Step 1: Take 60-hour Pre-license Course
Your first step in the journey towards earning your license is to take 60 hours of classroom instruction in Real Estate Principles and Practices. The real estate course must be from a state approved school. Many candidates opt to take the course online for its affordability and flexibility with their schedule.
After you pass the course final exam, you will earn your course completion certificate essential for the application process.
Step 2: Submit the License Application
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has contracted with PSI to manage the licensing process. Your next step will be to submit a notarized license application with all documents, including course completion certificate, to PSI.
