The Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission regulations require that an applicant
successfully complete a course in Real Estate Practice and Real Estate
Fundamentals before they can apply to take the State Real Estate Exam. The Real
Estate Commission requires a student attend at least 80% of the course and
receive a passing grade to receive credit for the course. The 2 courses may be
taken in any order.
Please note: The SAME TEXTBOOK is used for both the
Fundamentals and Practice courses. If you register for both courses, you can
deselect a checkbox for one of the courses. This will bring the total cost of
both 30-hour courses plus the textbook to $365.
