What Sets Us Apart
National online schools sell generic content. We’ve spent 62 years perfecting Colorado-specific preparation that actually gets people licensed.
Colorado’s First Approved School
State-approved since 1962, before most of our competitors existed. Our pass rates consistently rank #1 per Colorado DRE data.
Save Time & Money
90% of our students pass the state exam on the first try, while many students from other schools pay for multiple retakes at $48 per test.
Colorado-Focused Curriculum
Colorado’s exam is notoriously heavy on state contracts and DORA rules. Our curriculum is built entirely around Colorado, not repurposed national content.
Pass Guarantee
Complete our program, pass our final exam, and if you don’t pass the state test on your first try, we’ll pay your retake fee. No fine print.
Local Denver Presence
Real classrooms in Greenwood Village. Real people on the phone. When you need help, you talk to someone who knows Colorado real estate.
Career Resources
We don’t just get you licensed, we help you land your first job with brokerage placement guidance and a network built over six decades.

Student Reviews
Real Colorado Brokers
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what students say after passing their exam and launching their careers.
“I tried a national online course first and felt completely lost on the Colorado-specific sections. Switched to Armbrust, passed my state exam on the first try. The live instructors made all the difference.”
Everything You Need to Know
How long does it take to get a real estate license in Colorado?
Colorado requires 168 hours of pre-licensing education — the most of any state. With Armbrust, you can complete this in as few as 3–4 weeks intensive, or 2–6 months part-time depending on your schedule and format (online or in-person).
What's included in the 168-hour requirement?
Colorado requires six specific courses: Real Estate Law & Practice (48 hrs), Colorado Contracts & Regulations (48 hrs), Real Estate Closings (24 hrs), Practical Applications (32 hrs), Record Keeping and Trust Accounts (8 hrs), and Current Legal Issues (8 hrs). Armbrust Real Estate covers all six.
Do I need a "salesperson" license first in Colorado?
What happens if I don't pass the state exam the first time?
Can I take classes online if I'm outside the Denver area?
Yes. Our online courses are available to anyone in Colorado. We also offer hybrid formats so you can attend classes in-person or online.
How is Armbrust different from national schools like Kaplan or The CE Shop?
We are Colorado-only. Our entire curriculum is built for Colorado’s exam, which is one of the hardest in the nation due to its emphasis on state-specific contract law and DORA regulations. National schools repurpose generic content. We’ve been teaching Colorado real estate law since 1962.
