I found out about the 45-hour requirement with two months left in my first license period. Finished with room to spare.
Unlike pre-licensing, this applied to deals I was already working. I used the listing material the same week.
Between showings I'd knock out a unit on my phone in the car. That's the only way it got done.
The escrow and compliance units answered the questions my broker was tired of me asking.
Premier reported my hours to the DBPR, so I wasn't chasing a certificate the week of my renewal.
The first year in this business is chaos. Being able to stop and pick back up without losing my place mattered more than anything else.
Once you've completed the required pre-licensing education you can apply for your licensing exam! The application process includes submitting your application to the Florida DBPR, paying the fees, and getting your electronic fingerprints taken for the background check! Don't worry, Premier Courses can help you navigate the paperwork!
This is important! You MUST pass the state exam within 2 years of completing your pre-licensing course, or the course expires and you’ll have to take it again!
The state exam is administered by Pearson VUE. To pass the test you'll need a score of 75% or better! But don't worry, you're going to ace it!
Once you pass the test you're officially a real estate sales associate! Your license is issued in inactive status until you affiliate with a licensed Florida broker — so pick a brokerage that matches your needs and expectations, activate your license, and start building your business.

Florida requires every new real estate sales associate to complete 45 hours of FREC-approved post-licensing education before their first license renewal.
Post-licensing builds on what you learned in the pre-license course with the practical, day-to-day knowledge you need in your first years in the business — and it's required to keep the license you worked so hard to earn.
Your initial Florida license expires 18 to 24 months after it's issued — the exact date (March 31 or September 30) is printed on your license and shown in your DBPR account at www.myfloridalicense.com.
You must complete all 45 hours of post-licensing education before that first expiration date. Don't wait until the last minute — leave yourself time to finish the course and for your completion to be reported to the DBPR.
If you don't complete the 45-hour post-licensing requirement before your first renewal deadline, your Florida sales associate license becomes null and void.
To become licensed again, you would have to start over: retake the 63-hour pre-license course and pass the state exam again. Completing your post-licensing on time is much easier.
Yes! Premier Courses' 45-hour post-licensing course is delivered fully online and is self-paced, so you can study on your own schedule from any device and pick up right where you left off.
Post-licensing is a one-time, 45-hour requirement that must be completed before your first license renewal.
Continuing education (CE) is the ongoing requirement that kicks in after that: 14 hours every two-year renewal cycle, consisting of 3 hours of Core Law, 3 hours of Ethics and Business Practices, and 8 hours of specialty education.
Yes, Premier Courses' 45-hour online Sales Associate Post-License course is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (School ID #ZH1003192). That means our course fulfills your entire Florida post-licensing education requirement.
You can complete your final exam online in the comfort of your own home. You'll need a desktop computer or laptop and a current government-issued photo ID to verify your identity before the exam begins.
When you complete the course and pass the final exam, your completion is reported electronically to the DBPR and you'll receive a certificate for your records.
Then simply renew your license before your expiration date through your DBPR account at www.myfloridalicense.com and pay the renewal fee.
After this first renewal, you'll move onto Florida's standard continuing education cycle: 14 hours of CE every two years.
Premier Courses is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to provide the 45-hour Sales Associate Post-License course required for all newly licensed Florida sales associates. Premier Courses' school ID is ZH1003192.
The course covers the practical skills of working real estate — working with buyers and sellers, listings, contracts, financing, and risk management — and concludes with the FREC-required end-of-course exam.
All 45 hours must be completed before your first license renewal deadline.
The end-of-course final exam is multiple choice. Per Florida Real Estate Commission rules, you must score 75% or higher to pass.
If you fail the final exam, FREC requires you to wait at least 30 days from the date of the original exam before retesting. You may retest a maximum of one time within one year of the original exam, and you'll be given a different form of the exam. If you fail the second attempt, you'll need to repeat the course before testing again.
The course must be completed within six months of registration. If you are unable to complete the course within the six month period, Premier Courses offers extensions for an additional fee.
Keep in mind that regardless of your course access period, Florida requires all post-licensing hours to be completed before your first license renewal deadline.
Before taking your end-of-course final exam, you'll be asked to verify your identity with a current government-issued photo identification, such as:
The name on your identification must match the name on your course registration.
When you complete the course and pass the final exam, you'll receive a certificate of completion and your course completion is reported electronically to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
You can verify your education record at any time through your DBPR online account at www.myfloridalicense.com.
