Remedial Licensing Course (30-hour)

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.   

On-site licensing courses are held at GRAR, 800 West Metro Park Rochester, NY, 14623.  For driving directions, visit our driving directions page.

  • Individuals who want a New York broker or associate broker license who have completed the “old” 45-hour salesperson course.

  • Applicants who have completed the old salesperson 45-hour licensing course and the 45-hour broker licensing 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.
