Effective May 1, 2011, the education requirements to be a real estate broker is 90 hours of education that must include 15 hours of interactive education. ProSchools is developing the new 90-hour program and will update the website as soon as it is available.  
 

Under the new real estate license law there is new license categories. The new license categories are:

I am a current real estate salesperson as of April 30, 2011. What do I need to do?
Current salesperson licensees must transition their license by April 30, 2012. The requirements to transition from a salesperson to a broker license are:

1. Hold an active Salesperson license on April 30, 2011.
2. Complete a 30-hour Broker Transition course or take and pass the proficiency exam. The 30-hour Broker Transition course may be taken entirely through distance education. If the proficiency exam is not passed the first time, you must complete the 30-hour Broker Transition course. Licensees who opt to complete the 30-hour Broker Transition course will not need to complete continuing education to renew for 2012.
3. Apply and pay the $125 fee to transition your license with the IDFPR by April 30, 2012.
