Course Requirements for Pre-license and Broker Course
There are several different criteria that must be met to qualify and sit for your Georgia Salesperson or Georgia Broker exam. Here are the required qualifications according to the Georgia Real Estate Commission:
Georgia State Licensure Requirements
Georgia Law requires that an applicant for a salesperson's license must: (1) complete a course or courses totaling a minimum of 75 hours covering the state-mandated curriculum, (2) pass a state examination with a score of 72% or better, (3) be at least 18 years of age, and (4) be a high school graduate or the holder of a GED.
Georgia Law requires that an applicant for a salesperson's license must also obtain, at the applicant's expense, a certified criminal history report issued by the Georgia Crime Information Center of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, indicating whether the applicant has any record of criminal history.
This report may be obtained through your local police department for a nominal fee no more than 60 days prior to picking up your license.
