By the numbers
Real brokers. First renewal handled.
-
Sixty hours in your first year as a broker, while opening an office, is brutal. Short units at night are what made it survivable.
-
This is the course that taught me how to run a brokerage, not just how to pass a test.
-
The trust account and supervision material changed how I set up my office. I wish I'd taken it before I opened.
-
I almost missed my first renewal as a broker. Finished the 60 hours with two weeks to go and Premier filed it for me.
-
Hiring and supervising associates was the part nobody prepared me for. Those units were worth the whole course.
-
Straightforward, current, no filler. As a broker my time is the expensive part.
How to become a Real Estate Sales Associate in Florida
-
Step 1
Make sure you meet all the state requirements!
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Hold a high school diploma or its equivalent
- Have a United States Social Security number
- Be honest and truthful
-
Step 2
Register and complete the 63-hour pre-licensing course from a Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) approved course provider
- You must complete the state-required 63-hour Sales Associate pre-licensing course, covering real estate principles, practices, and Florida license law, and pass the end-of-course exam with a score of 70% or better
-
Step 3
Complete your Sales Associate exam and licensing application
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!
-
Step 4
Take and Pass the Florida Sales Associate License Exam
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!
-
Step 5
Choose a broker to activate your license with!
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.

What is Florida broker post-licensing education?
Florida requires every new real estate broker to complete 60 hours of FREC-approved broker post-licensing education before their first broker license renewal.
Broker post-licensing builds on the 72-hour pre-license course with deeper training in brokerage management and operations — and it's required to keep your broker license active.
When is my broker post-licensing deadline?
Your initial Florida broker 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 60 hours of broker 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.
What happens if I don't complete broker post-licensing on time?
If you don't complete the 60-hour broker post-licensing requirement before your first renewal deadline, your Florida broker license becomes null and void.
Florida does give brokers a limited fallback: within six months of the renewal date, you may be able to revert to a sales associate license instead of losing your license entirely. But to be a broker again, you'd have to requalify from scratch — so completing your post-licensing on time is by far the better path.
Can I complete my broker post-licensing online?
Yes! Premier Courses' 60-hour broker post-licensing course is delivered fully online and is self-paced, so you can study around your brokerage schedule from any device and pick up right where you left off.
What is the difference between post-licensing and continuing education?
Broker post-licensing is a one-time, 60-hour requirement that must be completed before your first broker 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.
Is Premier Courses approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission?
Yes, Premier Courses' 60-hour online Broker Post-License course is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (School ID #ZH1003192). That means our course fulfills your entire Florida broker post-licensing education requirement.
How do I take my final course exam?
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.
What do I do after I finish my broker post-licensing course?
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 broker 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 60-hour Broker Post-License course required for all newly licensed Florida brokers. Premier Courses' school ID is ZH1003192.
The course covers advanced brokerage topics — brokerage management, operations, and the responsibilities that come with running a real estate office — and concludes with the FREC-required end-of-course exam.
All 60 hours must be completed before your first broker license renewal deadline.
Final Exam Information
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.
Completion Requirement Policy
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 broker post-licensing hours to be completed before your first license renewal deadline.
Online Course Identification Requirements
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:
- A current Florida driver's license.
- A current identification card issued by a state or U.S. government agency.
- A current passport.
The name on your identification must match the name on your course registration.
