To practice real estate in the state of Pennsylvania, an individual must first obtain a license from the state. One must successfully complete the licensure process which requires a number of objectives:
1. You must complete 60 hours of prescribed education in Real Estate Fundamentals (30 hrs.) and Real Estate Practice (30 hrs.). These courses can be taken in a classroom setting or online. An individual must pass an exam at the end of each course.
2. State-required Real Estate Exam. At the end of the Fundamentals and Practice class, this exam includes two sections – a general real estate section and a state-specific section.
3. Provide a Criminal History Record Information Report from the state where the applicant resides completed by the State Police. This report must be dated within 90 days of application. Pennsylvania background checks may be obtained at https://epatch.state.pa.us.
4. Complete the Pennsylvania Salesperson Initial Standard License Application and enclose payment. Other documents to be included with the application are transcripts for the completed 60 hours of education, notices from the testing service showing a passing grade on the state-required exam, and the Criminal History Record Report.
5. Affiliate with a Real Estate Company (Broker), through whom the license will be issued.

It doesn’t matter which course you take first. Each course covers different material that is all needed to prepare for the State Exam. One can start with either Fundamentals or Practice.

We may only issue transcripts to those students who have earned a passing grade for the course and have attended at least 80% of a class. Transcripts are mailed within 14 business days after the course ends.
