Prepare for the education stage of pursuing an Illinois real estate broker license. Illinois Broker Academy offers prelicensing courses, including a 75-hour online package and its listed course components.
The standard Illinois broker prelicensing education requirement is 75 hours, subject to current state rules and any applicable exceptions. This education is one step in the licensing process: completing a course is distinct from passing the licensing examination, applying for a license, and becoming eligible to practice.
The academy’s catalog includes the Illinois 60-hour Broker Topics/Agent Course and the Illinois 15-hour Broker Applied Principles Interactive course, as well as a 75-hour online broker course package. Review the course details to understand what each option covers and how the package is structured.
Prelicensing education is for people preparing to pursue an Illinois broker license, including first-time students and career changers. If you are comparing real estate schools or real estate classes in Illinois, start by confirming that the course aligns with your licensing path and learning preferences. Course format and catalog details are provided on each course page.
The 75-hour requirement describes education, not the entire process of obtaining a real estate license. After completing the applicable education, candidates must address examination and licensing steps with the appropriate state authorities. See the steps to get an Illinois real estate license for an overview of what follows.
Compare the 75-hour online package with its individual 60-hour and 15-hour course pages. Check the published details before enrolling, and confirm current education requirements and licensing procedures with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR).
