A. The mandatory courses that every licensee must complete are: 60 hours in Principles (Principles I – 30 hours and Principles II – 30 hours), 30 hours in Law of Agency, and 30 hours in Law of Contracts. These four courses equal a total of 120 hours. If you are required to complete 180 hours, the courses required include the mandatory courses listed above, plus an additional 60 hours in Core and/or related courses. The additional courses that we recommend are: Math I (30 hours) and Finance I (30 hours). These courses are recommended because these subjects will be covered on the state exam.
