Important Information

• Schools have up to FIVE days to report your course(s); Students MUST provide PRELICENSE NUMBER to CES for course completion to be reported; if you’re required to take the Principles of Real Estate, your exam will not be authorized until your completion is reported.
• You cannot schedule the license exam until you receive an email from Pearson Vue (within 24 hours of your exam authorization). If you are licensed in another state, you’ll be waived from the national portion of the exam. You will still be required to take/pass the KS State Law portion of the KS Real Estate Exam. (NOTE: There are some exceptions – these are explained when you create your account with the KREC)
