What is the minimum amount of real estate education required for a salesperson's license?

The minimum amount of real estate education required for a salesperson's license in Arizona is 90 hours of real estate education. This requirement is established to ensure that newly licensed salespersons have a comprehensive understanding of real estate principles, practices, and laws that govern the industry. This educational requirement includes various topics such as real estate law, ethics, financing, and property management, which are vital for effectively and responsibly operating as a real estate professional.

Other options, such as having a four-year college degree or completing 15 hours of undergraduate work, do not meet the specific standards set by the Arizona Department of Real Estate for obtaining a salesperson’s license. Additionally, the broker management clinic course is relevant for those seeking to become brokers, not for initial salesperson licensure. To uphold the integrity and competence of the profession, the state mandates a focused curriculum that covers essential knowledge and skills through the 90 hours of education.
