FAQ
What is the 63-hour Sales Associate Prelicense Course?
This is the Florida Real Estate Commission-approved education required for most applicants seeking an initial Florida real estate sales associate license. The course covers the laws, principles, practices, calculations, and responsibilities associated with Florida real estate. Florida defines the course as 63 classroom hours of 50 minutes each, inclusive of the end-of-course examination.
Who may enroll?
Students preparing for Florida sales associate licensure may enroll. To qualify for the license, an applicant must generally:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Hold a high school diploma or equivalent
- Possess a United States Social Security number
- Meet Florida’s character and background requirements
These are licensing qualifications. Blu Street Academy may allow a student to begin the course before the student submits the DBPR license application.
Do I need to apply to DBPR before taking the course?
No. The course is not required at the time the license application is submitted, and an applicant may apply for state-examination approval before completing the course. However, proof of valid course completion is required before sitting for the state examination.
How long is the course?
The course consists of 63 classroom hours of 50 minutes each, including the end-of-course examination. That equals 3,150 instructional minutes. Breaks, meals, registration, and other noninstructional periods are not counted toward the required hours.
Blu Street Academy’s daytime schedule?
The planned Early-Day Cohort meets:
Monday through Friday for two weeks
7:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m.
Is this an in-person or livestream course?
Blu Street Academy has 12 seats available in Orlando. Other attendees will attend via live steam for each session. Either way, all hours will be accounted for Florida Real Estate Compliance.Â
For livestream attendance, students must have dependable internet access, a working camera and microphone, and a suitable learning environment.
Must I attend every class?
Students are expected to attend the full published schedule. Under Florida’s prelicensing rule, a satisfactory completion notice may not be issued when a classroom student’s absences exceed the permitted amount established by the rule and the approved course format.
Florida law provides that a notice of satisfactory completion may not be issued to a prelicense student who has absences in excess of eight classroom hours. For the 63-hour Sales Associate Prelicense Course, each classroom hour consists of 50 minutes of instruction. Therefore, eight classroom hours equal 400 instructional minutes.
Students are expected to attend the full published schedule. Blu Street Academy records attendance by instructional minutes.Â
A student who misses more than 400 instructional minutes may not receive a notice of satisfactory course completion, even when the student passes the end-of-course examination.
What happens when I arrive late?
Late time is recorded as missed instructional time. Repeated lateness or early departure can place a student’s course completion at risk. Students should be seated, signed in, and ready to begin before the scheduled start time.
For a 7:45 a.m. class, students should plan to arrive or log in early enough to complete attendance verification before instruction begins.
Is there a Course Exam?
The 100 question end-of-course examination is included within the required 63 classroom hours. Students must satisfy the attendance requirements and pass the approved examination to receive a course-completion certificate.
A student must earn at least 70% on the end-of-course examination.
What happens if I do not pass the school examination?
Under Rule 61J2-3.008(6), Florida Administrative Code, a student who fails the Commission-prescribed end-of-course examination must wait at least 30 days from the date of the original examination before retesting.
The student may retest one time within one year of the original examination. Blu Street Academy must administer a different approved examination form for the retest.
When the student does not pass the permitted retest, or does not retest within the applicable one-year period, the student must repeat the prelicense course before becoming eligible to take the end-of-course examination again.
Is the school examination the same as the state examination?
No.
The school examination is administered by Blu Street Academy to determine whether the student successfully completed the prelicense course.
The state examination is a separate licensing examination administered after DBPR approves the applicant. Florida currently uses Pearson VUE for the computer-based sales associate examination.
Does passing the course guarantee that I will pass the state examination?
No. Passing the course establishes successful completion of the education requirement. It does not guarantee:
- DBPR approval of the license application
- Approval of the applicant’s background
- Passage of the state examination
- Issuance of a Florida real estate license
- Employment or affiliation with a broker
How long is my course-completion certificate valid?
The 63-hour prelicense course completion is valid for two years from the date of completion. An expired completion certificate will not be accepted for admission to the state examination.
Are fingerprints required?
Yes, fingerprinting and a background check are part of the Florida licensing process. DBPR instructs applicants to submit the license application before completing electronic fingerprinting through an FDLE-approved Livescan provider.
Can I take the course when I have a criminal or disciplinary history?
A history involving arrests, convictions, professional discipline, license denials, or other regulatory matters does not automatically mean that the person cannot enroll in the course. DBPR and FREC determine licensing eligibility.
Applicants should answer all application questions truthfully and provide any documents requested by DBPR. Course enrollment or completion does not guarantee license approval. Florida law requires applicants to meet character and fitness standards.
Is anyone exempt from the 63-hour course?
An applicant holding a four-year degree or higher in real estate may qualify for an education exemption. DBPR determines the exemption after reviewing an original certified transcript.
Active members in good standing with The Florida Bar may also have statutory or regulatory exemptions applicable to certain real estate education requirements. Eligibility should be confirmed directly with DBPR before relying on an exemption.
What technology is required for a livestream cohort?
Students should have:
- A desktop or laptop computer
- Reliable high-speed internet
- A working camera
- A working microphone and speakers
- A charging connection
- A quiet and appropriately lit learning area
- Access to the designated livestream platform
- The ability to remain visible and identifiable during class
A mobile phone alone may not provide a dependable or acceptable full-course learning setup.
What should I bring to class?
Students should bring or have access to:
- Government-issued photo identification
- Required course materials
- Notebook and writing materials
- Approved calculator
- Charged computer and power supply for livestream delivery
- Water and any permitted personal items
