Learn about the Arizona education requirements for real estate licensing and renewal.

Licensing Board/Commission: Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE)

Arizona Real Estate Education Requirements:

• Arizona real estate salesperson license: 90 hours of in-classroom real estate salesperson pre-license education
• Arizona real estate broker license: 90 hours of in-classroom real estate salesperson pre-license education
• Final Exams: Your final course exam must be proctored for qualifying education

State Reciprocity:

Arizona is a non-reciprocal state (see Substantive Policy Statement No. 2008.01). That means, even if you hold a real estate license in another state, your education requirements are the same as those of anyone else becoming a real estate agent in Arizona.

• Renew their licenses every two years from the date their licenses are issued
• Arizona salespersons must take 24 hours of real estate CE, including: 
• 3 hours of agency law
• 3 hours of contract law
• 3 hours of communication standards

• 3 hours of fair housing
• 3 hours of real estate legal issues
