The California Real Estate Certificate is currently awarded by 70 community colleges in California. City College of San Francisco participates in this Statewide program and awards the California Real Estate Certificate to any day or evening student who completes this prescribed program.

A student may complete only those courses required for the California Real Estate Certificate, since this is awarded independently of the Associate in Science degree. However, students who complete the full course of study leading to that degree will have completed the requirements for, and may be awarded, the California Real Estate Certificate.

The Certificate of achievement is designed so that those seeking entry employment may prepare themselves to take the State licensing examination for real estate salespersons, and so that those already employed in various branches of real estate work may gain further knowledge and develop additional competence.
