FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS A2. An applicant for a CM dealer or salesperson license is only required to pay the associated fee for the examination. Reference HSC 18053.5, T25 section 5022. A3. Dealer examination fee is $110; salesperson is $86, for each time the examination is taken. Reference T25-5040 (e). Note: Holders of a valid and current MH salesperson license need not take the six-hour preliminary education course if applying for a MH dealer license. The same applies to an MH dealer wanting to get a separate salespersons license to work for another dealer. Holders of multiple MH licenses may be able to apply the same continuing education course requirements for all licenses if earned within the respective licensure terms. Reference T25 5302. 4. Q. What is Preliminary and Continuing Education? Why is it only required for MH dealers and MH salespersons? A. To improve consumer protection, preliminary and continuing education requirements were mandated into law to ensure MH dealers and MH salespersons are aware of the legal responsibilities and liabilities associated with their licenses. Generally, CM buyers are businesses or government agencies and better equipped to protect their interests than the average consumer. Reference HSC 18056. 5. Q. How much continuing education must I complete each renewal period? A. For the first license renewal period: 24 hours. For the second license renewal period: 12 hours. For the third and subsequent license renewal periods 6 hours. Reference HSC 18056.2. 6. Q. What continuing education courses are required and how many hours is each course? A1. For the first license renewal period: 24 hours in any of the courses listed below are required: Laws and regulations governing MH manufacturing and sales. Escrow. Advertising and Misrepresentations. Registration and Titling. Purchase Documents. Warranties. Mobilehome Park Residency Law and Mobilehome Parks Act. Reference T25 section 5306. A2. For the subsequent license renewal periods: One course is always required (Laws and Regulations) and the remaining hours can be from any other approved course they choose. Reference T25 section 5306. A3. Course duration varies depending on how many hours the course provider listed when they applied for approval. At the very minimum continuing education courses must be at least 2 hours long. Typical courses are 2, 3, 4, or 6 hours long. Contact the course provider or visit the HCD OL website for more information at: http://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes/ol/corprvd.htm . Reference T25 section 5310.
