You need to learn requirements and acceptable schools in your state. State requirements vary. BTW--getting a license is only the first step.
Do you have the cash reserves saved up to pay for membership/dues to your local Board of Realtors/MLS? The first year in real estate it's likely that more money will be spent on business expenses than you will make. You'll be lucky if you break even.
Do you have cash saved up to pay for your living expenses? It could be months before you see a commission check.
Rockwell is another good online school to look into.
When my hubby and I went through it together, we both had to enroll in classes at the same time, so we chose two different ones so it would be less repetitive and offer a little broader perspective. We found you get what you pay for. The more expensive class really was better.
I would go talk to a couple of brokerages locally and see who they recommend also! Start talking to people and hear how the continuing training, mentorship and commission splits vary between brokerages. The first couple of years, go with whoever offers the most robust training and mentoship.

I used three methods: Some online quizzes, a DVD course I purchased, and an audio course I purchased. There are many more options available online today!
Once I went through all of the courses, I made index cards with the questions on one side and answers on the other, and quizzed myself non-stop until I knew all of the material.
Good luck.
P.S. I don't think "schools" are necessary, at all, and to me, are a waste of time. It probably took me three months of self-study to prep.
You have to graduate from pre-license school in Colorado. All 168 hours of it.

Is there a test at the end?
