What Nevada requires for Real Estate renewal

CE hours required36 hours per cycle
Renewal cycle24 months
Governing bodyNevada Real Estate Division (NRED), Nevada Department of Business & Industry

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).
