• The Broker Course qualifies for your 22.5-hour Continuing Education requirement after the completion of the school exam and 3.75 hours of Fair Housing.

The Process

• Our Brokers Course is 45 hours and offered in 11 separate numbered sessions.
• You can start any day, any time, with any session number.
• You can take the sessions in any order that is convenient to you, as long as you don't repeat any numbered sessions.
• We are the only school that allows you to mix and match sessions between day and night classes and from one month to the next.
• Once you complete all 11 sessions, it's time to take your school and state exams.
