For the Real Estate Salesperson License

The Beginner Program

Looking to your start your career in the real estate industry? Get everything you need to be eligible to take the California Real Estate Salesperson License Exam. A salesperson license allows you to apply for work in several different areas of the real estate industry, so get started on your new path now with the Beginner Program.

Courses Overview

Please note the following for taking the courses:

  • Each course comes with an online textbook, quizzes and final exam, which are available in the Student Portal after purchase.
  • There’s a DRE-mandated 18 day minimum study period for each course, from the day you receive the course material.
  • Each course’s exam is online, with 100 multiple choice questions and 100 minute time limit. You must achieve a minimum grade of 60% to pass the course. The exam is open book.
  • If you do not pass the final exam on the first try, the DRE permits one re-take immediately. Be aware that the questions on the re-take exam will be completely different from the questions on the original final exam. A second failure would require you to complete the instructional portion of the course again and wait 18 calendar days before being allowed to take the final exam again.
  • Once all courses are passed, a certificate will be emailed to you showing all courses completed. 
  • All courses must be completed within 1 year of purchase date. If you do not complete all of the courses in your program within one year, re-enrollment for another year would be required at the full course fee.
  • It is your responsibility to follow up with the DRE to apply for a salesperson license.
