What is the direct answer?
Which official Georgia topic does this cover?
GREC-approved computer-based salesperson prelicense education and required final-exam supervision.
What is the Georgia-specific distinction?
The Rule
Georgia approved schools must provide a proctor for the prelicense final. Completing online modules is not enough. The course credit is earned only after the school's completion and examination requirements are satisfied.
The complete lesson
Self-paced does not mean unlimited. Many courses carry a six-month access period or another provider-set deadline. Ask what happens to completed work if access expires and whether an extension preserves progress.
Separate licensing education from exam preparation. An approved course satisfies eligibility. Practice questions, Georgia-law drilling, readiness diagnostics, and mixed-topic simulations solve a different problem and may or may not be included.
Read refund and pass-guarantee conditions before checkout. Look for deadlines, required study steps, number of exam attempts, proof requirements, and exclusions. A guarantee is useful only if you can realistically comply with it.
What should you do, in order?
- Confirm the school and salesperson prelicense approval on GREC's list.
- Record the full checkout price and any proctor or extension charge.
- Confirm course access length and mobile compatibility.
- Ask how quickly a licensed instructor answers content questions.
- Read the final-exam, refund, and guarantee terms before payment.
Worked example: The cheaper course that costs more
Course A costs $125 but adds a $25 proctor attempt and expires in six months. Course B costs $209, includes the final, and gives the student a support schedule that fits their workweek.
Common traps
- Relying on a provider logo without checking the GREC list.
- Confusing course completion with state-exam readiness.
- Buying during a sale before reading expiration and refund terms.
