Is ceASAP a Nevada Real Estate Division approved continuing education provider?

Yes. ceASAP.com is a trusted continuing education provider approved by the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED). Every course we offer carries its own NRED-assigned CE number, confirming it meets state standards. You can view all currently approved NRED education courses and providers at red.nv.gov.

How does ceASAP structure their 36-Hour CE packages?

We believe continuing education shouldn't be complicated. ceASAP offers multiple 36-hour packages designed to match your license type and any special permits you hold:

By license type

  • Salesperson — meets all renewal requirements for licensed salespersons
  • Broker-Salesperson — includes the 6-hour Broker Management requirement
  • Broker — includes the 6-hour Broker Management requirement

By special permit

  • Property Management — includes the 9 hours of permit-specific CE required for PM permit holders
  • Business Broker — includes the 3 hours of permit-specific CE required for Business Broker permit holders
Holding multiple permits? We also offer combo packages that combine your license type with one or more special permits in a single 36-hour package — so you don't have to piece things together yourself.

Every package combines self-paced internet CE (up to NRED's 18-hour cap) with Live/Zoom courses to satisfy the live instruction requirement — covering all six required CORE topics (Agency, Ethics, Law, Risk Reduction, Contracts) plus your General CE.

My Nevada real estate license expires this month and I haven't started my CE. Can I finish all 36 hours in time?

Yes — we've got you covered.

Pick the 36-hour package that matches your license type and any special permits you hold (Salesperson, Broker-Salesperson, Broker, Property Management, Business Broker, or a combo). Every package includes Live/Zoom classes and self-paced internet courses covering all required Core topics — Agency, Ethics, Law, Risk Reduction, and Contracts — and you can finish everything in as little as one week.

Note: Licensees who are 65 or older with 30+ years of Nevada licensure in good standing may qualify for a reduced 12-hour CE requirement — see "Do I qualify for the 65+/30-year CE exemption?" below.
Do I qualify for the 65+/30-year CE exemption?

If you're 65 years or older AND have held a Nevada real estate license in good standing for 30 years or more, you may apply to NRED for an exemption that reduces your CE requirement from the standard 36 hours to just 12 hours per renewal cycle.

The 12 required hours

  • 3 hours Agency
  • 3 hours Ethics
  • 3 hours Law & Legislation
  • 3 hours Contracts

At least 50% of the required hours must be completed through live instruction (in-person or Zoom).

Permit holders still complete full permit CE

  • Business Broker permit: 3 hours of Business Broker CE
  • Property Management permit: 9 hours of Property Management CE
How to apply This exemption isn't automatic — you must apply to NRED to have it recognized. Contact NRED at red.nv.gov for the current application process.

Need a custom 12-hour package? Once your exemption is approved, email us at Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll build the right package for you. Your ceVault dashboard will also automatically adjust to track your reduced requirements once your exemption is on file.

What's the difference between classroom, live, internet, and live-streamed (Zoom) education?

NRED defines live (classroom) instruction as teaching that happens either in person (instructor and students in the same room) or online through platforms like Zoom that allow real-time interaction (you can see, hear, and talk with the instructor). Sometimes a mix of in-person and online methods is used.

Internet (self-paced) CE is online coursework you complete on your own schedule. NRED caps this at 18 hours per renewal period, which can include required Core topics (Ethics, Law, Contracts, Agency, Risk Reduction), General CE, and even certain Special Permit and broker-specific courses. Because of the 18-hour cap, it's important to keep careful records of how each course was completed — and your ceVault dashboard tracks the cap for you automatically.

ceASAP's 36-hour packages combine both formats to make the renewal process simple and stress-free.

What makes ceASAP different from other Nevada CE providers?

ceASAP is built around two ideas that set us apart from larger national providers:

  • Real interaction in Live/Zoom CE. Our Live/Zoom sessions are taught in real time by Nevada experts with full Q&A, breakout discussion, and on-camera engagement — meeting (and often exceeding) NRED's standards for live instruction. They are not pre-recorded videos repackaged as "live."
  • ceVault — built-in compliance tracking. Every ceASAP account includes free access to ceVault, your personal Nevada CE compliance dashboard. It tracks every course you complete (including certificates from other Nevada-approved providers you upload), monitors your hour caps by category, alerts you to the 18-hour internet limit, supports permit-specific tracking (Property Management, Business Broker) and Broker Management tracking, and generates a downloadable CE Portfolio PDF for renewal. Most competitors offer a basic certificate folder. ceVault is a complete compliance system.

Add to that instant certificate delivery and Chloe — our 24/7 AI assistant — backed by same-day human support, and you have a CE experience designed for working Nevada real estate professionals.

My Account

How do I create an account?

Visit www.ceasap.com and click "Register" (or go directly to ceasap.com/registration). Enter your full name (exactly as it appears on your real estate license), email, phone number, license number, and a secure password. Double-check your details — they'll appear on every completion certificate.

Can I register without having my real estate license number?

Yes, you can register without one, but we'll need your license number to track your completed courses and report them to state regulators. If you don't have your license or license number yet, check with your local licensing office. Once you receive it, log in and add it to your account.

Why didn't I receive a confirmation email after registering?

First, check your spam or junk folder for an email from either Contact@ceASAP.com or ce@ceASAP.com — confirmation emails are sometimes filtered there. If you find one, mark it as "not spam" so future emails from ceASAP arrive in your inbox.

If it's not in your spam folder, double-check that you entered the correct email address during registration. Still no luck? Reach out to us at Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll help.

I forgot my password. How can I reset it?

Click "Forgot Password?" on the Login page and follow the prompts. We'll send a reset link to your registered email — be sure to check your spam folder if you don't see it within a few minutes.

How do I update my real estate license information?

Log in, head to "My Profile" or "Account Settings," and update your information. Keep your license number and contact details current — they're tied to your completion certificates and our reporting to NRED.

My name or license number is incorrect on my completion certificate. How can I get it corrected?

If your name or license number is wrong on a completion certificate, the fix is in your account profile:

  1. Log in and update your information in "My Profile" or "Account Settings" — make sure your name appears exactly as it does on your real estate license, and that your license number is current.
  2. Your completion certificates will automatically update to reflect the corrected information once your account profile is saved.

This is the standard fix for common situations like upgrading from Salesperson to Broker-Salesperson (which issues a new license number), correcting a typo, or updating a legal name change.

Still see an issue after updating? Email Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll take a look.

Can I view my course history?

Yes. Log in and visit your My ceVault dashboard. ceVault stores a complete record of every course you've completed, your CE certificates (downloadable as PDFs), and your CE activity organized by renewal cycle.

Note: ceVault is for tracking completed CE and your compliance status. To launch or resume courses you're currently enrolled in, use "My Courses" at the top of the page above the main menu.

My ceVault CE Tracking

What is ceVault and how does it help me?

ceVault is your personal Nevada CE compliance dashboard — a free tool built into every ceASAP account that automatically tracks every course you complete, monitors your renewal requirements category by category, and keeps your license renewal on track.

Every course you complete through ceASAP is synced to ceVault instantly — certificates are captured automatically and your compliance totals update in real time. And if you've taken CE with another Nevada-approved provider, you can upload those certificates to ceVault too, so all of your hours live in one place.

Some of what ceVault does for you:

  • Live compliance gauge showing exactly how many hours you have in each required category (Agency, Ethics, Law, Contracts, Risk Reduction, General, plus permit-specific hours for Property Management and Business Broker, and Broker Management hours for Brokers and Broker-Salespersons) and what you still need.
  • Internet hour cap tracking — Nevada limits self-paced internet CE to 18 hours, and ceVault warns you before you exceed it.
  • Renewal countdown showing days remaining in your current renewal cycle.
  • Automatic adjustments for the 65+/30-year age & experience exemption and for first-year Post-Licensing requirements — ceVault recognizes your situation and tracks the right requirements automatically.
  • CE Portfolio PDF — a downloadable, professionally formatted compliance report with all your certificates merged into one organized document, ready to submit to NRED.

ceVault is free to all Nevada real estate licensees with a ceASAP account. Log in at ceasap.com/cevault to access your dashboard.

Can I upload certificates from other CE providers into ceVault?

Yes. ceVault is designed to give you one complete picture of all your Nevada CE, regardless of who provided the course. If you've completed CE with another Nevada-approved provider, simply upload the certificate to your ceVault dashboard and those hours will be counted toward your compliance totals — categorized correctly by topic (Agency, Ethics, Law, Contracts, Risk Reduction, General, or permit-specific hours) and reflected in your live compliance gauge.

When it's time to renew, your downloadable CE Portfolio PDF includes everything — courses completed through ceASAP plus the certificates you've uploaded from other providers — all in one organized document.

What is the CE Portfolio PDF, and how do I use it for my renewal?

The CE Portfolio PDF is a downloadable, professionally formatted compliance report you can generate from your ceVault dashboard at any time. It combines:

  • A comprehensive compliance summary showing your hours by category (Agency, Ethics, Law, Contracts, Risk Reduction, General, and any permit-specific requirements)
  • All completion certificates from ceASAP courses, automatically captured as you complete them
  • Any certificates you've uploaded from other Nevada-approved providers

Everything is organized into one clean PDF — perfect for submitting to NRED at renewal time, sharing with your broker, or keeping as your personal record in case of an audit. Instead of hunting down individual certificates from multiple providers or email folders, you have one document that tells the complete story of your CE for the cycle.

How does ceVault help me stay within Nevada's 18-hour internet CE limit?

Nevada caps self-paced internet CE at 18 hours per two-year renewal cycle — and exceeding that cap means those extra hours won't count toward your renewal. ceVault watches the cap for you automatically.

As you complete or upload self-paced internet courses, ceVault tracks your running total in real time and warns you before you cross the 18-hour line. The compliance gauge shows your internet hours separately from your live (in-person or Zoom) hours, so at a glance you can see whether your remaining requirements need to come from live instruction instead.

It's the kind of compliance detail that's easy to miss when you're managing certificates manually — and exactly the kind of thing ceVault was built to handle.

Does ceVault track CE for special permits (Property Management, Business Broker) and Broker Management?

Yes. ceVault fully supports the permit-specific and license-type-specific CE requirements that come with certain Nevada licenses — and applies NRED's overlap rule automatically so you're not double-counting:

  • Property Management permit — 9 hours of PM-specific CE per renewal
  • Business Broker permit — 3 hours of Business Broker CE per renewal
  • Broker Management — 6 hours required for brokers and broker-salespersons

Each of these is tracked as its own category in your ceVault dashboard, so you can see exactly how much you've completed and how much you still need. The live compliance gauge shows your permit/management hours separately from your Core and General CE — no math required on your part.

Here's the part that saves a lot of headaches: under NRED rules, your permit and management hours can also count toward your General CE requirement. For example, if you complete 9 hours of Property Management CE, ceVault will satisfy your 9-hour PM permit requirement and apply those same hours toward reducing your 18-hour General CE total — automatically. You won't have to manually figure out which courses double-count or worry about over-enrolling.

When you generate your CE Portfolio PDF at renewal time, your permit hours are clearly documented so NRED can verify compliance for both your license and your permit(s) in one submission.

Does ceVault track Post-License and 65+ exempt education too?

Yes. ceVault adapts to your specific education requirement — whether you're a brand-new licensee, a standard renewal candidate, or qualify for the senior exemption. You can adjust your active requirement type in the settings section on your ceVault page at any time.

Three education tracks ceVault supports

  • 30-Hour Post-License Education — for first-year licensees completing their initial 12-month requirement under NAC 645.4442 (live instruction only)
  • 36-Hour Standard CE — for ongoing two-year renewal cycles (most licensees)
  • 12-Hour 65+/30-Year Exempt CE — for licensees who have applied to NRED and received an approved exemption (3 Agency + 3 Ethics + 3 Law & Legislation + 3 Contracts, with at least 50% live)

Each track has its own category breakdown and progress gauge, so you always see the right requirements for your situation — no manual math, no confusion about whether internet caps or permit hours apply.

Tip: If your education needs change — for example, you complete Post-License and move to standard CE, or you receive your 65+/30-year exemption approval from NRED — update your active track in the settings section on your ceVault page and the dashboard will adjust automatically.

Internet / Self-Paced CE Enrollment

How do I enroll in a course?

Browse our self-paced catalog at ceasap.com/ce-courses, add the course (or our 18-Hr Internet CE Package) to your cart, and check out. Your courses appear in My Courses (top of the page above the main menu) immediately — start whenever you're ready.

Can I take multiple internet CE courses in a single day?

Yes — up to a limit. The Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED) restricts licensees to a maximum of four (4) self-paced internet CE courses per day. Within that limit, you can complete courses back-to-back whenever you have time.

Important — this limit applies ONLY to self-paced internet courses
  • Self-paced internet daily limit: No more than 4 internet CE courses per day (NRED rule).
  • Live/Zoom courses are NOT counted toward this 4-course daily limit. You can attend multiple Live/Zoom sessions on the same day in addition to your 4 internet courses.
  • Per-cycle cap: NRED also caps total internet/self-paced CE at 18 hours per renewal period. The remaining 18 hours toward your 36-hour renewal must come from live or live-streamed (Zoom) instruction.
Your ceVault dashboard tracks both limits automatically — daily self-paced count and the 18-hour cycle cap — so you don't accidentally exceed either one.
Does the 4-course-per-day limit apply to Live/Zoom CE courses too?

No. The NRED 4-course-per-day rule applies only to self-paced internet CE courses. There is no daily cap on Live/Zoom CE courses.

This means a single day could look like:

  • Up to 4 self-paced internet courses (NRED maximum for that format), plus
  • Multiple Live/Zoom CE sessions — as many as you can fit into your schedule (since they run in real time and don't overlap)

So a motivated licensee could realistically complete 4 self-paced internet courses (12 hours) plus 3 or 4 Live/Zoom sessions (9–12 hours) in a single day, and NRED will accept all of those hours toward renewal.

Why the difference? NRED imposes the 4-course daily cap on self-paced internet education because those courses can be completed in rapid succession without instructor oversight. Live/Zoom courses are instructor-led, run in real time, and require active on-camera engagement, so NRED treats them like in-person classroom hours and doesn't cap how many you can attend in a day.

The only practical limits on Live/Zoom hours per day are:

  • Sessions can't overlap — you can only attend one Live/Zoom course at a time
  • You must meet all the Live/Zoom attendance requirements for each session (camera on, full attendance, full engagement, etc.)

If you're racing a renewal deadline, this combination of formats is the fastest legal path to completing your 36 hours.

Will my CE courses expire if I don't complete them?

Yes. Self-paced internet courses must be completed within 180 days from the date of purchase. Stay on track to avoid issues with your license renewal. For Live/Zoom courses, attendance is required at the scheduled time — if you don't show up, you won't receive credit.

Live / Zoom CE Enrollment

How do I enroll in a course?

Visit the Live/Zoom Course Calendar, pick a session that fits your schedule, and complete checkout. You'll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link, plus automated reminders before the course start time.

If I can't make a scheduled Live/Zoom CE course, can I reschedule it in advance?

Yes — and it's easy. You can reschedule up to one hour before the course is scheduled to begin. Log in, find the course under your registered courses, click the "Reschedule" button, and follow the on-screen instructions. Remember to update your personal calendar with the new date and time.

Can I take multiple courses at the same time?

No. Live/Zoom courses run in real time and require active attendance for NRED credit, so you can't attend two simultaneous live sessions. You can, however, enroll in multiple Live/Zoom sessions on different dates — and pair Live/Zoom courses with self-paced internet courses on the same day. There's no daily cap on Live/Zoom hours; the only daily cap is the 4-course maximum on self-paced internet CE (see the question above).

Are your Live/Zoom courses approved by the Nevada Real Estate Division?

Yes. Every Live/Zoom course is approved by NRED and carries its own NRED course number. NRED specifically recognizes live-streamed instruction (e.g., Zoom) as equivalent to in-person classroom education for license renewal purposes.

What is the refund policy for Live/Zoom courses?

Refund or cancellation requests must be submitted at least one hour before the scheduled start time. This applies to all live sessions, whether in person or via Zoom. Email Contact@ceASAP.com with subject line "Refund Request" and include your full name, registered email, course name, purchase date, and reason. Full details: ceasap.com/refund-policies.

Can I complete my Property Management, Business Broker, or Broker Management CE through self-paced online courses?

Yes. NRED allows you to fulfill these CE requirements through online self-paced learning, live-streamed sessions, in-person classes, or a combination of formats. ceASAP offers specialized self-paced internet courses for each — and most licensees don't realize these hours can do double duty in your 36-hour cycle.

Permit-specific CE

  • Property Management permit — 9 hours of PM CE per renewal
  • Business Broker permit — 3 hours of Business Broker CE per renewal

License-type-specific CE (for Brokers and Broker-Salespersons)

  • Broker Management — 6 hours per renewal
The overlap that saves you hours

Under NRED rules, your permit-specific CE and Broker Management hours can also count toward your 18-hour General CE requirement — so you're not stacking these on top of a full 36 hours, you're using them to satisfy multiple requirements at once.

Example 1 — Property Management permit holder: You complete 9 hours of Property Management CE. Those 9 hours satisfy your PM permit requirement AND count toward 9 of the 18 General CE hours in your 36-hour cycle. You only need 9 more General CE hours to finish out the cycle.

Example 2 — Broker with Broker Management: You complete 6 hours of Broker Management CE. Those 6 hours satisfy your Broker Management requirement AND count toward 6 of the 18 General CE hours. You only need 12 more General CE hours.

Your ceVault dashboard applies this overlap automatically — you'll see the same hours credited to both categories without having to do any manual math.

Browse all CE courses →

Are your Live/Zoom sessions truly instructor-led, with real-time Q&A?

Yes — they're the real thing. Every ceASAP Live/Zoom session is taught in real time by a Nevada real estate expert, not a pre-recorded video. You'll be on camera with your instructor and your classmates, and you're encouraged to ask questions, share scenarios from your own practice, and participate in discussions throughout the session.

A few things worth knowing about how our Live/Zoom sessions run:

  • You must be visually on camera and engaged for the full session to receive NRED credit. This is an NRED requirement for live-streamed instruction, not just a ceASAP rule (see the next question for the full requirements).
  • Instructors are practicing Nevada real estate professionals — visit our Our Experts page to meet the people teaching your courses.
  • Q&A is built into every class, and instructors frequently use audience questions to shape the discussion.

If you want the convenience of online learning without giving up the interaction and accountability of a real classroom, our Live/Zoom format is built exactly for that.

What are the requirements to receive credit for a Live/Zoom CE session?

NRED treats Live/Zoom sessions as equivalent to in-person classroom instruction, and the attendance rules are strict. These rules are codified in Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 645.4438, which sets out the conditions for receiving a certificate of completion and being included on the roster of attendees.

NRED's guiding principle: if you wouldn't be allowed to do it in a physical classroom, you can't do it on Zoom.

To receive credit, you must meet all of the following requirements:

Identity & registration

  • Join under your full legal name as it appears on your real estate license — this is how attendance is recorded and how your certificate is issued.
  • Display your name (and license number, if requested) in your Zoom display name and/or in the chat at the start of class. If the instructor or proctor cannot confirm your identity, you will not receive credit.
  • Use your own account — only the registered student can attend; sharing access with another licensee is not permitted.

Camera & visibility

  • Your video must be on for the entire session — start to finish, no exceptions. Attendees who turn their video off will be removed from class.
  • Your entire face must be clearly visible to the camera at all times.
  • No hats, dark sunglasses, masks, or anything that obscures your face.
  • Ensure adequate lighting so your face is clearly visible on camera.
  • Avoid virtual backgrounds — they can interfere with the proctor's ability to verify your presence and may disqualify your attendance.
  • Position your camera so your full face is in frame; profile photos, black screens, and avatars do not satisfy this requirement.

Engagement & conduct (per NAC 645.4438)

  • Direct your attention to the instruction — under NAC 645.4438(1)(a), students must focus on the material being taught and refrain from engaging in activities unrelated to the instruction.
  • No distracting or disruptive behavior — under NAC 645.4438(1)(b), students must refrain from activities that distract other students or the instructor, including the use of cellular phones, laptops, tablets, or other electronic devices for purposes unrelated to the class.
  • Be actively engaged the entire time. You must be present at your device, attentive, and ready to respond when the instructor checks in or asks the class a question.
  • Respond when called on. Instructors will ask questions throughout the session, and you must be able to answer in real time to confirm your engagement.
  • Stay in one location. You should be seated in a quiet, focused environment — the same standards that would apply to a physical classroom.
  • No driving a vehicle. Attending a Live/Zoom class while operating a motor vehicle is strictly prohibited by NRED and is unsafe. If you are seen driving during a session, you will be removed from class and will not receive credit.
  • No multitasking with work or personal activities that would distract from the class — no taking client calls, running showings, doing paperwork, watching other content, etc. Treating the session as background audio is not permitted.

Attendance

  • Attend the full session. Arriving late or leaving early generally disqualifies you from credit, even if it's only a few minutes. If you know in advance you can't make the full session, reschedule up to one hour before the scheduled start.
  • 15-minute absence limit. You may not be absent from class for more than 15 minutes of total live course time. Exceeding this limit forfeits your credit for the session. Instructors monitor attendance throughout the class and enforce this requirement strictly — NRED does not allow partial credit for live sessions.
  • No partial credit. Missing even a portion of the class means no credit for the session.

Technical setup

  • Use a device with a working camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection. A wired connection or strong Wi-Fi is recommended.
  • Have a backup plan — phone hotspot, alternate device — in case of a connection issue. Extended disconnections can disqualify your attendance.

These aren't ceASAP's rules — they're NRED's standards for live-streamed CE, and we follow them so your credit is never in question. If a genuine technical issue prevents you from meeting these requirements mid-session (camera failure, prolonged outage, etc.), contact us right away at Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll help you reschedule.

Nevada License Renewal Requirements

What are the continuing education requirements for Nevada license renewal?

Most Nevada salespersons, broker-salespersons, and brokers must complete 36 hours of approved CE every two years. Up to 18 hours may be self-paced internet CE; the remaining 18 hours must be live (in-person or live-streamed via Zoom). Special permits (Property Management, Business Broker) and Broker Management have specific topic requirements — and those hours can count toward your General CE under NRED's overlap rule (see "What extra courses do I need if I have a permit?" below).

How many hours of CE do I need to complete?

The standard requirement is 36 hours per two-year renewal cycle. The exact number depends on:

  • Your license type (Salesperson, Broker-Salesperson, or Broker)
  • Any special permits attached to your license (Property Management, Business Broker, etc.)

Licensees who are 65 or older and have held a Nevada license for more than 30 years may qualify for a reduced requirement. Check NRED's renewal page to confirm eligibility — and if you qualify, your ceVault dashboard will automatically adjust to track your reduced category totals.

What CE do I need for my specific license type and permits?

The exact CE requirement depends on your license type (Salesperson, Broker-Salesperson, Broker), any special permits you hold (Property Management, Business Broker), your renewal stage (first renewal vs. subsequent), and whether you qualify for any exemptions (65+/30-year). With so many variables, it's easy to over-complicate or miss something.

The fastest way to find your exact requirements: ask Chloe.

Chloe — our 24/7 AI assistant in the lower-right corner of every page on ceasap.com — is built to walk you through your specific situation. Just tell her your license type, any permits you hold, and your renewal stage, and she'll give you a complete breakdown of exactly what CE you need to renew — and recommend the right ceASAP package to fulfill those requirements.

What Chloe can help with

  • Calculate your exact hour breakdown based on license type, permits, and renewal stage
  • Identify which Core, General, permit-specific, and Broker Management hours apply
  • Apply NRED's overlap rule so you're not over-counting hours
  • Adjust for first-renewal Post-License or 65+/30-year exemption scenarios
  • Recommend the right ceASAP package and link you straight to checkout
  • Answer follow-up questions about Live/Zoom scheduling, self-paced timing, certificate delivery, and more

What topics are required for renewal?

Nevada has three different topic requirements depending on your renewal stage and whether you qualify for the senior exemption. Make sure you're following the right one.

Standard CE renewal (most licensees — 36 hours every two years)

NRED requires 18 hours of "Core" CE broken down as follows:

  • 3 hours of Agency
  • 3 hours of Ethics
  • 3 hours of Law (Nevada law)
  • 3 hours of Risk Reduction
  • 6 hours of Contracts

The remaining 18 hours are General CE — any NRED-approved topic. Your permit-specific or Broker Management hours can count toward this 18 under the overlap rule (see "What extra courses do I need if I have a permit?" below).

First-year Post-License education (new licensees — 30 hours, live only)

If this is your first renewal, you complete the 30-hour Post-License curriculum instead of standard CE — through live instruction (in-person or Zoom) within your first 12 months of licensure. The Post-License curriculum covers different topics than standard CE and is mandated under NAC 645.4442. (See "What is Post-License education?" later in this section for details.)

65+ / 30-Year exemption (12 hours total)

If you're 65 or older AND have held a Nevada license in good standing for 30+ years, you may apply to NRED for a reduced 12-hour requirement:

  • 3 hours of Agency
  • 3 hours of Ethics
  • 3 hours of Law & Legislation
  • 3 hours of Contracts

At least 50% must be completed through live instruction. Permit holders still complete their full permit-specific CE (Property Management: 9 hours; Business Broker: 3 hours). (See "Do I qualify for the 65+/30-year CE exemption?" in Section 1 for the full exemption details.)

ceVault tracks the right requirement for your situation. Your ceVault dashboard automatically applies the correct topic breakdown — Standard CE, Post-License, or 65+ Exempt — once you set your active education track in the settings section on your ceVault page.
What extra courses do I need if I have a Property Management or Business Broker permit (or hold a Broker license)?

Certain Nevada licenses and permits come with topic-specific CE requirements within the standard 36-hour cycle — not on top of it. Here's what applies:

Permit-specific CE

  • Property Management permit: 9 hours of PM CE per renewal
  • Business Broker permit: 3 hours of Business Broker CE per renewal

License-type-specific CE

  • Broker Management: 6 hours required for Brokers and Broker-Salespersons
The overlap rule — these hours do double duty

Under NRED rules, your permit-specific CE and Broker Management hours can also count toward your 18-hour General CE requirement. You're not adding hours on top of 36 — you're using them to satisfy multiple requirements at once.

Example 1 — Property Management permit holder: 9 hours of PM CE satisfies your PM permit requirement AND covers 9 of the 18 General CE hours. You only need 9 more General CE hours.

Example 2 — Broker with Broker Management: 6 hours of Broker Management CE satisfies your Broker Management requirement AND covers 6 of the 18 General CE hours. You only need 12 more General CE hours.

Your ceVault dashboard applies the overlap automatically so you don't have to do the math — the same hours are credited to both categories without any manual effort on your part.

Can I retake the same type of CE course and still earn credits?

Yes — but with one important rule. You can take additional courses on the same topic within a renewal period, but you cannot take the exact same course (same NRED course number) twice in the same renewal cycle and earn credit for both.

The differentiator is the NRED course number, not the topic. Two courses on the same subject — like Ethics — are treated as separate courses if they have different NRED course numbers, even if they cover similar content.

Example — combining a self-paced and a live Ethics course

Say you complete:

  • Course A: A 3-hour self-paced internet Ethics course (NRED course #XXXX-1)
  • Course B: A 3-hour live Zoom Ethics course (NRED course #XXXX-2)

Because these are two different NRED course numbers, both count for credit — for a total of 6 Ethics hours in your renewal cycle. The first 3 hours satisfy your Core Ethics requirement, and the additional 3 hours count toward your General CE.

What you can't do: Take the same 3-hour Ethics course (same NRED course number) twice in the same renewal cycle. NRED will only credit you once, even if you complete it twice — the second attempt has no effect on your renewal.

Across renewal cycles is a different story: the same NRED course can be retaken in a future renewal period (see "Can I take the same CE course again in a future renewal period?").

Can I take the same CE course again in a future renewal period?

Yes. The Nevada Real Estate Division allows you to retake the same course for CE credit in a future renewal period — you just can't take it twice within the same renewal cycle.

How NRED tracks it

NRED identifies each course by a unique NRED-issued course number (you'll see it on every certificate and course listing). The rule is tied to that number:

  • ✅ An NRED course number applied to one renewal cycle can be applied again toward a later cycle
  • ❌ An NRED course number cannot be used twice within the same renewal cycle
Example

You complete a 3-hour Risk Reduction course (NRED #1234) in your 2024–2026 renewal cycle.

You can take that same Risk Reduction course (#1234) again in your 2026–2028 cycle and receive credit for both — they count toward different renewal periods.

What this means for you

ceASAP's catalog refreshes regularly with new and updated course offerings, so most licensees have a mix of new and returning courses available each cycle. If you'd like to repeat a course you've taken before, simply enroll again when your new cycle begins.

Pro tip: Before submitting your certificates to NRED at renewal time, double-check that no two certificates share the same NRED course number within the same cycle. Duplicates won't count, and submitting them could delay your renewal.
Can I carry over extra CE hours to my next renewal period?

No. Nevada does not allow CE hours to be carried over from one renewal cycle to the next. Every two-year renewal period starts fresh, and you must complete the full 36 hours (or the applicable amount for your license type and permits) within that specific cycle for the hours to count.

Hours you complete after your renewal date apply to your next renewal — not the one you just submitted. And while you're always welcome to take additional courses for professional growth within a cycle, extra hours won't reduce your obligation for the next one. When your next renewal period begins, ceASAP will be here with fresh 36-hour packages to make staying compliant simple.

As a REALTOR®, do your Ethics courses meet my Code of Ethics training requirement?

Yes.

Important: this requirement is for REALTOR® members only.

Not every Nevada real estate licensee is a REALTOR®. The Code of Ethics training requirement is a National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) membership requirement, not a Nevada state requirement. Only licensees who are NAR members (REALTORS®) need to complete it. If you're a Nevada licensee who is not a member of NAR, this requirement does not apply to you — your standard Nevada Ethics CE under NRED is sufficient for license renewal.

For REALTOR® members

Every Ethics course in the ceASAP catalog satisfies both:

  • Nevada Real Estate Division's Ethics CE requirement (3 hours every two years)
  • NAR's Code of Ethics training requirement

One course satisfies both — no separate enrollment, no duplicate coursework, no extra fees. Your ceASAP Ethics certificate is acceptable proof for both NRED renewal and your local REALTOR® association.

How NAR's requirement works

NAR requires REALTORS® to complete ethics training in three-year cycles. Because Nevada CE rules require 3 hours of Ethics every two years, completing your Nevada Ethics CE through ceASAP automatically keeps you ahead of NAR's three-year cycle. For the official NAR requirements, visit the NAR Code of Ethics Training Requirements page.

How to complete your Code of Ethics training

Completing the ceASAP Ethics course is only the first step — the training is not "officially complete" until your REALTOR® association has the certificate on file. To finish the process:

  1. Download your completion certificate from ceASAP after finishing your Ethics course (instant on the course page, in your email, or in your ceVault dashboard).
  2. Submit the certificate to your local REALTOR® association. Each association handles intake slightly differently — some accept email submission, others require uploads through a member portal, and some prefer in-person or mailed copies.
  3. Confirm with your association that the certificate has been recorded against your training cycle.
Check with your REALTOR® association for the proper submission procedures. Submission methods vary by association, so don't assume — contact them directly to make sure your training counts.

Verify your current REALTOR® training status

NAR members can verify their current ethics training cycle and completion status in their NAR account at nar.realtor/my-account#term-My-Education.

As a REALTOR®, do your Fair Housing courses meet the NAR Fair Housing training requirement?
Important: this requirement is for REALTOR® members only.

The NAR Fair Housing training requirement applies only to REALTOR® members. It is a National Association of REALTORS® membership requirement, not a Nevada state requirement. If you're a Nevada licensee who is not a member of NAR, this requirement does not apply to you — your standard Nevada CE under NRED is sufficient for license renewal.

The NAR Fair Housing requirement

As of January 2025, NAR requires all REALTOR® members to complete a Fair Housing training course every three years, aligned with the NAR Code of Ethics training cycle. The first cycle runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. Courses completed before January 1, 2025 do not count toward this requirement.

Failure to complete the requirement may result in suspension or termination of NAR membership.

ceASAP Fair Housing courses

ceASAP is currently developing Fair Housing courses designed to meet the NAR Fair Housing training requirement. Once available, completing a qualifying ceASAP course will satisfy both your Nevada CE requirement (where applicable) and your NAR Fair Housing training requirement — similar to how our Ethics courses satisfy both NRED and NAR Code of Ethics requirements.

Until our Fair Housing offering launches, REALTOR® members should use one of NAR's currently approved options to satisfy the requirement.

NAR-approved options available now

  • Free online courses through NAR at nar.realtor/education
  • In-person or live classes through your local REALTOR® association (Las Vegas REALTORS®, Sierra Nevada REALTORS®, etc.)
  • Classes through Nevada REALTORS® (state association)
  • NAR's Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) Certification Program — completing C2EX satisfies both the Code of Ethics and Fair Housing requirements for the current cycle

How to complete the requirement

The process is similar to the Code of Ethics requirement:

  1. Complete a qualifying Fair Housing course through NAR, your local REALTOR® association, Nevada REALTORS®, or another NAR-approved provider.
  2. Submit your certificate of completion to your local REALTOR® association. Submission methods vary — some accept email, others require uploads through a member portal.
  3. Confirm with your association that the certificate has been recorded against your Fair Housing training cycle.

Check with your REALTOR® association for the proper submission procedures.

Verify your current REALTOR® training status

NAR members can verify their Fair Housing training cycle status at nar.realtor/my-account#term-My-Education. For full NAR Fair Housing requirement details, visit the NAR Fair Housing Requirement page.

What is Post-License education, and does ceASAP offer it?

What it is: If you've just received your initial Nevada real estate license, NRED requires 30 hours of Post-License education completed through live instruction within the first 12 months of licensure (per NAC 645.4442). Post-License is separate from — and replaces — the standard 36-hour CE requirement for your first renewal. It's designed to give brand-new licensees the practical, foundational training needed to launch a successful career.

How it works

  • Who needs it: First-time licensees only (salesperson, broker-salesperson, or broker).
  • When: Within the first 12 months after your initial license is issued. Your first license is valid for one year (not the usual two), and Post-License must be complete before your first renewal.
  • Format: Must be completed through live instruction — in-person or live-streamed (e.g., Zoom). Self-paced internet courses are not permitted for the 30-hour Post-License requirement.
  • What's next: Once you complete Post-License and renew for the first time, you move into the standard 36-hour CE cycle every two years — which is exactly what ceASAP's CE packages are built for.

Exemptions — Post-License does NOT apply if you:

Per NAC 645.4442(2), you're exempt from the 30-hour Post-License requirement if, on the date you obtained your Nevada license, you:

  1. Held an active real estate license issued by another U.S. state, territory, or the District of Columbia. Proof of out-of-state licensure (in the form of a license history) must be on file with NRED.
  2. Held a Nevada real estate salesperson, broker-salesperson, or broker license at any time within the 5 years immediately preceding your new Nevada license.
  3. Are licensed as a broker-salesperson and obtained your qualifications under subsection 4 of NRS 645.343.

If you qualify for one of these exemptions, you'll instead complete the standard 36 hours of continuing education for your first renewal (with at least 18 hours through live instruction). Verify your exemption status with NRED before relying on it — and confirm your license history is on file.

Does ceASAP offer Post-License?

Our Post-License program is currently in development. We're taking the time to build a curriculum that delivers the same quality and Nevada-specific focus our CE students count on, and we'll announce availability as soon as it's ready. In the meantime, we're happy to provide personalized Post-License guidance — reach out and we'll help you identify approved live courses and map out a plan to satisfy your 30-hour first-year requirement on time. Visit our POST Education page or email Contact@ceASAP.com.

If you qualify for an exemption, ceASAP has you fully covered — our 36-hour CE packages will satisfy your first renewal requirement, and your ceVault dashboard will track Post-Licensing-exempt status automatically.

What's the difference between my first license renewal and subsequent renewals?

Your first renewal is different from every renewal that follows — both in timing and in what's required.

First renewal (one year after initial licensure)

  • Your original Nevada real estate license is valid for one year, expiring at the end of your 12th month.
  • To renew, you must complete the 30-hour Post-License education through live instruction within that first year (see our Post-License FAQ above).
  • The standard 36-hour CE requirement does not apply to your first renewal — Post-License replaces it.
Exception: If you qualify for a Post-License exemption under NAC 645.4442(2) — for example, you held a real estate license in another U.S. state when you got your Nevada license, or you held a Nevada license within the previous 5 years — you'll complete 36 hours of standard CE for your first renewal instead of the 30-hour Post-License (with at least 18 hours through live instruction).

Subsequent renewals (every two years after that)

  • Your license is valid for two years, expiring at the end of the month in which you were originally licensed.
  • You must complete 36 hours of CE per renewal cycle:
    • 18 hours of Core CE (3 Agency, 3 Ethics, 3 Law, 3 Risk Reduction, 6 Contracts)
    • 18 hours of General CE (your permit-specific or Broker Management hours can count toward this 18, under NRED's overlap rule)
  • Up to 18 of those 36 hours can be self-paced internet CE; the remaining 18 must be live (in-person or Zoom).

Once you've completed your first renewal, you're on the standard two-year cycle for the rest of your career — and our 36-hour CE packages cover everything you need.

Are there specific deadlines for completing CE courses?

Yes. All CE must be completed before your license expiration date. Nevada licenses expire every two years on the last day of your birth month. You can verify your exact expiration date using NRED's License Lookup tool at red.nv.gov. We recommend finishing CE at least a few days before expiration so you have time to gather certificates and submit your renewal. Your ceVault dashboard includes a built-in renewal countdown so you always know exactly how many days remain in your current cycle.

Online Learning

How do I access my courses?

After logging in at ceasap.com/login, scroll to the top of the page above the main menu header and click "My Courses." This is where you'll find all of your enrolled CE courses — both self-paced internet and Live/Zoom — and where you'll launch them to start or resume your learning.

My Courses vs. My ceVault — what's the difference?
  • My Courses is where you go to take your courses. Launch a self-paced course, join a scheduled Live/Zoom session, or resume where you left off.
  • My ceVault is your compliance dashboard. Track your CE hours by category, monitor renewal progress, upload outside-provider certificates, and download your CE Portfolio PDF for renewal.

Both are available 24/7 once you're logged in.

Can I pause and resume a course?

Yes. Self-paced internet courses save your progress automatically — log out anytime and pick up where you left off when you return. Live/Zoom sessions must be attended in full and in real time for NRED credit.

Are self-paced internet courses timed? Do I have to spend a certain amount of time on each course?

Self-paced internet courses are flexible but governed by NRED's specific distance education rules under NAC 645.455. Here's what you need to know:

Pacing and time

You can complete a self-paced internet course at your own pace within the course's established time window. Under NAC 645.455(3)(c)(1)(IV), every approved distance education course has both a minimum and maximum time for completion. The minimum ensures you can't rush through the material; the maximum ensures the course is completed within a defined window. There is no minute-by-minute "seat time" requirement, but you can't skip ahead to the exam.

Every ceASAP self-paced internet course is developed to NRED's content standard of 3 hours of study material per 3-hour course — readings, videos, scenarios, and review questions sufficient to be worth the credit hours it carries.

To earn credit, you must complete all of the following

  1. Complete the entire course. Under NAC 645.455(3)(c)(1)(III), you cannot receive partial credit — only completed courses count.
  2. Pass a closed-book final exam with at least 75%. Under NAC 645.455(3)(c)(1)(I), every distance education course requires a closed-book final exam, and a score of 75% or higher is required to receive credit.
  3. Verify your identity before the exam. Under NAC 645.455(3)(c)(1)(II), your identity must be verified before you're allowed to take any examination. ceASAP handles this verification as part of the course flow.
  4. Complete the course evaluation. A course/instructor evaluation is required at the end of every course before your certificate is issued.
If you don't pass the exam: You can retake the exam immediately — there is no waiting period and no limit on the number of retake attempts.

Other key rules

  • 180-day completion window — self-paced internet courses must be completed within 180 days of purchase, or the course expires.
  • NRED's 4-per-day limit — even without a per-course time requirement, NRED restricts licensees to a maximum of 4 self-paced internet CE courses per day (Live/Zoom courses are not subject to this limit).
  • 4-year record retention — ceASAP retains records of your completed courses for at least 4 years per NAC 645.455(3)(c)(4).

Reference: Full text of NAC 645.455 is available on the Nevada Legislature website.

Are the courses mobile-friendly?

Yes — for self-paced internet courses. Our platform is fully responsive on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, so you can complete self-paced CE virtually anywhere with internet access.

For Live/Zoom sessions, we recommend using a full desktop or laptop rather than a mobile device. A larger screen lets you fully experience the course materials, engage properly with the instructor and other participants, and absorb the material as it's intended. Live/Zoom CE involves real-time interaction, on-camera engagement, breakout discussions, and shared screens — all of which are difficult to follow on a small phone or tablet screen.

A reliable camera, microphone, and stable internet connection are required for Live/Zoom credit (see "What are the requirements to receive credit for a Live/Zoom CE session?" for the full list of NRED attendance requirements).

What happens if I lose internet connection during a course?

For self-paced courses, your progress is saved continuously — log back in once your connection is restored and resume where you left off. For Live/Zoom courses, rejoin using the same Zoom link, but extended disconnections may affect your attendance credit, since NRED requires full participation. If a technical issue prevents you from completing a live session, contact us right away to reschedule.

Are your courses accessible for students with disabilities?

ceASAP is committed to making our continuing education accessible to all Nevada real estate licensees. Our platform follows modern web accessibility standards, and we work to ensure our courses can be used with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and adjustable display settings.

If you have a specific accessibility need — closed captioning, alternative formats, extended time for live sessions, or any other accommodation — please reach out to us at Contact@ceASAP.com before enrolling. We'll work with you directly to make sure you can complete your CE without barriers.

What can I do with my ceASAP course materials after I complete a course?

You can keep your course materials for personal reference, but you cannot share or redistribute them — and you should treat the content as a snapshot that may be updated over time.

You can keep them for personal reference

We provide digital downloads of all course materials so you have a valuable reference throughout your real estate career. Save them to your computer, your cloud drive, or print copies for your own files.

You cannot share or redistribute them

All ceASAP course materials — including text, videos, graphics, and other resources — are protected by copyright and exclusively owned by ceASAP.com LTD. You may not share, reproduce, distribute, modify, or sell them without prior written permission. As a student, you agree to use these resources for your personal learning only. Violations may result in legal action, including claims for damages and penalties. Respecting these rules helps us continue creating valuable content for every Nevada licensee.

Materials are updated without notice

Course materials are updated as needed to reflect changes in state laws, local ordinances, or industry policies. These updates may occur without prior notice to current or former students. If you retain materials from a previously completed course, you will not receive notifications about updates.

Stay current before applying course content to a transaction. It is your responsibility to stay informed about relevant regulation and industry changes before applying information from ceASAP course materials. We strongly recommend consulting your supervising broker or a trusted professional source before relying on any course content for a real transaction.

Certificates and Proof of Completion

How do I obtain my course completion certificate?

Certificates are issued immediately upon completing course requirements. ceASAP makes your certificate available to you in three different ways, so you'll always have a copy:

  1. Download it right from the course page. The moment you finish the course, your certificate is available for instant download as a PDF — no waiting, no extra clicks.
  2. Check your email. A copy of the certificate is automatically emailed to the address you used to register your ceASAP account, so you have a permanent record in your inbox.
  3. Access it anytime in My ceVault. Every certificate you've earned through ceASAP is stored in your ceVault dashboard, where you can re-download it whenever you need.
Pro tip: Even with three backup copies, we recommend saving each certificate to your computer or cloud drive when you finish a course. That way you have it ready to upload to NRED at renewal time without hunting through email or logging in to retrieve it.
Will ceASAP send my course completion to the Nevada Real Estate Division?

Yes — but with an important caveat that every licensee needs to understand.

What ceASAP sends to NRED

ceASAP submits a weekly report of all course completions to NRED. Your completion typically appears in NRED's internal records within about 10 days of finishing a course.

What NRED actually uses at renewal time

NRED does not rely on the weekly completion reports submitted by ceASAP — or by any other CE provider — to determine whether you've met your renewal requirements. At renewal, NRED only counts the certificates you personally submit with your renewal application.

This means:

  • The completion report ceASAP files with NRED is for NRED's internal tracking purposes only.
  • It does not satisfy your renewal requirement.
  • You are responsible for personally uploading or attaching every completion certificate to your renewal — whether for ceASAP courses or any other provider you used during the cycle.

What this means for you

When you renew your Nevada real estate license, you must submit your own PDF certificates to NRED. Don't assume the provider's report has taken care of it — it hasn't. Always:

  1. Download and save every completion certificate as you earn it (ceASAP makes this easy — see the certificate retrieval question above for the three ways to access yours).
  2. Keep them organized in one place: a folder on your computer, a cloud drive, or your ceVault dashboard (which stores all of them automatically and lets you generate a combined CE Portfolio PDF for one-step submission to NRED).
  3. Upload the certificates yourself when you submit your renewal application.
Plan for the gap. Even though ceASAP reports your completions to NRED within about 10 days, this is not a substitute for submitting certificates at renewal. NRED requires your direct submission regardless of what shows in their internal system.
How long should I keep my certificates?

We recommend keeping completion certificates for at least 5 years after the renewal period to which they apply.

Why 5 years?

NRED itself requires CE providers to retain course records for 4 years under NAC 645.455(3)(c)(4) — keeping your own certificates for 5 years gives you a buffer beyond NRED's own retention window.

Where ceVault fits in

Your ceVault dashboard automatically stores every certificate for a minimum of 5 years — both ceASAP completion certificates and any certificates you've uploaded from other providers. That means you don't have to manage retention manually; ceVault handles it for you within that 5-year window.

NRED audits do happen — proof is your responsibility.

NRED can audit licensees' CE records after renewal, and if your records are selected, you'll need to be able to produce your certificates on request. Failure to provide proof of completed CE can result in license issues, including reinstatement requirements or fines. Don't rely solely on provider records — keep your own copies.

Best practice

Even with ceVault retention, save a personal copy of every certificate to your computer or cloud drive when you earn it. Cloud drives (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive) make this easy and free, and it gives you a permanent record that exists independent of any provider's system.

How long are my CE certificates valid for use toward license renewal?

CE certificates are valid only for the two-year renewal cycle in which the course was completed. Once that renewal period closes, those hours cannot be applied to a future renewal — even if you didn't end up needing them.

For example, if your renewal period runs from January 2025 through December 2026, every CE certificate dated within that window applies to that renewal. A course completed in January 2027 would count toward your next renewal cycle (2027–2028), not the one that just ended.

This is why timing matters: complete your full 36 hours before your license expiration date, and submit those certificates with your current renewal. Certificates themselves don't "expire" as documents — you should keep them on file for at least 5 years in case of an NRED audit — but they only count toward the specific cycle in which they were earned.

How can I verify that NRED has my completed CE hours on file?

To see the courses NRED has on file for you, log in to your personal NRED online account at red.nv.gov (Online Services). Your account dashboard is where NRED tracks the CE hours submitted by approved providers under your license number.

A quick note on the public License Lookup tool: it shows your license type, status, and expiration date — but it does not display your CE course history. For that, you have to be logged into your own NRED account.

Important — read this carefully NRED does not rely on the CE completion reports submitted by ceASAP (or any other provider) when you renew your license. At renewal time, NRED only counts the completion certificates you personally submit as part of your renewal application. The hours that appear in NRED's system from provider reporting are for NRED's internal tracking only — they will not be used to satisfy your renewal requirements on your behalf.

What this means for you:

  • Always download and save every completion certificate the moment you finish a course.
  • When you renew, submit those certificates yourself through the NRED online renewal portal.
  • Do not assume NRED will pull from their internal records — they won't.

A few timing notes:

  • ceASAP submits a weekly report of all completions to NRED. It typically takes about 10 days from your course completion date for NRED to update your record on their side.
  • If you've completed a course and don't see it in your NRED account after 2–3 weeks, contact us at Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll help track it down.

Meanwhile, your ceVault dashboard updates instantly the moment a course is completed — so you'll always have a real-time view of your compliance, even before NRED's record catches up. And when you're ready to renew, ceVault generates a CE Portfolio PDF containing all your certificates in one organized document, ready to submit to NRED.

Can I print my completion certificates, or do I have to use them as PDFs?

Both work. Your completion certificates are issued as PDFs, which you can:

  • Print at home, at the office, or anywhere with a printer — useful if you prefer a paper copy for your personal records or your broker's file.
  • Save digitally to your computer, phone, or cloud drive for easy access.
  • Upload as PDFs when you renew your real estate license — during the NRED online renewal process, you'll have the opportunity to upload your PDF certificates as part of your application. PDF is the format NRED accepts, and having everything ready in advance keeps the renewal smooth.
Tip: instead of uploading certificates one by one, log in to your ceVault and download the CE Portfolio PDF — it merges all of your completion certificates into a single, organized document you can upload to NRED in one shot.

Whether you renew online or in person, we recommend keeping your PDFs organized in one place. Your ceVault dashboard does this for you automatically — every certificate you earn through ceASAP is stored there, and certificates from other Nevada-approved providers can be uploaded too so everything lives in one spot.

License Renewal Process

How do I renew my Nevada real estate license?

After completing 36 hours of CE, log in to NRED at red.nv.gov, select Online Services, then Online Renewal. Upload your completion certificates and pay the renewal fee. For a step-by-step walkthrough, visit our YouTube channel.

Can I renew my license online?

Yes. NRED offers online renewal at red.nv.gov. It's the fastest method and the route most licensees take.

What is the deadline for renewing my Nevada real estate license?

It depends on whether this is your first renewal or a subsequent renewal.

First-year renewal (new licensees)

Your initial Nevada real estate license is valid for one year, expiring at the end of the month in which it was issued. To renew, you must complete the 30-hour Post-License education through live instruction within that first 12 months — not the standard 36-hour CE requirement.

Exception: If you qualify for a Post-License exemption under NAC 645.4442(2) — for example, you held a real estate license in another U.S. state when you got your Nevada license, you held a Nevada license within the prior 5 years, or you're a broker-salesperson qualifying under NRS 645.343(4) — you'll complete the standard 36 hours of CE for your first renewal instead (with at least 18 hours through live instruction).

Subsequent renewals (every two years after your first)

Once you've completed your first renewal, your license is valid for two years, expiring at the end of your birth month. You must complete 36 hours of approved CE per cycle (18 Core + 18 General), with up to 18 hours allowed as self-paced internet CE and at least 18 hours as live or live-streamed instruction.

Verify your exact expiration date using NRED's License Lookup tool at red.nv.gov. Your ceVault dashboard includes a built-in renewal countdown so you always know how many days remain in your current cycle.

What happens if my license expires?

If your license expires, you cannot legally practice real estate in Nevada until it's reinstated or you reapply. The path back depends on how long it's been expired.

Within 1 year of the renewal date — Late Renewal

NRED allows expired licenses to be reinstated within one year of the renewal date by:

  • Submitting NRED's Late Renewal application form (Form 544 or Form 580, depending on license type)
  • Paying the renewal fee plus a late penalty
  • Completing all required CE hours for the renewal period
  • Filing any additional documents required for your license type (e.g., Trust Account Reconciliation Form 546 for brokers)

During this expired period you cannot work as a real estate licensee — even though reinstatement is still possible, your license is not active and you cannot conduct real estate activity until it's reinstated.

More than 1 year past the renewal date — Permanent Closure

If your license remains expired for more than one year, NRED permanently closes the license. At that point, reinstatement is no longer available, and you must reapply as a new licensee per NRED's current application requirements.

Permits close immediately upon non-renewal

This is a critical detail many licensees miss: Property Management, Business Broker, and Broker Management permits are closed immediately when your license is not renewed — they don't get the one-year grace period that applies to the license itself. Even if you reinstate your license within the 1-year window, you'll need to reapply for any permits you held separately.

For more information

Always verify the current procedures, fees, and forms directly with NRED before acting. Reinstatement rules, late fees, and forms can change. See the NRED information disclaimer at the top of this page.

What fees are associated with license renewal?

Renewal fees are set and collected by NRED, not by ceASAP. Amounts vary by license type and any attached permits. For the current fee schedule, visit red.nv.gov.

Technology Requirements

What technology and system requirements do I need for ceASAP courses?

ceASAP works on standard modern hardware and any major operating system. Here's what you need to get the most out of your courses — and what's required for NRED Live/Zoom credit.

Devices

  • Self-paced internet courses: Desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone — your choice.
  • Live/Zoom CE sessions: A full desktop or laptop is strongly recommended over mobile devices. Larger screens make it much easier to follow shared materials, engage with the instructor and classmates, and meet NRED's on-camera attendance requirements.

Operating system

  • Windows 10 or 11
  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer
  • ChromeOS (current version)
  • iOS 15+ / Android 10+ (for self-paced courses on tablet/phone)

Camera, microphone & audio

  • Required for Live/Zoom CE credit: A working webcam and microphone. Built-in laptop hardware is fine for most users.
  • Headphones recommended for Live/Zoom — they reduce echo and improve audio clarity for everyone in the session.
  • Lighting: Face a window or light source. Avoid backlight (windows or lamps behind you) that puts your face in shadow.

For browser requirements, see "What browsers are supported?" below. For internet speed, see "What internet speed do I need for Live/Zoom CE?"

What browsers are supported?

The ceASAP platform works on all major modern browsers:

  • Google Chrome (recommended) — best overall compatibility and performance
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari (macOS/iOS)

Whichever browser you use, make sure it's updated to the latest version and that JavaScript and cookies are enabled.

If you run into a problem during a course or Live/Zoom session, try Google Chrome first as a quick fix — most platform issues are resolved by switching to Chrome.
What internet speed do I need for Live/Zoom CE?

Live/Zoom CE sessions require a stable, reliable internet connection. Disconnections during class can cost you NRED credit (see the Live/Zoom attendance requirements for the full rules, including the 15-minute absence limit).

Recommended bandwidth

  • Minimum: 5 Mbps download / 3 Mbps upload
  • Recommended: 25 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload

For the best connection

  • Wired Ethernet is best. Plug directly into your router if possible.
  • If you're on WiFi, sit close to your router and minimize other bandwidth-heavy activity during class (no streaming, large downloads, or cloud backups).
  • Have a backup plan. A mobile hotspot or secondary internet source can save your credit if your primary connection drops.
  • Test your speed the day before a Live/Zoom session at fast.com or speedtest.net.
How do I prepare for a Live/Zoom CE session?

NRED's Live/Zoom attendance rules are strict — a 5-minute pre-flight check the day before a session prevents almost all of the tech issues that cost licensees their credit. Use this checklist:

24 hours before the session

  1. Test your Zoom link. Click it and make sure you can join without surprises on class day.
  2. Test your camera and microphone in Zoom settings or with Zoom's built-in test tool.
  3. Update your Zoom display name to your full legal name as it appears on your real estate license. NRED uses this for the attendance roster.
  4. Run an internet speed test at fast.com — confirm at least 5/3 Mbps (25/10 Mbps recommended).

30 minutes before the session

  1. Set up your environment:
    • Quiet, distraction-free space
    • Good lighting on your face — avoid backlight from windows or lamps behind you
    • Plain or simple background — avoid virtual backgrounds (they can interfere with proctor verification and may disqualify your attendance)
    • Camera at eye level (raise your laptop on books if needed)
  2. Charge your device (or plug it in for the full session).
  3. Close unnecessary apps and browser tabs to free up bandwidth and processing power.
  4. Silence notifications — phone, email, messaging apps.
  5. Have water and any notes ready — you must remain at your camera and engaged throughout the session.
Remember: Under NAC 645.4438, you must be visibly engaged on camera, free of distracting electronic devices for unrelated purposes, and present for at least the full session minus 15 minutes. Read the full Live/Zoom requirements before your first session.
What if I have video, audio, or connection problems during a session?

Tech issues happen — what matters is how quickly you respond. NRED requires full attendance for Live/Zoom credit, so act fast.

Camera or microphone not working

  1. Check Zoom permissions in your browser/system settings.
  2. Try unplugging/replugging external devices, or switch to your laptop's built-in camera/mic.
  3. Refresh and rejoin the meeting using the original Zoom link.
  4. Alert the instructor in the chat immediately — they need to know you're experiencing a technical issue, not skipping the session.

Frozen video or audio dropping out

  1. Switch from WiFi to Ethernet (or vice versa) if possible.
  2. Disable virtual backgrounds.
  3. Close bandwidth-heavy apps in the background.
  4. Restart Zoom if the issue persists.

Completely disconnected

  1. Rejoin using the same Zoom link as quickly as possible.
  2. Note the time you were disconnected — extended absences can disqualify your attendance (the 15-minute absence limit applies).
  3. If you can't rejoin or the issue is serious, contact us right away at Contact@ceASAP.com so we can help you reschedule.

For self-paced internet courses

Your progress is saved continuously. Log back in once your connection is restored and pick up where you left off — no credit lost.

General troubleshooting (any session)

  1. Refresh the page or restart your browser.
  2. Check device volume and confirm nothing is muted.
  3. Disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers) that may block media.
  4. Try Google Chrome if you're using another browser.
  5. Test on a different device.

If problems persist, email Contact@ceASAP.com or chat with Chloe in the lower-right corner of any ceasap.com page.

Payment and Billing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure checkout.

Is there a convenience fee for online payments?

No. ceASAP does not charge convenience fees — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.

Can I get a receipt for my payment?

Yes. A receipt is emailed automatically to your registered address right after purchase. You can also view and re-download your purchase history any time from your account dashboard.

Do you offer group/brokerage discounts, gift cards, or course vouchers?

For group or brokerage pricing inquiries, gift cards, or course vouchers, please contact ceASAP directly at Contact@ceASAP.com and we'll be happy to discuss options with you.

What are ceASAP's refund policies?

Refund terms vary by product type:

  • Internet (self-paced) courses: Within 14 days of purchase, provided less than 25% of the content has been accessed.
  • Live/Zoom courses: Up to one hour before the scheduled start time.
  • All other courses: Within 14 days, with less than 25% accessed.

To request a refund, email Contact@ceASAP.com with subject line "Refund Request" and include your full name, registered email, course name, purchase date, and reason. Full policy: ceasap.com/refund-policies.

Compliance and Regulations

Are your courses compliant with Nevada Real Estate Division regulations?

Yes. ceASAP is an NRED-approved CE provider, and every course is individually approved with its own NRED course number. Completing our courses satisfies Nevada's CE requirements for license renewal.

What happens if I don't complete my CE requirements on time?

If you don't complete your required CE before expiration, NRED will not renew your license — and you cannot practice real estate in Nevada until it's reinstated. Within 1 year of expiration, you may qualify for Late Renewal by paying the renewal fee plus a late penalty and completing all required CE. If more than 1 year passes, NRED permanently closes the license and you must reapply as a new licensee. Permits close immediately upon non-renewal and must be reapplied for separately. See "What happens if my license expires?" for full details. Our 36-hour packages are designed so you can complete everything in as little as one week if you're up against the deadline.

Can I take courses from other providers and still meet Nevada requirements?

Yes — as long as those courses are NRED-approved and carry an NRED course number. NRED accepts CE from any approved provider. Just be careful not to take the same NRED-numbered course twice in one renewal period; duplicates won't count. If you do take courses with other providers, upload those certificates to your ceVault dashboard so all of your CE hours are tracked in one place.

Special Circumstances

What if I've switched brokers since my last renewal?

A broker change is a separate process from CE and renewal. Update your brokerage affiliation directly with NRED through their online portal at red.nv.gov. Your CE requirements remain the same regardless of brokerage changes.

Can I renew my license if it's currently inactive?

Yes — an inactive Nevada license can be renewed, but the requirements depend on whether you're in your first-year cycle or a subsequent renewal cycle.

If you're a first-year renewal licensee (still in your original 12-month license period)

You must complete the 30-hour Post-License education through live instruction within your first 12 months of licensure — the same requirement that applies to active first-year licensees — unless you qualify for an exemption under NAC 645.4442(2). Inactive status does not change the Post-License requirement. (See "What is Post-License education?" for full details.)

If you're a subsequent-renewal licensee

Complete the standard 36 hours of CE for your two-year renewal cycle (18 Core + 18 General, with permit-specific CE and Broker Management overlap rules as applicable).

Returning to active status

If you want to return to active status (not just renew inactive status), you'll also need to be associated with a licensed Nevada broker.

Fees

NRED may charge additional fees to renew an inactive license beyond the standard renewal fee. Fee amounts vary based on your license type, permits, and how long the license has been inactive.

Verify current procedures with NRED before submitting. Inactive-license renewal rules and fee structures are set and updated by NRED — visit red.nv.gov or contact NRED directly. See the NRED information disclaimer at the top of this page.

What if I've been out of the industry for a while?

It depends on how long your license has been inactive or expired:

  • Inactive but not expired: Complete your CE and renew normally (see "Can I renew my license if it's currently inactive?" above for details on Post-License vs. standard CE requirements).
  • Expired within the past 1 year: You may qualify for Late Renewal — reinstating the license requires paying the renewal fee plus a late penalty and completing all required CE for the renewal period. Permits close immediately upon non-renewal and must be reapplied for separately.
  • Expired for more than 1 year: NRED permanently closes the license. At that point, reinstatement is no longer available, and you must reapply as a new licensee per NRED's current application requirements.

For complete details on expired licenses, including form requirements and the immediate-closure rule for permits, see "What happens if my license expires?" in the License Renewal Process section.

Contact NRED at red.nv.gov for guidance specific to your situation. We're happy to help build a custom CE package if you need to catch up. See the NRED information disclaimer at the top of this page.

Will my Nevada CE transfer if I move to another state?

CE transferability varies by state — there is no universal reciprocity for continuing education hours. Each state's real estate regulator sets its own requirements, and most do not automatically accept CE completed for another state's license.

If you're planning to get licensed in another state, contact that state's real estate regulatory agency directly to find out:

  • Whether they offer license reciprocity with Nevada (some states do, with varying conditions).
  • Whether any of your Nevada CE will count toward their pre-licensing or CE requirements.
  • What additional education, exams, or applications you'll need to complete.

A few useful starting points: the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) at arello.org maintains a directory of state regulators, and individual state real estate division websites are typically the most authoritative source for their own requirements.

If you're staying licensed in Nevada and getting licensed elsewhere, your ceASAP completion certificates will continue to satisfy Nevada's renewal requirements regardless of where you live.

CE rules in Nevada are set by NRED and the Real Estate Commission and can change between renewal cycles. Stay informed by:

What resources does the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) offer?
Important: NAR resources are primarily for NAR members (REALTORS®).

Not every Nevada real estate licensee is a REALTOR®. If you're not a NAR member, some resources below are publicly accessible, but member-only resources require active NAR membership through your local REALTOR® association.

Where to start

The main NAR website is nar.realtor. Members log in through the same site to access member-exclusive content and check their training status.

Key NAR resources for REALTOR® members

  • Code of Ethics and Code of Ethics Trainingnar.realtor/about-nar/governing-documents/code-of-ethics — the full Code, training requirements, and the current three-year cycle (Cycle 8 runs January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2027).
  • Fair Housing Trainingnar.realtor/about-nar/governing-documents/code-of-ethics/code-of-ethics-training/fair-housing-requirement — As of January 2025, NAR requires REALTOR® members to complete fair housing training every three years (first cycle: 2025–2027), aligned with the Code of Ethics cycle.

Check your training status

NAR members can verify their current Code of Ethics and Fair Housing training cycle status at nar.realtor/my-account#term-My-Education.

Important to know

  • NAR membership is separate from your Nevada real estate license. NAR's training requirements (Code of Ethics, Fair Housing) are membership obligations, not state CE requirements. Failing to complete them can result in suspension or termination of REALTOR® membership.
  • The NAR Code of Ethics and Fair Housing training cycles do not replace Nevada's NRED CE requirements — they're separate obligations.
  • Membership in NAR is obtained through your local REALTOR® association, which connects you to NAR and your state association (Nevada REALTORS®).
