Arizona Real Estate Pre-License Education Requirements

Real Estate Salesperson License

Arizona requires two courses to be completed before applying for a new real estate license:

• Arizona Real Estate Salesperson licensing course (90 hours)
• Contract Writing Class (6 hours)

The 90-hour AZ pre-license course will teach you real estate law, ethics, practice. The course is broken up into 45 2-hour segments. Each segment has a review quiz to reinforce concepts that you are learning.

Students must pass a proctored final exam at a testing facility which can be a real estate school, university, or community college. Student should plan to make any necessary travel arrangements to be at the testing center on time and be able to complete the entire exam.

Students that pass the course final exam will be given a certificate of completion for the 90 hour course to use when submitting a real estate application.

Note: The proctored final exam is not the same as the state-administered real estate exam. You will take the real estate exam after submitting your real estate license application.
