Utah Real Estate License Course

Step 1: Complete the 120-Hour Utah Pre-license Education Course

Utah salesperson license applicants must complete an approved 120-hour pre-license course before taking the state licensing examination. The course must be taken at an approved real estate school.

The 120-hour pre-license course content covers national and state topics concerning real estate practice. Once you pass the course final, you will be issued a candidate education certifying document. You must complete your salesperson pre-license course within one year of applying for your license.

Step 2: Apply for the State Exam

Utah has contracted with PearsonVUE to administer the sales agent exam. To schedule an exam online, go to www.pearsonvue.com at least 24 hours before your desired date. Otherwise, you can schedule over the telephone by calling (801) 530-6747. The exam fee is $59 paid to PearsonVUE via credit card, debit card, voucher, or check.

Refer to the Utah Real Estate Candidate Handbook for information on examination schedules, site locations, exam security, reporting, and preparation.

A sample of these questions is also available in the candidate handbook.

If you pass the exam, you will receive instructions for applying for a Utah Sales AgentLicense.

If you fail, your score report will have diagnostic scoring information and information on reapplying.
