30 Hour Remedial Course  for Broker's & Salesperson's License                

New York State passed a law increasing the requirement for a Salesperson's license from a 45 hour course to a 75 hour course, effective July 1, 2008.  The new NYS salesperson 75-hour syllabus is required for all individuals who want to obtain a salesperson license in New York as of July 1, 2008 and is a prerequisite for those wanting to obtain a broker or associate broker license as well. The 30 hour remedial course is required for two types of licensure applicants (see below for more FAQs on the 30 hour remedial course):  

• Individuals who have completed the “old” 45-hour salespersons course, and want a New York salesperson license, but have not completed the salesperson licensure requirements as of July 1, 2008, and;
• Individuals who want a New York broker or associate broker license who have completed the “old” 45-hour salesperson course.  

Course Fee: $200.   

Required Text:  Students are required to purchase the textbook The Modern Real Estate Practice in New York State, 10th Ed., PRIOR to the start of the class, as there is required reading before course begins. The textbook is available for $35.00 (tax included).  For an additional fee of $7.00, we will mail your textbook directly to you.  

Attendees should note that the 30-hour Remedial Salesperson’s course is actually the final 30 hours of the new 75-hour Salesperson’s Licensing course. As such, students will be attending class with those currently signed up for the complete 75-hours. The 30-hour Remedial Course final exam will be given separately and is scheduled for 8am-10am on the final Friday of class.  

All sessions will be held during the following hours:

Mon.-Wed. from 8am-5:30pm; Thu. 8am-11am followed by Final exam 11:30am-1:30pm.

What Subjects are in the 30 Hour Remedial Course?   The new subjects that are in the new 75 hour salespersons course are in the new remedial course. These are Municipal Agencies, Property Insurance, Taxes and Assessments, Condos and Co-ops, Commercial and Investment Properties, Income Tax Issues, Mortgage Broker and Property Management. In addition, three of the subjects in the 30-hour remedial course, specifically Contract Preparation, Pricing Properties, and Predatory Lending are part of larger subjects in the salesperson qualifying course.  

Who must take the 30-hour remedial course?  The new NYS salesperson 75-hour syllabus is required for all individuals who want to obtain a salesperson license in New York as of July 1, 2008. The remedial course is now required for two types of licensure applicants:   

• Individuals who have completed the “old” 45-hour salespersons course, and want a New York salesperson license, but have not completed the salesperson licensure requirements as of July 1, 2008, and; 
• Individuals who want a New York broker or associate broker license who have completed the “old” 45-hour salesperson course.  
• Note that applicants who have completed the new 75-hour salesperson course (as of July 1, 2008) do not need to complete the remedial course.    

How many hours of qualifying education are required for the New York salesperson license?  As of July 1, 2008, 75 hours of qualifying education are required for the salesperson license. 

How many hours of qualifying education are required for the New York broker license?   Under the new law, broker and associate broker applicants must complete 120 hours of qualifying education.  

• Individuals who complete the new 75-hour salesperson qualifying course must also complete the 45-hour broker course.
• Individuals who have completed the “old” salesperson 45-hour qualifying course must complete the 30-hour remedial course and the 45-hour broker qualifying course.    
• Applicants who have completed the old salesperson 45-hour qualifying course and the 45-hour broker qualifying course, before or after July 1, 2008, need only complete the 30-hour remedial course. This is because the broker course syllabus has not changed.  

Must I pass a classroom exam as part of the 30-hour remedial course?  Yes. All applicants who complete the remedial course must pass a two-hour minimum 50-question classroom exam. The state exam for the salesperson and broker license will cover topics given in the remedial course.
