How long is completed MLO pre-license coursework valid?

Completed pre-licensing education is valid for 3 years. You must obtain a valid state license or federal registration within 3 years of completing the 20 hours, or within 3 years of the last date you held a license or registration. If either window passes without licensure, the pre-licensing education must be retaken before you can apply for a license again.
