Can You Get Your Arizona Real Estate License Online?

Last Update: January 18, 2022

Can You Get Your Arizona Real Estate License Online? Finally, as of 2019 the answer became yes.

With the coming of the new year, also came Arizona’s new legal approval to teach the “real estate salesperson pre-license course” online. That’s the technical course name but what it really means is that you can take all 90 hours of real estate agent education to become a real estate agent, on your computer!

(Though the school’s final exam must still be taken in person, minus a brief temporary approval during the peak of covid-19, which has since expired.)

This took a huge burden off of people with full time schedules due to work and family obligations. Now 24/7, 365 days a year, you can work towards your AZ real estate license in your free time.

What’s more, the new rules still did not permit the state required 6 hour Contract Writing Course (CWC) to be taken online/on demand. With the onset of the covid-19 pandemic and most schools closing their classrooms, instructors began teaching the course in a host remote (virtual video) format.

This was great, but still required the student to attend on certain dates and times. That all changed though in 2020 when the online/on demand format was approved for the CWC as well.

So, long story short, yes you may now take the full 90 hours of state required AZ salesperson education online and on your own schedule, along with the 6 hour CWC. What still requires an in person appearance though for all Arizona real estate schools, is the school final exam and of the course the actual state Salesperson licensing exam taken at an approved testing center.
