It’s now time to schedule your PSI licensing exam (PSI Sales Associate Licensing Exam). We recommend setting your exam date a few weeks in advance to give yourself ample time to study.

Step 8
Apply for Your License
After passing the PSI licensing exam, you will need to apply for your real estate sales associate license with the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC).
Side Note: After obtaining your license, you will be required to complete post-licensing education. But don’t worry—we can help you with that! For more information, please visit our Post-Licensing Education page. Have more questions, you can find FAQ’s here!
