Montana does NOT require state-specific education. This means that you only need to take the standard NMLS 8-hour continuing education course. All license renewal education must be completed by December 31.
Each state has its own license renewal requirements. If you are licensed in other states, check with each state to learn if you need to take any state-specific elective courses. See the NMLS education chart for details. MLOs that hold multiple licenses often take our 7-Hour SAFE Core CE Course and then the individual electives for each state they need.
