HOW COURSES WORK

The Chamberlin online courses will better prepare you to take and pass the California State Examination as compared to traditional home-study offerings. Sample questions similar to those you will encounter on the state exam are drawn from a database and distributed throughout the courses.
These online courses use the same high quality content you would expect from a college level textbook. The content is then delivered  through an engaging and interactive format.

Common Questions

Age – You must be 18 years of age or older to be issued a license.

Residence – A California resident and no paperwork is required. If you are an out-of-state resident, you need to fill out a Consent to Service of Process From (RE 234) with the California Department of Real Estate.

Honesty – Applicants must be honest and truthful. Conviction of a crime may result in the denial of a license.

The minimum time to complete courses according to the Department of Real Estate (DRE) is 18 calendar days per course.  The minimum time to complete three courses would 54 days from your enrollment date.

The Department of Real Estate (DRE) allows you to take a final exam 18 calendar days after enrollment. Three courses are required, so the minimum time to complete all three would be 54 days. 

After three courses are complete, an application must be submitted to the DRE to take the state exam. It can take 6-8 weeks for an application to be approved, and then you can choose a test date & time provided by the DRE.
