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.
