How Much Does the Florida Real Estate Pre-License Course Cost?
Florida sets no statewide price for the pre-license course - FREC regulates the requirement, not the price, and each school sets its own tuition. This page shows the range this site has actually confirmed, the government fees layered on top, and where per-provider pricing is not yet confirmed rather than guessed at.
How Much Does the Florida Real Estate Pre-License Course Cost?
Published 63-hour Course I package prices this site has confirmed range from $69 (RealEstateU, a promotional rate) to $799 (Gold Coast Schools, a classroom Ultimate Learning tier), with most online self-paced packages expected to fall somewhere between those two points.
That range comes from this site's own source dossier, not from a live per-school price sweep performed for this page, so treat it as a starting expectation rather than a quote; confirm the current price directly on the school's own enrollment page before paying.
What Do FREC-Approved Schools Charge for the 63-Hour Course?
This site has confirmed only two specific 63-hour price points (RealEstateU's $69 promotional rate and Gold Coast Schools' $799 classroom tier); pricing for AceableAgent, Colibri Real Estate, and 360training's own 63-hour packages is not itemized in this site's source dossier.
| School | 63-Hour Course Price | Affiliate Program | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| RealEstateU | $69 (promotional rate observed) | None confirmed | Named for range context only |
| Gold Coast Schools | $799 (Ultimate Learning, classroom) | None confirmed | Named for range context only |
| AceableAgent | UNCONFIRMED - see the provider's own current price | ACTIVE-DIRECT, 50% CPS | This site earns a commission on this link |
| Colibri Real Estate | UNCONFIRMED - see the provider's own current price | JOIN-READY, 10-25% tiered | This site earns a commission on this link |
| 360training | UNCONFIRMED - see the provider's own current price | JOIN-READY, 15% | This site earns a commission on this link |
This site earns a commission if you enroll through the three linked schools above; see Affiliate Disclosure. That relationship does not change which price range this page reports, and it does not change the fact that this site has not independently priced those three schools' own 63-hour packages.
Are There Separate DBPR Fees on Top of the Course Price?
Yes, but they are paid by schools and CE providers to DBPR, not billed to students directly: a $104 biennial real estate school permit fee and, for non-school CE providers only, an $80-per-course fee every 24 months.
Neither fee appears as a line item on a student's enrollment invoice; they are the regulatory cost of a school or provider keeping its approval current under Fla. Stat. Section 475.451, and schools are expected to build that cost into tuition rather than pass it through as a separate charge. See Approved Providers for what a current DBPR school permit actually means.
What Does the Florida Real Estate State Exam Cost?
The Pearson VUE state exam fee has been observed at $36.75 per sitting on a provider's own cost breakdown, cross-checked against other providers' FAQ content, though not independently confirmed against a fetched DBPR fee schedule.
Fingerprinting is confirmed separately: Florida has required electronic fingerprinting for every real estate sales associate applicant since 2006, and the fingerprint processing fee is $36, payable to DBPR (see Requirements for the full process).
The current DBPR RE 1 Sales Associate Application fee is $62.75, confirmed by a direct fetch of DBPR's own live application form on 2026-09-19, superseding the older $20 figure this page previously carried from an aged 2016 rulemaking document. The form itself states "Fee: $62.75. Make check payable to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation." This replaces the earlier unconfirmed $20 initial-application figure; the $64 biennial figure from the same 2016 document was not re-confirmed this pass and is not repeated here. See State Exam for the exam process itself.
What Does Continuing Education Cost After You Are Licensed?
Florida's 14-hour continuing education requirement, due every 2-year renewal cycle after the first post-license renewal, has been priced elsewhere in this research corpus at roughly $19 for a single topic course up to $190 for a year of unlimited CE.
CE is a separate purchase from the pre-license course this site is built around; see Post-License for how the pre-license, post-license, and CE stages connect, and where The CE Shop and McKissock fit into the CE-specific market.
How Do You Avoid Overpaying for the Pre-License Course?
Compare the actual 63-hour package price, not a school's advertised "starting at" figure, and confirm the course is approved for the delivery mode (self-paced, livestream, or classroom) you actually intend to use before paying.
A lower headline price sometimes excludes the school's own final exam retake fee or a printed textbook add-on; read the school's own cart page in full before checking out, since this site compares published starting prices, not fully itemized final checkout totals.

Frequently asked questions
Does Florida charge a fixed statewide price for the pre-license course?
No. FREC sets the hour requirement, not the price; each FREC-approved school sets its own tuition, which is why prices in the confirmed range vary by hundreds of dollars.
Why don't you list AceableAgent's, Colibri's, or 360training's exact 63-hour price?
This site's source dossier records those three schools' pre-license pricing as unconfirmed rather than pulling a number from memory; check the school's own current price before enrolling.
Is the Pearson VUE exam fee paid once or every attempt?
This site has not confirmed whether the $36.75 figure applies per sitting or per unique application; confirm directly with Pearson VUE or DBPR before scheduling a retake.
Do I pay the $104 school permit fee or the $80 provider fee as a student?
No. Both are paid by the school or CE provider to DBPR to keep its own approval current, not billed to students as a separate line item.
Is continuing education included in the pre-license course price?
No. CE is a separate, later purchase due only after your first license renewal; see Post-License for when that requirement starts.
