Terrific class. We had an enthusiastic, engaging instructor in Barb Laws, and a weekend schedule that caters to those of us who work during the week. Haven't taken the license exam yet, but key concepts are hard-wired into my brain because of the targeted repetition and I feel well prepared. They were also very accommodating of my schedule, allowing me to take Modules 1 and 2 on slightly different schedules. Highly recommend.
Matthew VolzThe Idaho Online Real Estate Academy was convenient, educational, informative, and prepared me to pass the state and national exams on my first try! The instructor was wonderful! Highly recommend!!
- Cassandra Lysiak
The instructor is very knowledgeable and has real life advice for when you get your license and become an agent. The class material was very easy to follow and understand. The Zoom option for weekend classes is great when you have a 9-5 job. I feel very prepared for the state/national exam.
Todd ChristensenThe course is offered virtually with a live instructor who is engaging, caring, and has a wealth of experience to share with the students. This is not a self-guided course, so you need to be present, on camera, and ready to respond at any time. So much more convenient than having to travel 30 or 90 minutes to attend a course 5 times a week. And it probably kept my attention better than if I had just been a physical body in a seat.
- Greg Vanderford
This is an excellent way to get qualified for or do continuing education for real estate. Whether you want to become an agent or are looking to get some credits to renew your license, there's no better place to do it, in my opinion, than at the Idaho Online Real Estate Academy.

No, Idaho does not require a college degree to get a real estate license. The highest education requirement is a high school diploma or GED. As long as you have completed high school (or equivalent), you can pursue a real estate license in Idaho. The key education you must complete is the 90 hours of Idaho real estate pre-licensing courses. These specialized real estate classes will teach you what you need to know to pass the exam and practice as an agent. Many successful real estate agents start their careers with only a high school education plus the required real estate coursework. So don’t worry – a college degree is not needed to launch a real estate career in Idaho!

A self-paced online class is fully on your schedule, where you're clicking through content and taking end of chapter quizzes. You can ask questions and the instructor will reply by e-mail.
In the livestream online classes, you're in a Zoom class with other students and have a live instructor who is teaching you in an engaging way. You'll have a textbook and be able to ask questions in real time. There are fixed class times that you will need to be able to attend for this option.
Please contact us directly to better understand your situation.
Getting an Idaho real estate license involves five main steps:
Meet the basic state requirements: You must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, and be legally allowed to work in the U.S.. (Idaho does not require any college degree for real estate licensing – a high school education is sufficient.)
Complete the required pre-license education: Enroll in an Idaho-approved real estate school and finish the 90 hours of pre-licensing courses (two courses called Module 1 and Module 2, 45 hours each). You must take Module 1 first, then Module 2. These classes can be taken in person, via live online Zoom sessions, or through self-paced online courses. You’ll need to pass a final exam at the end of each course with at least 70%.
Register for fingerprinting and the licensing exam: Create an account with the Idaho Real Estate Commission (IREC) and schedule your fingerprinting. Fingerprints are submitted through Pearson VUE for a background check (processing can take a few weeks). Next, sign up for the Idaho Salesperson Licensing Exam with Pearson VUE. The exam includes a national portion and an Idaho state-specific portion.
Pass the Idaho real estate exam: Take the salesperson exam on your scheduled date at a Pearson VUE testing center. The exam has 80 national questions and 40 Idaho-specific questions, and you need a minimum score of 70% on each section to pass (that’s getting at least 56/80 on the national and 28/40 on the state portion correct). You will receive your score report immediately. If you happen to fail one or both sections, you can retake the exam; you’ll only need to retake the section you failed (and pay the exam fee again for each attempt). Idaho allows multiple retakes, but you must pass both portions within 12 months of completing your courses.
Submit your license application: Once you have passed the exam and your fingerprints/background check are processed, you can apply for your Idaho real estate salesperson license. You’ll fill out the Idaho Salesperson License Application form (which needs to be notarized), and provide required documents: your course completion certificates for Modules 1 & 2, proof of high school/GED, proof of legal US presence, and your exam score report. There is a $160 application fee to be paid to the Idaho Real Estate Commission. You can mail in the application or in some cases deliver it in person or email (follow the instructions on the form).
After the Commission processes your paperwork and everything is approved, you will be issued an Idaho real estate salesperson license. Initially this license will be in an “inactive” status (not tied to any brokerage) until you take the final step of associating with a broker.
(Optional) Choose a broker to activate your license: In Idaho, newly licensed salespersons must work under a licensed real estate broker to actively practice real estate. Your license can remain inactive if you don’t have a broker, but you won’t be able to list or sell property for others. It’s a good idea to interview brokerages while you’re finishing your courses or after passing your exam. Once you decide on a brokerage, the broker will help you submit the paperwork to “hang” or activate your license under their supervision. (Each brokerage may have additional onboarding steps, training, or office fees, so consider what environment is the best fit for starting your career.)
