PENNSYLVANIA STATE REQUIREMENT DETAILS FOR REAL ESTATE BROKER PRE-LICENSING EDUCATION

Hours Required by the State: 240 hours

Licensing Exam: The licensing exam is administered by Pearson. Registration for the state licensing exam is an entirely separate process from proctoring for your course final exam. For instructions to register for your state licensing exam and further information, please click here.

Provider Approval Number: RU003247

The CE Shop’s Offering: 240 hours

Reporting: The state does not require schools to report course completions. Students will submit their certificate of completion with their license application.

Expiration Date of Course: The CE Shop’s Pre-Licensing courses expire six months after the date of purchase. Each student will be granted a one-month extension at no charge, to be applied immediately after the initial six-month term. For any reactivation or extension of the course after the seventh month, The CE Shop will charge the student 20% of the current retail price of the course for each 30-day extension or partial 30-day extension in the event that the course finally terminates before the end of the final 30-day extension. Students may also elect to re-enroll for 50% of the current retail price of the course, if the course has hit the year expiration or the student is at the 7 month mark and wants to repurchase and restart the course and enrollment. Extensions or reactivations cannot be granted beyond 12 months from the purchase of the course since, in all events, the course terminates 12 months after purchase.

Certificates: Immediately upon course completions, The CE Shop will provide students with an electronic copy of the course certificate of completion. Certificates will remain in your account for a minimum of five years, should you need additional copies at a later time. Please refer to your application to determine if you need to submit your certificate(s) of completion. Course completion dates are recorded using Central Standard Time. Please note that the date on your certificate of completion will reflect this.

Proctored Final Exam: The state requires your final exam to be proctored. You’ll need to schedule an appointment with a proctor in advance. You can find full details of the proctoring process here. Upon passing the final course exam, you will be asked to sign an affidavit verifying your identity as the student who completed the course and the final course exam. Final exams must be passed with a minimum of 70%.

Seat Time: It is required that all students spend a minimum amount of seat time engaged in the course content. Our online course delivery system manages this requirement for you.

Broker Price Opinion (BPO): Pennsylvania requires that a licensee who wishes to prepare a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) must first complete initial education. A salesperson may not prepare a broker price opinion unless the salesperson has held an active license for 3 years.

The Commission has approved the following broker prelicensure courses to satisfy the initial education requirement: Valuation of residential property, Valuation of income-producing property, Basic appraisal principles, and Basic appraisal procedures. Additionally, thereafter, for each future BPO, a 3-hour BPO continuing education course must be completed during the current or immediately preceding 2-year license period. The CE Shop does not currently offer a BPO CE course.
