Regulations 2

The Commission approves distance learning courses as an option to classroom hours. Distance learning courses must be interactive and equivalent to classroom study. Satisfactory completion of a distance learning course requires passing a timed distance learning course examination. This exam does not need to be monitored or given at a centralized location. Courses must be made available by correspondence or other means for students with a hardship who cannot attend classes or access distance learning. Attorneys - An active member in good standing with The Florida Bar is exempt from the sales associate pre-licensing course (Course 1) but must still pass the state licensure exam. Degree Holders - An applicant who has received a 4-year degree or higher in real estate from an accredited institution is exempt from both the sales associate (Course 1) and broker (Course 2) pre-licensing courses. The course completion certificate is valid for licensure for 2 years from the date of the successful course completion. If you do not pass the state licensing exam within those 2 years, the course completion becomes invalid, and you must retake the course.
