As we stated on the previous screen, California Real Estate Law requires that every applicant for a real estate broker license must have successfully completed eight courses before taking the licensing exam. The courses are broken into two groups – the “mandatory courses” and the “elective courses.” Following are the five MANDATORY COURSES:

1. Real Estate Practice
2. Legal Aspects of Real Estate
3. Real Estate Financing
4. Real Estate Appraisal
5. Accounting OR Real Estate Economics

The following screen contains a list of ELECTIVE COURSES. In addition to taking the preceding five courses, a broker applicant must take three more courses, chosen from the list on the next screen, to fulfill the educational requirements.

NOTE: If the applicant completes both Accounting and Economics as listed in number 5, then only two courses from the electives list are required.
