Is there a final exam for the Sales Associate Course? What happens if I do
not pass the first time? Do I have to pay again?
For both the online and classroom courses, the State of Florida
requires you to pass a final exam at the end of the course.
Once you have started the final exam you must complete it in one
sitting. You cannot close out of it and return to it, or use the
back button to go back. If
you exit the exam before you have completed it, or fail the exam, you must wait
thirty (30) days to attempt the exam again.
If you do not pass the first time, you will be given a link to a second final exam, which
may not be taken until thirty (30) days have passed. For review purposes, your course will remain active and you may revisit it as many times as you wish during the
thirty days. After the thirty days have passed, you may then click on the link to access the second
final exam.
Once this has been done the original course is deactivated and cannot be accessed.
Be sure you are ready to take the final exam before clicking on the second Final Exam link, because it is the only alternate exam.
You have up to one (1) year to retake the new exam.
