The required courses prepare you to sit for the state license exam. After you pass and complete the course final exam, a survey page will be displayed. The final survey page must be submitted to us to indicate that you have finished the course material successfully. Upon receiving the survey we will activate your completion certificate. Completion certificates are posted directly to your student account. You will then schedule your license exam with the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) who administers the state licensing exam. Applicants must take and pass the salesperson license exam in order to qualify for a license. You can find more information about how to schedule your state license exam on the CA Department of Real Estate website: http://www.dre.ca.gov/Examinees/HowWhereScheduled.html
