License application process

The process to make application to the state of Florida for the Initial License process is the following:

1. Cooke School recommends that, if at all possible, as soon as the student decides to take the sales associate license course, the student should make their application to the state of Florida.  This can be accomplished by doing it on-line or printing the application out, having it notarized and mailing the application in with a check. The school recommends students make the application on-line, because it is faster and the student can attest to the facts without having to have the document notarized,  saving time and money. Students can make the application payment on-line by credit card.

3. Every Reading Comprehension Quiz needs to be completed with a score of 100. Each Unit Exam Quiz needs to be completed with a minimum score of 90%. This is the most important part of the course, because as the student works through these modules it demonstrates mastery of the course.

5. The only portion of the On-Line course that is actually timed is the final exam.
