How do I get an Arizona real estate license?
There are four steps to earn your Arizona real estate license: 1. Complete a 90-hour ADRE-approved pre-licensing course.

This includes the pre-licensing course tuition, the state exam fee (approximately $75 per attempt), the ADRE license application fee (approximately $60), and fingerprinting (approximately $67). Fees are subject to change — visit the ADRE website for the most current fee schedule.

Other schools' individual rates not independently published. Our students consistently outperform the state average on the Arizona real estate licensing exam — a result of our comprehensive coursework and dedicated exam prep resources.
