Will I have a real estate license after I take the pre-licensing course?

No, pre-licensing course providers do not issue real estate licenses. The course prepares you to sit for the state license exam. After you pass the course final exam, you will receive a certificate of completion (type and process varies by state). You will then schedule your license exam with the proctor company chosen by your state. The proctor company is a separate company and has their own fees. Complete information on the proctor company is provided in your course materials.
