New Jersey Real Estate School — Get Licensed in 75 Hours

To qualify for a New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson license, you must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or equivalent, complete a 75-hour pre-licensure course at a licensed school, and pass the New Jersey state examination administered by PSI. After passing the state exam, you must complete fingerprinting, secure a sponsoring broker, and apply for licensure with the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, all within one year from the last day of your pre-licensure class.

Your one-year window begins on the last scheduled day of your pre-licensure class. The course is considered complete on that date, provided you have satisfied the 20% attendance requirement. The school exam, state exam, fingerprinting, and broker sponsorship are post-course requirements that must be completed within that one-year window. Passing the school exam does not change, restart, or extend your course completion date.

Within one year from the last day of class, you must:

1. Pass the Academy's school exam

2. Pass the New Jersey state exam administered by PSI

3. Complete fingerprinting through the state-designated vendor

4. Secure a sponsoring broker

5. Apply for licensure through the New Jersey Real Estate Commission

The one-year clock does not pause, extend, or restart for any reason, including delays in scheduling exams, failing the school exam, or personal circumstances.

If you do not complete all five requirements within one year from the last day of class, your original course enrollment expires. You must re-enroll and complete the full 75-hour pre-licensure course again at the then-current tuition rate. There are no extensions, partial credits, or exceptions, regardless of how close you are to completing the remaining requirements.

After you pass the Academy's school exam, the Academy will submit your eligibility to PSI. You can then register online for the state exam through PSI, select a date and location, and sit for the exam. A passing score of 70% or higher is required. You may retake the state exam as needed, with an additional exam fee per attempt. PSI submission does not extend your one-year licensing window, which began on the last day of class.

Students have unlimited attempts at the school exam within the one-year window. Fees depend on your plan: Pro Plan students have all attempts included; Starter Plan students pay a $15 proctoring fee per attempt. A passing score of 70% or higher is required to pass.

You can retake the state exam in accordance with PSI's testing center availability. Each retake is subject to PSI's exam fee. If you do not pass the state exam and complete all five licensing requirements within one year from the last day of class, you must re-enroll and complete the full 75-hour pre-licensure course again at the then-current tuition rate.

After passing the state exam, you must complete fingerprinting through the state-designated vendor, secure a sponsoring broker, and submit your license application to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission — all within your one-year window from the last day of class.

Newly licensed agents are independent contractors and may interview with any licensed real estate brokerage in New Jersey. We recommend interviewing with at least three different brokerages before making a decision. Your sponsoring broker is the brokerage you will hang your license with once you are licensed.

If you are a licensed Broker or Salesperson in another state, a disabled veteran, an attorney, have taken college-level real estate courses, or hold a degree in real estate, you may qualify for an education waiver. To request a waiver package, please contact us directly.
