1. Do I have to wait 2 years to take the Ohio Broker Prerequisite courses?

   No. In fact, the earlier you start your classes the better! Here's why:
   

   
   The Ohio Broker Prerequisite course material is not covered on the licensing exam. This means you can take the classes at any time!
   

   As you build your career as a sales agent the number of clients you serve will grow. The best time to focus on your additional education is immediately after obtaining your sales license. You will have more time to focus on your education when you first get started.
   

   You'll be prepared to advance when a career or business opportunity requiring a Broker's license presents itself.

4. Will my Ohio Real Estate Sales Pre-licensing classes with Hondros College count toward the 90 hours?

   Yes, all four Ohio Real Estate Sales Pre-licensing courses with Hondros College apply toward the 90 quarter credit hour requirement-provided you have completed the college credit application.

5. Will any of my previous college classes count toward the 90 credits to earn a degree?

   It's possible! Just have your previous college and/or university send an official transcript directly to Hondros College. We will evaluate it and apply any credit that will transfer toward your Associate's Degree.
