He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The total pre-license education requirement in Texas is 180 hours, divided into six specific 30-hour courses. - The six mandatory courses are Principles of Real Estate I & II, Law of Agency, Law of Contracts, Promulgated Contract Forms, and Real Estate Finance. - Exam questions test knowledge of the specific required courses, not just the 180-hour total, often using scenario-based questions. - Only courses from providers officially approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) will satisfy the education requirements. - The initial 180 pre-license hours are distinct from the Sales Agent Apprentice Education (SAE) required for your first license renewal.
