California Department Of Real Estate (DRE) has recently changed some regulations and fees for the Real Estate License applicants . The following questions and answers reflect the most recent changes.

A. No

Q. What qualifications must I meet in order to obtain a salesperson's license from the   State of California?

A. You must be 18 years old, successfully complete three License Qualifying courses: Real Estate Practice and a third real estate course of your choice, and pass the qualifying exam of the DRE.

Q. How do I prove I passed the License Qualifying courses ?

A. Freedom Business School will issue you a certificate of completion when you've successfully passed each course. You submit these certificates to the DRE along with your application for the State exam.
