New York State requires that applicants for a real estate salesperson license must complete the 75-hour New York State Salesperson Course - RE-100.  All applicants must also pass the state exam and have a sponsoring broker.  To obtain a real estate broker license an applicant must be licensed as a salesperson for at least two years and complete the 45-hour New York State Broker Course - RE-101.  Any salesperson who wishes to apply for a broker license but has only completed the 45-hour salesperson course is also required to complete the 30-hour New York State Supplementary Salesperson License Course - RE-100A.  To meet New York State requirements you cannot miss more than 4.5 hours of class.

As of July 1, 2008, all licensed real estate salespeople and brokers are also required to complete 22.5 hours of continuing education courses every two years before renewing their license.  The only exemptions are for attorneys who are also licensed real estate brokers and anyone who has been licensed as a broker continuously for at least 15 years (since May 1993).  To receive credit for a course you cannot miss any classes.
