The Alabama Real Estate Commission requirements for getting broker’s license are listed below in the order they are to be completed:

• The first step is to determine if you are qualified. The law requires that you have had an active salesperson license for a minimum of 24 of the previous 36 months. Individuals that have experienced a criminal record should determine their eligibility prior to purchasing a broker pre-license course. It is beneficial to complete a Request for Determination of Broker Eligibility and let the real estate Commission notify you of your current status.
• The next step is to complete a 60-hour Broker Pre License Course
• Successfully pass a course final proctored exam administered by a third-party when prompted toward the end of the course. This exam is given online. The exam process is strictly between the student and the testing company. This exam consists of approximately 100 multiple choice questions and requires a passing score of 80%.
•  Upon passing the proctored exam and after we have collected all required documents from the student, we issue credit/certification to the Alabama Real Estate Commission that educational requirements have been met, which signifies completion of the course. FYI, This process must be completed prior to the course expiration date. We caution students not to procrastinate because extensions are not allowed.
• Students must take and pass the state exam within six months from the date the credit is issued, with a score of 70. We encourage students to take exams immediately while information is fresh on their mind.
