Time To Complete
Since our courses are done by home-study, how quickly you complete the program is up to you. However, the California Department of Real Estate has certain minimum time of completion guidelines:
Minimum Time Needed
The minimum time to complete courses according to the Department of Real Estate (DRE) is 18 calendar days per course from the date you receive your material.
Finish all three courses in only 54 Days!
Number of Courses

Maximum Time Allowed
The maximum time allowed for completion of your course is 1 year from the date of enrollment. Completion of the course means taking and passing the course final examination.
Once you have successfully completed the qualifying pre-license course final exams, you will receive an email with your official Course Completion Certificate along with a link to download the state examination application. From the day you mail your application to the DRE, it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks for DRE processing and to get a state exam test date. This waiting period can vary depending on how many applicants are applying for the state exam at any given time.
