GRI Designation Course Requirements

Begin by reviewing the following three areas to determine which courses you need for your GRI designation:

• The current GRI course requirements through MNR
• Log into your Continuing Ed Express account to review the GRI courses you already completed
• Review our current list of Minnesota CE courses approved for GRI

Follow the below simple steps:

1. Begin by comparing the first two items listed above. You might find you have already completed a few CE courses which qualify for GRI credit!
    
2. Determine which courses you still need from which categories, and then…
    
3. Review your third item, the Minnesota continuing education course list page from Continuing Ed Express. Find the courses with the “GRI” tag in front of the course name, and select courses you have not previously taken. Please Note: Not all courses labeled “GRI” are the required GRI courses. Please review the link above from Minnesota Realtors to see the required and elective GRI courses.

Please Note:
Our ordering system does not permit students to purchase a course which has been previously purchased. If you would like to re-take a course for GRI credit only, please contact us. This GRI-only version will NOT count for CE credit, but for GRI credit only. 

If you see a course listed on MNR’s course requirements list with a slightly different name than what is on our current CE course list, contact us to verify whether or not it qualifies.

Contact Minnesota REALTORS® (MNR) if you have questions about classroom GRI courses, your GRI status, and additional information about how to fulfill the GRI requirements.
