Real Estate Classes by State

Compare pre-license real estate classes in every U.S. jurisdiction: required hours, typical course cost, exam provider, and the main online schools (McKissock, The CE Shop, Colibri, Kaplan).

Each state page also explains what those classes do not teach: how to buy, finance, and hold commercial real estate without a license.

What are the best real estate classes for beginners?

The best class depends on your state board. McKissock and The CE Shop sell license coursework. University of Success® publishes the official hours for your state and the investing alternative if your goal is ownership, not commissions.
