Nev. Admin. Code § 361.567 - Continuing education: Credit; documentation; waiver of and failure to satisfy requirements
1. The Department,
in consultation with the Board, will determine the appropriate number of
contact hours to be awarded for each approved education course. The Department
will award the appropriate number of contact hours to persons who complete
approved education courses and provide documentation to the Department as
required by subsection 3. Contact hours may be awarded as follows:
(a) The Department may award the person the
number of contact hours noted on the certificate of completion for the approved
education course or on any other documentation of the approved education course
provided by the person to the Department as required by subsection 3.
(b)
If a person completes an approved education course offered by a university or community college, the Department may award the person 12 contact hours for each semester credit earned.
(c) If an approved education
course includes an examination for the course and a person completes the
instruction for the course but fails to pass the examination, the Department
may award the person one-half of the contact hours that the person would have
been awarded had he or she passed the examination. If the person did not
complete the instruction for the course, the Department may award the person 4
contact hours for each full day of instruction that he or she completed if the
person provides evidence satisfactory to the Department of his or her
attendance at the course. If a person who is awarded contact hours pursuant to
this paragraph subsequently passes the examination for the course, the
Department may award the person a number of contact hours equal to the total
contact hours approved for the course minus contact hours previously awarded to
the person for the course pursuant to this paragraph.
(d) The Department will not award any contact
hours for the completion of any portion of a course in real estate or the
appraisal of property if the primary objective of the course is to prepare
those persons taking the course to take and pass an examination for licensure
in real estate or the appraisal of property.
(e) The Department will not award any contact
hours for any portion of a course at a university or community college if the
person taking the course does not earn a passing grade or withdraws from the
course.
(f) When the Department
determines the number of contact hours to be awarded for a course, the
Department will not award any contact hours for any portion of the course
during which the person taking the course takes an examination for the
course.
(g) If a person instructs
an approved education course, the Department may award the person a number of
contact hours equal to the number of hours the person spent lecturing during
the course or teaching as part of a group. The Department will not award
contact hours:
(1) For any time the person
spent on preparing for the course, grading students, or assisting students on
projects or assignments outside of class; or
(2) For teaching the same course more than
once in a 12-month period.
2. The number of contact hours awarded to a
person who completes an approved education course must be the number of hours
determined to be appropriate pursuant to subsection 1 as of the date on which
the person completes the course, regardless of whether the content or length of
the course changes after that date.
3. A person who holds an appraiser's
certificate and for whom the annual training requirement has not been waived
pursuant to
NRS
361.223 shall, on or before July 1 of each
year, provide written documentation to the Department of each approved
education course the person has taken, and the total contact hours he or she
has earned, since July 1 of the previous year. The documentation for each
course must include, without limitation, a certificate of attendance that shows
the name of the person, the name of the course, the signature of the instructor
of the course or the authorized representative of the organization that
sponsored the course, and the dates of the person's attendance at the course. A
transcript of grades, if any, from the organization that sponsored the course
must also be submitted. If the course was taken at a university or community
college, a certified transcript may be submitted in lieu of a certificate of
attendance.
4. If a person has:
(a) Not completed the 180 contact hours of
accepted training described in paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of
NRS
361.223, the Department, in consultation with
the Board, may award contact hours to the person for an approved education
course completed more than 5 years before the person provides to the Department
the written documentation required by subsection 3. Any contact hours awarded
pursuant to this paragraph must be applied to the 180 contact hours described
in paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of
NRS
361.223.
(b) Completed the 180 contact hours of
accepted training described in paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of
NRS
361.223, the Department will not award any
contact hours for any course completed by the person:
(1) More than 3 years before he or she
provides to the Department the written documentation required by subsection
3.
(2) During the 3-year period for
which the person must satisfy the continuing education requirements set forth
in
NRS
361.223 if the person was awarded contact
hours for the course for the immediately preceding 3-year period, unless the
Department, in consultation with the Board, determines that the course
materials have been significantly changed or updated.
5. To qualify for a waiver of the
annual training requirement pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of
NRS
361.223, a person who holds an appraiser's
certificate must complete as part of the 180 contact hours of accepted training
required by that paragraph at least 4 hours of training in ethical and
professional standards.
6. If a
person for whom the annual training requirement has been waived pursuant to
NRS
361.223 accumulates more than 36 contact
hours during any 3-year period thereafter, the excess contact hours will not be
carried forward.
7. The Department
will notify each person who holds an appraiser's certificate and who has not
satisfied the continuing education requirements for a fiscal year or a 3-year
period, as applicable, that the appraiser's certificate is subject to
suspension or revocation pursuant to
NRS
361.224. The notice will be sent by United
States mail at least 60 days before the end of the fiscal year or 3-year period
to the address of the person as listed in the files of the Department. If the
Department does not receive a response to the notice within 30 days after
mailing, the Department will forward the matter to the Board for consideration
at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Board will review the matter and
provide its recommendation to the Department concerning whether the appraiser's
certificate should be suspended or revoked.
