Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our real estate courses
What is Alabama post-licensing?
Alabama post-licensing is a 30-hour AREC-required course that newly licensed salespersons must complete within 12 months of initial licensure. It covers advanced topics beyond the 60-hour pre-licensing foundation — agency, contracts, risk management, and Alabama-specific practices.
When is Alabama post-licensing due?
All post-licensing coursework must be completed within 12 months of your initial license issue date. Failure to complete by the deadline results in license expiration — you would have to retake the salesperson exam and start over.
Can Alabama post-licensing be taken online?
Yes. Fortune Academy's full 30-hour Alabama post-licensing course is 100% online and AREC-approved. Self-paced on any device.
How much does Alabama post-licensing cost?
Fortune Academy's 30-hour Alabama post-licensing package is priced to satisfy AREC's requirement in one bundle. Contact us for current pricing. Financing available.
What topics are covered in Alabama post-licensing?
The AL post-licensing curriculum covers advanced agency relationships, risk management, financial analysis for transactions, Alabama-specific practice areas (1031 exchanges, property management, timeshare law), and ethics case studies.
What happens if I miss the 12-month deadline?
If you don't complete the 30 hours within 12 months, AREC expires your license. You cannot work as a licensed agent, and reinstatement requires retaking the salesperson licensing exam from scratch. Fortune Academy's course timeline keeps you on track.
Is there an exam for Alabama post-licensing?
Yes. The AREC-required final exam on the 30-hour post-licensing material must be passed to receive course credit. Fortune Academy includes unlimited practice quizzes.
Does post-licensing count toward CE?
No. The 30-hour post-licensing is a separate requirement from the 15-hour biennial CE that all Alabama licensees must complete after their first year. Post-licensing is one-time; CE is recurring every 2 years.
