1. Enroll in Pre-Licensing Course
The FREC requires the successful completion of a 63-hour pre-licensing course. This course can be taken online or in a classroom. This class is designed to teach you everything you need to know to pass your exams as well as valuable information for your new career.
How long to complete the pre-licensing course?
Even though the FREC requires a "63-hour" pre-licensing course, most students complete the required course in less time.
Our interactive online course is on-demand, self-paced & available 24/7. We've seen students fly through the course is less than 40 hours, or you can take up to one year to complete. Click here for more info.
In the classroom course, we have morning classes, evening classes & day classes that can be completed in under two weeks. Click here for more info.
2. Complete Fingerprinting
The FREC requires a FDLE & FBI background checks be completed for all license applicants. You will be required to have your fingerprints taken as part of the background check process.
Where Can Fingerprints be Taken?
Electronic fingerprinting is offered on-site at all of our classroom locations on certain days before or after classes. Find out more and schedule a fingerprinting appointment.
Fingerprinting Kit - Required for Out-of-State
Order fingerprint kit that you will mail in for processing. Everything needed to get your fingerprints rolled is included in the kit. Find out more and order a fingerprinting kit.
Can You Get a Florida Real Estate License with a Felony?
You may be able to get a real estate license with a criminal background. The FREC decides on a case-by-case basis what applicants with a criminal background will be approved.
You will be required to submit supporting documentation regarding the charges on your application. A criminal background may cause you application to take up to 90 days to be processed.
For more information about becoming a real estate agent with a criminal background, click here.
Can You Reuse Previous Fingerprints?
Due to DBPR rules, you may not reuse any previous fingerprints for your real estate license.
3. File DBPR Application
To become a real estate licensee in Florida, you must file a license application with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR). Your application is submitted to the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR).
How long does it take for a real estate license application to be approved?
Typically about a week once both your fingerprints and application are received. If you have a criminal background, have held a license in another state, or the DBPR is receiving more applications than normal, it may take as long as 90 days.
4. Schedule State Exam
After your DBPR application is approved, you may schedule your state exam. You'll receive an email from Pearson VUE with your FLREAPP number.
When Should You File the Application?
As soon as possible! You do not have to be enrolled in the course to file the application.
To ensure you can take the state exam as soon as you finish the course, you'll want your application already approved and your exam already scheduled.
Anytime spent waiting after the course is more time to forget what you learned.
How to File Real Estate License Application?
Your application must be submitted to the Florida DBPR. This can be done electronically or by mail. We recommend filing electronically on the DBPR website for the fastest response.

5. Pass End of Course Exam

What Score is Needed to Pass the End of Course Exam?

Does the Exam Have Math Problems?
Yes, but only 10. You could miss every single math question and still get a 90%. The math is fairly predictable when you have practiced, so these could also be an easy 10 points to get.
Do I Need to Schedule the End of Course Exam?
You do not need to schedule the end of course exam. If you are taking a classroom course, the exam will be given on the last day of class. If you are taking the online course, you can start the exam once you have completed all of the units of the course.
What Happens If You Fail the End of Course Exam?
If you do not score at least 70% on the end of course exam, FREC rules require that you wait 30 days before you can retake a different version of the exam.
If you do not pass on the second attempt of your exam, FREC rules require that you retake the course again in full.
Under our 1-Year Retake Guarantee, as long as you retake the course within 1-year of the start date of your course, we do not charge any retake fees. Retakes are subject to space availability.

You will receive a printout of your results at the testing center. This will show you the units where you missed the most questions.Use this as a guide of what areas you need to review before your next exam appointment.
Should I Pay to Review My Exam?
Pearson VUE offers an option to pay to review your most recent exam attempt.
Since the state exam pulls from such a large pool of questions, you are unlikely to see the same questions again. You also are not allowed to take any notes. Therefore, we do not recommend that you pay to review your exam.
How Hard is the Florida Real Estate Exam?
The pass rate for first time real estate exam takers throughout the entire state of Florida typically averages 50%.
This test is not designed to test your level of intelligence, but your memory and understanding of the material taught in the course. Wrong answers are designed to sound more correct if you are just going off general knowledge/common sense.
Are There Additional Study Tools for the End of Course Exam?
Yes, there are additional study tools you can purchase to ensure your preparedness for the exam.
