Real estate classes teach students the ins and outs of doing business as a real estate agent. Courses can be taken both in the classroom and online with video presentations that teach the legal documentation methods required to become a licensed agent. Property classes are led by instructors who know the market inside and out, these professionals are practicing agents who have first-hand experience of the material they present in the classes.
These classes cover approximately 30 hours of material and are taught on campuses throughout the county. Although the basic information contained in the classes is similar from state to state and region to region, each state has its own licensing requirements. Property classes prepare students for state and national licensing exams, so some of the real estate classes will be specific to the state in which they are taught. If a licensed real estate agent moves from one state to another, they must pass the state exam in the new state they move to in order to practice as a licensed professional.
Review of the state exam material can be done through a few hours of state licensing exam review work in classes that are certified coaches within the state. Because the total hours of property classes is around 30, depending on each state, a student who works part-time while attending real estate classes can complete the required course work and take the licensing exams at approximately six to eight weeks. Students who commit to attending real estate classes full time can expect to finish course work in as little as three to four weeks.
