Common Questions Answered About Getting a Real Estate License
Here at Donaldson Educational Services, we field thousands of inquiries each year on how to get a real estate license and the various options one might have in accomplishing that goal. In this post, we hope to answer a few of the most commonly asked questions to help guide you in the right direction as you make the important decision to move into the world of real estate!
How Many Hours Do I Need?
Various states have certain educational requirements, so we will use our home state of Louisiana as a guide. In Louisiana, you need 90 hours of pre-license education in order to qualify for a real estate license. Therefore, the first step for all real estate hopefuls is real estate school here at Donaldson! These 90 hours must be from a certified educational provider in Louisiana, and you will have to complete a real estate licensing program in order to receive a course certificate.

What Are My Options for Real Estate School?
Easy! You can choose to take your real estate license education either in the classroom (traditional style) or with online courses (web courses). Here at Donaldson, we offer real estate licensing courses both ways and you can choose which method makes the most sense for you!
