Fee
The total cost of this course is $1,200 (currently on sale for $1,000). This fee must be paid in full before access to course materials is granted.
Cancellation Refunds
Refunds may be requested prior to starting home study portion of the course. $500 of the course fee is nonrefundable.
Course Validity
This course meets the pre-license education requirement of the South Dakota Real Estate Commission for all education required before taking the South Dakota real estate licensing exams.
Course Delivery
The course is a hybrid structure in accordance with the SD Real Estate Commission’s requirements. The home study portion includes 76 hours and must be completed via the REcampus platform. Once the home study portion is completed and Prepare Real Estate Academy receives notice of the student’s completion from REcampus, the student may attend the live class sessions. The live class sessions cover the remaining required 40 hours of education.
It is highly recommended that students attend the live class sessions in-person. The nature of the class provides the greatest benefit to the student this way. If a student cannot attend in-person, arrangements may be made with Prepare Real Estate Academy in advance for video conferencing access.
Course Expiration
The home study portion of the course expires 6 months after activation. One additional extension is available for an additional cost.
The live portion of the course must be completed within 6 months of completing the home study portion of the course. Should the student not complete the live classes on time, they must reregister and pay the full course fee before restarting the course.
Final Exam
Per the SD Real Estate Commission requirements, all students must pass a final exam with a score of at least 75% before a course certificate is issued.
