Comparison
Casa Academy vs Premier Courses
Casa Academy's online Florida sales associate package is $199 on the live enroll page (https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course), while Premier Courses lists Agent Accel at $178, Professional at $235, and Career Accel at $340 under FREC school ID ZH1003192 on https://premiercourses.co/products/florida-real-estate-pre-licensing, both opened the same day. Casa's $199 checkout includes the 63-hour course, access until you finish, 650+ practice questions, a ChatGPT tutor in every lesson, and English or Spanish as two full courses, and it leaves DBPR RE 1 ($62.75), fingerprints, and Pearson VUE ($36.75) outside checkout, so the state path still works if you never buy Casa.
Reviewed by Casa Academy and updated October 14, 2026 using the current DBPR checklist and Pearson VUE scheduling guidance.

Price check with Agent Accel. shown (opened 2026-10-14)
This page keeps Premier Courses Agent Accel. on the table even when Casa costs more. Casa Academy public tuition on the English and Spanish enroll pages is $199 for the current cohort (sources: https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course and https://casaacademy.com/enroll/spanish, opened 2026-10-14). After that cohort fills, the published next price is $249. Premier Courses live Florida packages on https://premiercourses.co/products/florida-real-estate-pre-licensing (opened 2026-10-14) are Agent Accel. $178, Professional $235, and Career Accel. $340. Cite those stickers from the live page. Against Agent Accel. $178, Casa $199 is about twenty-one dollars more. Against Professional $235, Casa $199 is about thirty-six dollars less. Against Career Accel. $340, Casa $199 is about one hundred forty-one dollars less. Recompute if either live sticker moves. The fair study-tools compare is Professional, where Premier puts the Florida Real Estate Exam Prep Online Video Course and the Sales Associate Drill and Practice QBank. Career Accel. adds Real Estate Accelerator business training after license, which is not a required state path. Premier publishes FREC school ID ZH1003192 on that page. Prefer Premier's own page over press or promo math.
What Premier Courses packages publish
On the live Premier Courses Florida pre-licensing page (https://premiercourses.co/products/florida-real-estate-pre-licensing, opened 2026-10-14), all three packages include the 63-hour FREC Sales Associate Course I (Florida Real Estate Principles, Practices and Law), unlimited practice tests, and a proctored online FREC end-of-course final. Agent Accel. $178 is the course-only ladder rung without the exam-prep video course or QBank. Professional $235 adds the Exam Prep Online Video Course and the Sales Associate Drill and Practice QBank. Career Accel. $340 adds Real Estate Accelerator video plus live online training for after you are licensed. Premier markets a six-month completion window from registration, with paid extensions if you need more time. That six-month clock is the access contrast with Casa, which publishes access until you finish with no fixed six-month clock on the enroll pages opened the same day. Premier also markets a pass-guarantee column on its Florida comparison table. That column is school marketing. It is not a Florida state pass bar and it does not replace Pearson's 75 correct out of 100 scored questions.
What Casa Academy includes (checked 2026-10-14)
Public tuition on the English and Spanish enroll pages is $199 for the current cohort (sources: https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course and https://casaacademy.com/enroll/spanish, opened 2026-10-14). After that cohort fills, the published next price is $249. One payment. Klarna is offered at checkout. The $199 checkout includes the state-required 63-hour DBPR-approved pre-license course (self-paced), access until you finish with no fixed 6-month or 12-month clock, video lessons and slides, a dashboard with chapter quizzes, more than 650 practice questions plus a timed full exam weighted to Florida chapter weights, a ChatGPT tutor (voice and text) inside every lesson, optional Spotify audio, SM-2 flashcards, and English or Spanish as two separate 63-hour courses (English 0032664 and Spanish 0032665 under school license ZH1003169, provider 0010716). The tutor can talk in many languages. The course itself is English or Spanish, not every language. Seven-day refund via support@onlinerealestateschool.com.
What Casa tuition does not include
DBPR RE 1 ($62.75, source: https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/re/documents/DBPR_RE_1_Sales_Associate_Application.pdf, opened 2026-10-14), Livescan fingerprints (provider prices vary), Pearson VUE exam fee ($36.75, source: https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/servop/testing/documents/CBT_exam_admin_Fee_2016.pdf, updated 2022-09-08, opened 2026-10-14), the 45-hour sales associate post-license course, 14-hour continuing education, broker coursework, MLS access, and Realtor association dues are separate. Casa does not sell those state or association fees inside the $199 checkout. Premier Courses school tuition also does not replace those state fees. You can complete the 63-hour requirement with any DBPR-approved school; this page stays useful if you never buy Casa.
School final vs the Florida state exam
Premier Courses correctly tells students the school final needs 70% or higher before you move on, with one retest after 30 days under FREC rules on the live page opened 2026-10-14. Florida schools commonly use that 70% pass bar on the school final. The Florida state exam is given by Pearson VUE: 100 scored questions, about 3.5 hours, 75 correct to pass. Passing the school final earns your pre-license certificate; it is not a Florida license. Do not mix the school final with the state exam. That distinction applies whether you study at Casa, Premier Courses, or another DBPR-approved school.
Access window and refunds are school policy, not Florida pass guarantees
Premier Courses publishes a six-month completion window from registration, with paid extensions if you need more time, on the live pre-licensing page opened 2026-10-14. Casa Academy publishes access until you finish with no fixed six-month clock on the enroll pages opened the same day, plus a 7-day refund window via support@onlinerealestateschool.com. Premier's comparison table markets a pass-guarantee column across its three Florida packages. Those lines are school policies and school marketing. They are not Florida pass guarantees and they do not replace Pearson's 75 correct out of 100 scored questions. Re-check each school's live refund and access page before you pay.
How the study experience differs
Casa's $199 package puts the ChatGPT tutor inside every lesson, 650+ practice questions, a timed full exam on Florida chapter weights, and SM-2 flashcards in one checkout, with access until you finish, plus English or Spanish as two full courses. Premier Courses packages on the live page advertise unlimited practice tests, a proctored online school final, and (on Professional and Career Accel.) an exam-prep video course plus QBank, with Career Accel. adding post-license business training, under a six-month completion window opened 2026-10-14. Pick the mechanic and access clock you will actually use. Re-check both live pages before you pay.

FAQs
- Is Casa Academy cheaper than Premier Courses Agent Accel.?
- On 2026-10-14, Casa public tuition was $199 (https://casaacademy.com/enroll/florida-63-hour-pre-licensing-course) and Premier Courses Agent Accel. was $178 (https://premiercourses.co/products/florida-real-estate-pre-licensing). Agent Accel. can cost less than Casa. Compare Professional $235 and Career Accel. $340 the same way. Re-check both live pages before you pay.
- Which Premier Courses package is the fair compare to Casa Academy?
- Professional is the fair study-tools compare because that is where Premier puts the exam-prep video course and the Drill and Practice QBank. Agent Accel. is the lower course-only rung. Career Accel. adds post-license business training that Casa does not sell inside the $199 package.
- Does Premier Courses or Casa Academy guarantee I will pass the Florida state exam?
- No. Premier's comparison table markets a pass-guarantee column, and Casa Academy publishes a 7-day refund. Those are school marketing and school refund windows. Pearson still requires 75 correct out of 100 scored questions, and neither school line replaces that cut.
- Can I get a Florida real estate license without buying Casa Academy?
- Yes. Finish any DBPR-approved 63-hour course, pass the school final at 70%, file RE 1 for $62.75, complete Livescan, then schedule Pearson VUE for $36.75 after eligibility. Casa is optional.
