Individual Vendor policies differ so see them for full details on time restraints.

Signed Course Certification Statement

The Georgia Real Estate Commission requires that you certify that you have personally completed each module of a distance learning course and any written exercise or assessment required for completion of the course. You must provide a signed Affidavit Statement to the school before scheduling any course examination and before the school may certify your completion in any course. The school will not process your course completion without your submitting an initialed certification form. This form is available online and you will electronically submit this to your school when you have completed all required modules of the course. This form will appear on your homepage once you have completed the course lessons.

Course Final Examinations

The Real Estate Commission requires that a student successfully pass a proctored final examination for each sales prelicense (75 hours); broker prelicense (60 hours) and sales postlicense (25 hours) course. Barney Fletcher Schools requires that you answer correctly a minimum of 75% of the total questions on a final examination to pass the course. No proctored final examination is required for any continuing education course of 24 hours or less.

You may take a course final examination only after completing all other assignments for a course and only after the school has received your signed affidavit statement. You must contact a school administrator to schedule a final examination. Examinations for distance learning courses are administered once a week (Wednesdays at 9:00am and Thursdays at 12:30pm) at our testing center at the Galleria/75 location in Atlanta, Georgia. Course examinations may not be administered at any other site without the prior authorization of the School Director.

If you do not pass the course final examination, Barney Fletcher Schools will provide you at no charge an opportunity to pass a second, separate examination. You must score a minimum of 75% correct to pass the second examination. If you do not pass the second exam, the Georgia Real Estate Commission requires that you retake the course a second time. The school will provide you a discount on a vendor course OR you may enroll in our online course (or switch to in-class) for no fee up to one year from the date of the second exam.

Course Completion Records

Barney Fletcher Schools will submit your successful completion of a course to the Commission for Prelicense, Postlicense and Continuing Education courses through secure Internet transmission programs. Normally the school does not issue paper course completion certificates. If you require a paper certificate from the school for another state’s requirements or for some other purpose, you must contact a school administrator prior to your completing the course. The school will charge a $10.00 administrative fee to issue a paper certificate for an approved course.

Credit for Duplicate Courses

Commission regulations state that a real estate licensee who had successfully completed an approved continuing education course to meet any part of the continuing education requirement may not repeat that course for credit unless one full year has passed since the completion of the course.
