’ll see download links for each certificate.

If you are asking "why Empire Learning?" - Empire Learning also joined OnlineEd and is temporarily storing completion certificates during the transition. All certificates will be migrated to OnlineEd in June 2026. 

All course purchases and access will happen through https://www.onlineed.com/catalog/Minnesota/real-estate/continuing-education?tags=empire moving forward. You will no longer be able to log in to the ContinuingEdExpress website.
