Continuing-education requirements for Real Estates in Nebraska

Active licensees must complete 18 clock hours of education every two-year renewal period. Of these, at least 12 hours must be Commission-approved continuing education (CE) activities, and within that, at least 6 hours must be in designated subject matter courses (those carrying an 'R' in the course number, e.g. mandatory law/regulatory updates). The remaining up to 6 hours may be satisfied via Commission-approved Training activities. Additional topic-specific rules apply: 3 hours of property management CE per period if providing those services; team/leadership requirements (3 hours within 180 days of becoming a team member/leader/supervising broker, plus course 1000R every four years). Standard (non-R) CE may not be duplicated within 4 years; R courses may repeat in subsequent periods but not within the same period. The 18-hour requirement applies to all active licensees with no separate stated first-renewal post-licensing distinction.
