Your certificate of completion for the class is good for 18 months. You login to your class and at the bottom is the Quiz to get your certificate of completion. Every time you take the quiz you will get a new certificate with a new date. The certificate is good for 18 months from that date. The certificate for passing the test is good for 6 months. You must get your license prior to either of them expiring. Only after you get your license, you can take the required Post Licensing classes thru Royse and Associates.

All our courses are approved by the AREC (Alaska Real Estate Commission) to be given by correspondence. We have successfully put hundreds of students through our correspondence programs. You have access to the online materials or any of our classes for two years.

The Sales PreLicensing class includes more than 70 hours of video recordings that you can review at your own pace. The videos are of Jerry teaching the class so it’s just like sitting in. The extra value here is that you get to do it at your own pace in comfort wherever you can access the internet. Much of the material can be downloaded and you can then access it directly on your computer. (The videos cannot be downloaded, however.)

According to the AREC, you need to take a Post Licensing class within 1 year of the date your license became active. This applies to Salespeople as well as Associate Brokers. We suggest you take Post Licensing as soon as you get your license because there is so much valuable information in the course to assist you grow in your practice. It is different than Continuing Education (CE). Everyone needs to take CE by January 31 of even numbered years. We offer the class by on-demand correspondence. Please note: you may purchase your Sales Post Licensing class at any time. However, your certificate for the completion of Sales Post Licensing is not valid until AFTER you have received your license from the State.

Royse and Associates’ Post Licensing course is so much more than the bare minimum required by the state and so much more than other schools, without our experience, can provide. We’ll even throw in our highly acclaimed Fast Start Business Planning course. It’s a quality business planning course taken from a class jerry taught in 46 states and five countries, we offer for free as a bonus to our Post Licensing students.

We suggest you take the Sales Post Licensing class as soon after you get your license as possible, but not before you have your license, if you want to use it to fulfill your Post Licensing requirement. It will give you more training and the kind of information, forms, and best practices that will give you a step-up over the competition when you get started in your new career. Seriously, take this class asap after you get your license.

You must be an active licensee for 3 years before you can get your Broker’s license. You will start with Broker PreLicensing and then, like with getting your license, you take Post Licensing within 1 year of the date of your new license. We offer the class by On-demand correspondence.
