Pre-Licensing

Our 96-hour online program consists of four parts: Part A, Part B, Course Project, and Final Exam. The program is approved by the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC). Part A, Part B and the Course Project is completed online. The Final Exam is required and can be taken at our office in Lexington or with our online proctoring service. The Final Exam is NOT the licensing exam. Once you complete and pass the final exam, KRI will provide you a certificate of completion allowing you to schedule the PSI licensing exam. You have 1 year to complete the entire program (including the final exam). Many schools only offer 6 months, where we understand that life happens and want to be able to provide ample time for our students to successfully finish the program. Technical Support is available if needed for both Part A and Part B. An instructor is available for any assistance needed on course content questions. Before registering for the program, please read the FAQ's.



Please Note: A criminal conviction may prevent an applicant from qualifying for licensure under KRS 324.045. Per Kentucky law, students are not allowed to complete more than 9 hours of Pre-Licensing coursework per day. It's the student's responsibility to track their hours. Please contact KRI with any questions.

3 Project

No fee

The course project consists of two case studies for the buyer and the seller. You will need to understand which forms are to be completed on the selling side and which forms are to be completed on the buying side. Once you complete the forms, you will also need to complete an online quiz. All of the information needed to complete these tasks is contained in the case studies with a few quiz questions having been studied in the course. The project is located at the end of Part B.

4 Final Exam

No fee

Once you have completed all of the above steps, you will need to email kri@kyrealtors.com or call 800.264.2185 to make arrangements to sit for the final exam. This is NOT the licensing exam.

Exam Options:

Kentucky REALTORS® Office -Lexington (UNAVAILABLE UNTIL STATE OF EMERGENCY IS LIFTED)

Online Proctoring​

Note: After successfully completing all of the above items, you will receive your completion certificate, complete your fingerprints and schedule your licensing exam with PSI.





Additional Items: The pre-licensing program is divided into two parts: Part A and Part B. You do not have to complete Part A and Part B in order, however, both parts must be completed, along with the project, before attempting the comprehensive final exam (this is not the licensing exam).

There are no additionals fees associated with our program, but you will be responsible for fees associated with the licensing process (background check fees, KY license exam, etc).

You will have two separate accounts (login and password) for the program as Part A and Part B are hosted on different platforms.

You have one year to complete the entire program upon initial registration into Part A and/or Part B. You may still have access to online course materials after a year has passed but that doesn't extend your time frame.

By registering for our program, you agree to our terms and conditions. Please read through all the information carefully to familiarize yourself with policies including refunds and instructor contact.

"The experience I had with Kentucky Realtor Institute exceeded all my expectations! I've never taking an online course before so I was a little nervous about how well I would perform and retain the self-taught material. However, after starting the course, it was presented in such a way that it was easy to understand and complete! Nicole and the staff at KAR were so helpful in any questions I had and helping me through the course. I wouldn't hesitate again to take an online course through them an would refer anyone that is interested in taking a real estate course to go with Kentucky Real Estate Institute!" - Jonathan Ervin, Auburn, KY
