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 LREC does not publish tuition, so compare it yourself and add the state's own fees from the Louisiana 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 Louisiana requires.
Questions people ask about Louisiana real estate schools
- Which real estate schools are approved in Louisiana?
- The LREC lists 12 providers (as read on the date shown): Adams Real Estate Institute, Bob Brooks School of Real Estate and Insurance, Inc., Bossier Parish Community College, Burk Baker School of Real Estate and Appraising, LLC, Colibri Real Estate, LLC, Delgado Community College, Donaldson Educational Services, LLC, Excel School of Real Estate and others.

- Can I take the Louisiana pre-licence course online?
- The LREC's list does not mark delivery format, so ask the provider; many national online schools appear on state lists.
