Utah Real Estate License

[Nathanael Giovanni Opoulos]

Hello Biggerpockets,

I recently stopped by the local tech college and inquired after their real estate program. I guess they teach a class that prepares you to take your real estate exam. Is taking a course like that recommended or would I be able to learn what I need to pass that exam through online study and resources available on biggerpockets? Part of the reason I wonder is that their course is set to a specific time and days of the week. I work night shift from 11pm to 7am, I typically sleep from about 2pm to 9:30pm, and the course would take place at 6pm-10pm, I'd be willing to shift my sleeping schedule in order to obtain my goals but it's not something that I'd be super enthusiastic about since I've attempted to sleep right after work is over and it hasn't gone over well before.

Utah law requires you to take 120 hours of state approved licensing courses before you take the real estate licensing exam. Make sure this tech college is approved by the state and what they offer are actual licensing courses that count towards those 120 hours. 

If you want flexibility of schedule, try taking the classes through Stringham. They’re one of the few schools I know of that offer the licensing courses entirely online.
