1The Commission's approved providers, A to Z

every school whose candidates sat the salesperson exam in the year, as named in the Commission's pass and fail report; the Commission's live school list is in its course search system. Where the board prints a city, delivery format or website it is shown; where it does not, the cell is blank rather than filled from elsewhere.

2Exam pass rates by school, July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

The Commission publishes how each school's candidates did on the salesperson exam. Sorted by number of candidates, because a rate from a handful of candidates says little; the note under the table is the board's own caution.

3How to choose between them

• Check the board's list first. Approval lapses and new providers are added; the board's page linked above is current on the day you look, this page on the date shown.
• Format. Classroom, live online and self-paced online courses all satisfy the requirement where the board approves them, but they suit different people; a self-paced course with no deadline is where most people stall.
• Exam preparation. The course teaches the syllabus; passing the exam is a separate skill. Ask whether practice exams are included and whether the school publishes its pass rate, then compare that claim with the board's table above.
• Price. The Commission does not publish tuition, so compare it yourself and add the state's own fees from the Hawaii guide.
• Post-licence and CE. Some states require a course in the first year; a school that also teaches that saves a second search. The guide says what Hawaii requires.
