Why I recommend Aceable

I used Aceable while earning my South Carolina real estate license. I liked being able to complete the online lessons at home and set my own pace.

Aceable offers South Carolina pre-licensing coursework. Review its current course details, then confirm approval in the Commission’s directory.

The steps

  1. 01

    Review approved providers

    Document 140 on the Commission’s pre-licensing page lists approved providers and courses.

  2. 02

    Compare current classes

    Document 150 lists course dates and locations. Contact a provider for format, price, and enrollment details.

  3. 03

    Know which test is which

    Your provider handles coursework and any course exam. The licensing exam is separate: PSI administers it after the Commission approves your application.

  4. 04

    Keep the two needs separate

    A pre-licensing course meets an education requirement. The SC Exam Prep question bank is optional practice for the Associate exam, after or alongside your coursework.
