Receiving Credit for Completed Courses

New York is an audit state that does not require hours to be posted to your license before you renew.

If the New York Real Estate Commission requires that you be able to provide proof of course completions you can print your course certificates and send them into the commission. NOTE: We keep records of all course completions for no less than 7 years.

Regulation of Online CE Courses

The New York Real Estate Commission requires that all online education providers use a timing mechanism to ensure that a minimum seat time is spent in each course (equal to 50 min per credit hour). For example, a 3-hour course must be open and active for no less than 150 minutes. The course timer mechanism will “time out” if navigation in a course is inactive for more than 15 minutes. If this happens, simply resume activity to start the timer again. For example, click the Forward Arrow button or Back Arrow button.
