Not the right fit if You aren't applying in Montana, or you need the 4 hours of approved training itself. Why it is different - Confirms Montana's training and exam rules from the Secretary of State's own pages. - Lists what never goes in a Montana journal, such as passport numbers and birth dates. - Covers continuing education for renewals, not just the first commission.
