The Nevada Bail General Agent license
Bail General Agent
Appoints and supervises bail agents in Nevada on behalf of an insurer. It is the one bail license Nevada asks a course of and no examination: the examination section names the other three and not this one. The application also carries a written appointment by an authorized insurer, a copy of the contract authorizing the applicant to act for it, and a letter from a local law enforcement agency in the applicant's county of residence about the applicant's record.

-
6 hours of instruction in bail bonds, approved by the Department
NRS 697.184(1)(a). The course has to be offered by a state or national organization of bail agents, or by another organization that runs training programs for the license, and then approved by the Commissioner: it is not a course a national insurance school sells. NAC 683A.225 sends whoever offers it to the same approval rules a producer course provider follows, which is the strictest set recorded on this site.

A course is required and nobody sells one
No national seller sells a course for this license. Nevada's own register does hold three approved six-hour bail courses, which is what NRS 697.150(1)(g) asks: two from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, one classroom and one online, and a third from Northwest Career College that the register flags not public. None of the three comes from a national seller, so this is a local market rather than an empty one.
