Real Estate School for Success offers three ways to complete your SC real estate pre-licensing course from Columbia: fully in-person classes at our Columbia location (288 Saint Andrews Road), live-streamed classes you can attend remotely in real time, and a self-paced online format you can complete on your own schedule. Columbia is the only city where students can attend in person with a live instructor, making it our most versatile location for learners who want options.
The timeline typically ranges from 2 to 8 weeks depending on your chosen format and pace. In-person class schedules are structured and instructor-led, so many students complete the 60-hour Unit I course in a few weeks of regular sessions. The self-paced online option lets you move faster or slower to fit your life, and the Flex Option offers the best of both — a live class experience with the freedom to attend in person or via livestream day by day.
Columbia students have the advantage of a PSI testing center right in the city at 121 Executive Center Drive, Columbia, SC 29210. This makes Columbia one of the most convenient locations in South Carolina to complete the full licensing journey — from classes all the way through your state exam — without traveling far from home.
The total cost typically runs between $550 and $600. This includes the pre-licensing course starting at $375 (available in-person, Flex, or online), a $63 PSI exam fee, a $25 SC LLR application fee plus $50 license issuance fee, and approximately $40 for a background check. All formats are covered by our pass-or-refund guarantee.
Yes, Real Estate School for Success is fully approved by the South Carolina Real Estate Commission (SC LLR) to offer the required 60-hour Unit I pre-licensing course. This approval covers all three delivery formats — in-person, Flex, and online — so you receive the same state-recognized credentials no matter how you choose to learn.
In-person classes are held at our Columbia, SC location with a live instructor and structured schedule — ideal if you learn best face-to-face. The Flex Option lets you attend the same in-person session either in the classroom or via livestream, choosing day by day. The self-paced online option lets you start immediately and study whenever and wherever suits you best. All three formats cover the same SC Real Estate Commission-approved 60-hour curriculum.
Yes — our Flex Option is specifically designed for this. Columbia students can attend in person or join via livestream on a class-by-class basis with no need to commit to one format for the entire course. If a week of in-person classes doesn't work with your schedule, simply join the same session online that day. This flexibility makes it easier to stay on track toward your license no matter what comes up.
