Get your Nevada Real Estate license — 100% online at your own pace

The Nevada Real Estate Commission requires applicants to complete a 90-hour pre-license education course. The course may be taken in person or online, as long as an approved course provider administers it.

The course requires you to take 45 hours on principles and practice of real estate and 45 hours on the law of property and the regulation of brokers and salespersons and the ethics of selling real estate.

You’ll earn the pre-licensure education certificate as soon as you pass the final exam.

Nevada has contracted with PearsonVUE to administer the exam. The exams must be done in person and are given in Las Vegas, Elko, and Reno by appointment only.

Vendors may charge an additional fee for their fingerprinting services.

Nevada salespersons must work under the supervision of a licensed broker. You’ll need to be hired by a broker and/or real estate company with a licensed broker before you can submit your salesperson license application.
