(Your initial QE courses you completed to gain your license count towards to 270 hour total requirement.)
These courses build on the foundational knowledge you acquired during your Texas pre-licensing education. SAE courses focus on practical skills and advanced concepts that will enhance your ability to succeed in the real estate industry.
NOTE: As part of the 270 hour requirement, you must have completed the 30 hour Real Estate Brokerage Course.
