How it works
From signing up to sitting for the state exam
Four steps from here to the state exam — and the first one takes about five minutes.
Register & pay
$395 online. You'll get your Zoom class link right away — no waiting for a semester to start.
Attend 20 sessions
Three hours each, morning or evening, five days a week. Attend live on camera to earn credit for the session.
Pass the course exam
Online, multiple choice, untimed. Score 70% or better and you're through.
Sit for the state exam
We issue your certificate. You have one year from that date to test with the State of Connecticut.
The schedule
Two classes a day. Pick whichever one you can make.
Morning and evening sessions cover identical material, so you're never locked into one. Work a day shift? Come at night. Kids in school? Come in the morning. Attend one session per day, either one.
The course runs on a rotating monthly cycle. Miss class 12 and you can catch it next month at no charge, or take a $25 weekend makeup session.
Morning session
9:00am – 12:00pm
Monday through Friday, live on Zoom
Evening session
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Monday through Friday, live on Zoom
Weekend makeups

The NESRE difference
Innovation, technology, and quality programming
We built this school because the old way of getting licensed in Connecticut was slower and stiffer than it needed to be.
230+ graduates since April 2025 · 5.0 stars from 31 Google reviews · Taught by working CT agents and brokers
State-of-the-art online platform
Live classes, study materials, practice exams, and interactive quizzes — on whatever device you already carry.
Instructors who still sell
Every instructor is a working Connecticut real estate professional. You learn what the exam asks and what the job actually looks like.
Accelerated learning
Two classes per day, five days a week. Finish the mandatory 60 hours in under a month instead of dragging it out over a season.
Connecticut licensing
What it takes to get licensed in Connecticut
To become a licensed real estate salesperson in Connecticut you must be at least 18 years old, complete a 60-hour Principles and Practices course from an approved school, pass that course's final exam, and then pass the Connecticut state licensing exam.
There are no other prerequisites — no degree, no prior experience. Most students plan on roughly $2,500–$4,000 for their first year all in, covering education, state licensing fees, board dues, and startup business costs.
Live instruction is required by law. The CT Department of Consumer Protection requires you to be present and actively participating — on camera, with a microphone — for the full three hours to receive credit. Any school offering a fully self-paced 60-hour course isn't following the rule.

Questions
The things everyone asks first
How quickly can I really finish?
Twenty sessions. If you attend every weekday, that's four weeks. Attend both a morning and evening class in the same day? Not permitted — one session per day, since both cover the same material.
What does it cost, all in?
Tuition is $395. Books are separate and can be purchased digitally, physically, or both. You don't need the books in hand to start class.
What if I miss a class?
Two options: wait for that same class number to come around again next month at no charge, or register for a weekend makeup session at $25. Makeup sessions are posted on the class calendar.
Is the class live or self-paced?
Live, via Zoom — the state requires it. You need to be stationary, on camera, with microphone access, and present for the full three hours to get credit for the session.
Your first class could be tomorrow morning.
