Begin by reviewing the Educator’s Guidebook. To obtain school and course approval, visit the Public Portal to create an account (if you don’t already have one*). You will then register as a new school and submit one course application, along with $75 fee, for review at least 45 days before the first scheduled class session. After your school and first course are approved, you may then submit more courses for review. A checklist is available here.  

*If you hold a Kansas real estate license and have already created an account as a licensee, do not create another account. You will begin by logging in to Public Portal and submitting Education Provider Registration.

If you plan to offer pre-license education, you must first contact the Kansas Board of Regents to obtain a Certificate of Approval. To begin that process, please review the Pre-License Approval section of the Educator’s Guidebook.  

After obtaining a post-secondary certificate with the Kansas Board of Regents {add link to correct page on their website} for your school, instructions to register as a new school and submit a course application can be found in the Educator’s Guidebook. 

If you hold a Kansas real estate license and have already created an account in ACA as a licensee or if you’ve already obtained approval as a school offering CE, do not create another account. Login to your account in the Public Portal and submit an Education Provider Registration.

Students can access the appropriate pre-license checklist for their license type here: Applicants | KS Real Estate Commission 

Students should follow the Pre-License Checklist instructions listed in Step 1 to apply for Pre-Licensure and receive their Pre-License (PL) number. The student should provide this number to the school during course registration.

Applicants who may qualify for K.S.A. 48-3406 include military service members, military spouses, applicants who reside in Kansas, or applicants who intend to reside in Kansas. An applicant who is a military service member or military spouse must have held a valid license in another state during any period in the last two years. Non-military individuals who have established or intend to establish residency in this state must hold a current valid license in another jurisdiction and the license must have been in active status for at least two years immediately preceding application. Applicants must not have past or pending disqualifying criminal records or disciplinary actions.  

If an applicant meets requirements, they may be exempt from pre-license education and testing requirements. If an applicant believes they qualify for exemption pursuant to this statute, they should login to the Public Portal to submit a Pre-Licensure application. Applicants are required to submit all other application materials required within the prescribed timeline.
