Seat time

  • Seat-time: The course has a seat-time tracking system to let you know much time the student has spent on the course.  Florida's license requirement is 63 hours, but Florida does NOT require seat time for distance learning courses.   So this tracking system is ONLY for the student's benefit.
  • Non-movement of the mouse for more than 20 minutes will disengage the student from the course page.

Exams

  • Practice Exam - The last step before the end-of-course exam is the Practice Exam. This exam is NOT timed and has 100 questions. Students need to score 70% or more to move to the TIMED end-of-course exam.
  • Final Exam Preparation - To assist students in their effort to pass the required exam, Cooke Real Estate School also provides:

      • Timed End-of-Course Exam - The final exam is a timed 3-hour exam. The exam is 100 multiple-choice questions. The student must score a 70% or more on the end-of-course exam and the exam must be completed in one session.
      • Upon completing the end-of-course exam, the grade will be shown. If the student successfully passes the course exam with a score of 70% or better, access to the "Completion Certificate" is unlocked, which the student needs to print out so they can take Pearson VUE exam center when taking their state exam.
      • If the student fails the online end-of-course exam, the student has to wait at least thirty days or less than one year before the student can retake the end-of-course exam. The student is able to have access to review the course until the student takes the end-of-course exam again after the 30-day waiting period. If the student fails the second time the student will need to retake the course again and the student will need to pay the full tuition fee again. PLEASE NOTE This requirement of needing to wait 30 days to retake the end-of-course exam is a requirement according to Florida Real Estate Commission Rule 61J2-3.008.
      • If a student fails the end-of-course exam the second time, the student will need to retake the course and pay again in order to receive a completion certificate.

License Application Process

Education is good for 2 years from the completion date of the pre-licensing course.

License Application Process and Important Info for the State Exam:
The process to make an 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 or the broker license course, the student should make an application to the state. This can be accomplished by filling out the application online or printing the application out and mailing the application in with a check. Students can pay the application payment online by credit card.
    Here is the Link to the Sales Associate application process which can be done in paper or online.
  2. Complete the application as honestly as you know how. DISCLOSE ALL.
  3. The applicant's Social Security number is required on the application.
  4. The application fee to the state of Florida is $83.75 for a Salesperson and $91.75 for Broker.
  5. All license applicants must have their fingerprints taken to be approved to take the state exam. The total fee charged to complete this process varies by each vendor but at Pearson VUE locations the fee is $49.91, but reservations are necessary, call 1-877-238-8232. Here is the important "Electronic Fingerprinting Information" for all students to read. Pearson VUE has centers for fingerprinting and exam locations all over Florida: The link to locations are on the right side of the website.

  7. Where do I get the ORI number to submit to the fingerprint vendor? The following professions require the submission of electronic fingerprints as a part of the licensure application. The ORI number identifies the correct profession and the agency that is responsible for processing your request. The ORI numbers are indicated next to each profession. Real Estate Sales and Brokers - FL920010Z
  8. In scheduling the state exam, students MUST have their Entity Number. The nine-digit Entity Number is located on the letter of approval that students will obtain from the DBPR regarding being approved to take the State Exam.
