Continuing-education requirements for Real Estates in Nevada

For ongoing (subsequent, 2-year) renewals an active salesperson must complete 36 hours of continuing education: 3 hours Agency, 6 hours Contracts, 3 hours Ethics, 3 hours Law & Legislation, 3 hours Risk Reduction, and 18 hours General. At least 18 of the 36 hours must be taken via live instruction, and proof of completion must be submitted to the Division. The FIRST renewal differs: it requires 30 hours of post-licensing education (modules A-O) rather than the 36-hour CE package (unless the licensee qualifies for an exemption under NAC 645.4442(2), e.g., licensure history in another state, in which case the 36-hour CE breakdown applies). Permit holders add hours (Business Broker permit +3; Property Management permit +9). Licensees 65+ who have been Nevada-licensed in good standing for 30+ years may apply for a reduced CE requirement (3 Agency, 3 Law & Legislation, 3 Contracts, 3 Ethics; at least 50% live).

Good to know: Governing body is the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED) under the Department of Business & Industry. Renewal fee of $195 is the same for first and subsequent salesperson renewals (Form 580); it does not include the cost of CE/post-licensing courses, which are purchased from Division-approved providers. Cycle nuance: the very first license term is one year, the first renewal extends it, and standard ongoing renewals are 2 years (24 months) -- so the "24-month cycle" reflects the recurring/steady-state period. No late/reinstatement fee was published on the salesperson renewal pages reviewed. The Division does not appear to use CE Broker; proof of CE must be submitted directly to NRED. Online renewal is available for active or inactive licenses starting 45 days before expiration, but not for expired licenses or for inactive-to-active status changes. Requirements shown apply to licenses expiring on or after October 31, 2021.
