Successfully complete an approved 60 clock-hour Pre-Licensing Salesperson course. Learn more about your package options here. For graduates of an accredited law school, those that have received a degree from a university with a major course of study in real estate, former licensees, or those with a current license in another jurisdiction seeking licensure in Hawaii, please see the Hawaii Real Estate Branch website for detailed education and examination requirements for each candidate’s situation.

Register an account with eHawaii as the state requires official certificates to be sent through that service.

After you complete all the course materials and meet the minimum seat time requirement, there is a course final exam. This exam consists of 130 questions and the minimum passing score is 70%. Course completions are valid for two years from the date of issuance and the official certificate will be sent through eHawaii as noted above in step 2.

Next, you will take and pass the Hawaii Real Estate Salesperson Licensing Exam, which is administered by PSI. The National portion of this exam consists of 80 questions and a 150-minute time allowance, and the State portion consists of 50 questions and a 90-minute time allowance. For more information, see the PSI Candidate Information Bulletin. The state provides option of taking the licensing exam remotely instead of at a physical testing center location. PSI will have in-person on site testing available for those students who wish to take the exam in-person instead of online. An exam can be scheduled at this link. PSI has a dedicated number for candidates with scheduling/issues on their exam - (855) 579-4640.
