every school approved by the DBR for pre-licensing or continuing education courses, in one list; the DBR does not mark which offer the 45-hour pre-licensing course. 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.

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 DBR does not publish tuition, so compare it yourself and add the state's own fees from the Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island requires.
Questions people ask about Rhode Island real estate schools
- Which real estate schools are approved in Rhode Island?
- The DBR lists 71 providers (revised September 3, 2026): 1 Attempt (aypoealestate.com), 360 Training.Com Inc., aBove Real Estate School, Anjos Realty Institute, Birchwood Credit Services, Blumen Real Estate School, Calypso Contining Education, Caputi Real Estate Education 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 Rhode Island?
- The DBR 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 Rhode Island pre-licence course online?
- The DBR's list does not mark delivery format, so ask the provider; many national online schools appear on state lists.
- How many hours is the Rhode Island pre-licence course?
- 48 hours (45 hours plus a 3-hour lead hazard course), per the DBR. The Rhode Island guide on this site has the full requirements, cost and exam details.
