New York Real Estate Continuing Education: 22.5 Hours

Most New York real-estate licensees currently need 22.5 CE hours with mandatory topic categories; first-term salesperson agency hours differ.

Reviewed 19 August 20261 primary/official source linked

New York real-estate salesperson licenses have a two-year term, and most renewing licensees currently use a 22.5-hour continuing-education baseline with mandatory topic components.

Do not plan only to the 22.5-hour total

The New York requirement includes mandatory subject areas. A course bundle can reach the total while still missing a required topic.

First-term rules can differ

New licensees can have agency-related education requirements that differ from later renewals, so check the Department of State instructions for the term you are renewing.

Use approved providers and keep proof

Confirm the provider is approved for New York real-estate continuing education and retain completion records until you are satisfied the renewal is accepted.
