2How 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.
- Price. The KREC does not publish tuition, so compare it yourself and add the state's own fees from the Kentucky 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 Kentucky requires.
Questions people ask about Kentucky real estate schools
- Which real estate schools are approved in Kentucky?
- The KREC lists 33 providers (as read on the date shown): 2 My Classes LLC, Appraisal & Real Estate Career Academy, Ashland Area Board of Realtors, At Your Pace Online, Bluegrass Realtors, Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, CCIM Institute, Century Real Estate School and others. Only a course from a provider on the board's list counts toward the licence.
- What is the best real estate school in Kentucky?
- The KREC publishes no ranking or pass rate by school, and this site does not rank them either. Compare delivery format, schedule, price and whether the school includes exam preparation, then check the school is still on the board's list.
- Can I take the Kentucky pre-licence course online?
- The KREC's list does not mark delivery format, so ask the provider; many national online schools appear on state lists.
- How many hours is the Kentucky pre-licence course?
- 96 hours (96-hour course or six college credits), per the KREC. The Kentucky guide on this site has the full requirements, cost and exam details.
