Once you've completed the required broker pre-licensing education you can apply for your licensing exam!

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 broker 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 Florida real estate broker! You can activate your license as a broker — opening your own brokerage or taking over an existing one — or as a broker associate working under another broker. Just remember to complete your 60-hour broker post-licensing education before your first renewal to keep your new license active!

Yes! You can complete the entire 72-hour Florida broker pre-license course online, on your own schedule, from any device.
The only parts of the licensing process that must be done in person are fingerprinting and taking the state broker exam at a Pearson VUE test center.
To qualify for a Florida real estate broker license, applicants must meet the requirements established by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Applicants must:
All applicants must also submit electronic fingerprints for a background check. You do not need to be a Florida resident to get a Florida broker license.
Once you've completed the 72-hour broker pre-license course and passed the end-of-course exam, you can apply for your broker license with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) online at www.myfloridalicense.com.
Before you apply, have your electronic fingerprints taken through an approved vendor. Once your application is approved, you'll receive authorization to schedule your state exam with Pearson VUE, Florida's testing provider.
The Florida broker exam has 100 multiple choice questions, you'll have 3.5 hours to complete it, and you need a score of 75 or higher to pass. The exam fee is $36.75 per attempt.
The biggest variable in determining the cost of a Florida broker license is which real estate school you choose for the 72-hour broker pre-license course.
There are also fees associated with the licensing process itself: a $91.75 broker application fee paid to the DBPR, a $36.75 exam fee each time you take the state exam, and a fingerprinting fee that typically runs $50 to $80 depending on the vendor.
Adding it all up, you should expect to pay roughly $180 to $210 in state and vendor fees on top of the cost of your course.
Yes! Every Premier Courses pre licensing package includes exam prep. You'll get an interactive course with quizzes and knowledge checks throughout, plus review questions and study tools to get you ready for the Florida state exam.
Yes, Premier Courses' 72-hour online Broker Pre-License course is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (School ID #ZH1003192). That means our course fulfills all of your Florida broker pre-licensing education requirements.
All applicants are required to pass the course and the end-of-course final exam before they can sit for the Florida broker 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.
Activate Your Broker License
When you pass the state exam, your broker license is issued in an inactive status. You can activate it as a broker — opening your own brokerage or taking over an existing one — or as a broker associate, working under another broker while keeping your broker credential.
Complete Your Broker Post-Licensing
Florida requires all new brokers to complete 60 hours of FREC-approved broker post-licensing education before their first license renewal. Don't put it off — if the deadline passes without completing it, your broker license becomes null and void.
Premier Courses is approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) to provide the 72-hour Broker Pre-License course required for all prospective Florida real estate brokers. Premier Courses' school ID is ZH1003192.
The 72-hour course covers brokerage management and operations, real estate appraising, investment, and financing, and concludes with the FREC-required end-of-course exam.
Once you've completed the course and passed the final exam, you'll receive your certificate of completion and be ready to apply for the Florida broker exam. Note that your course completion is valid for two years — you must pass the state exam within two years of completing the course.
The end-of-course final exam has 100 multiple choice questions. Per Florida Real Estate Commission rules, you must score 70% 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 (or more than a year passes), you'll need to retake 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.
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.
