Our verdict

Hogan School of Real Estate suits Arizona candidates who want classroom or livestream teaching with their licence prep and a pass or money back promise attached. Entry starts at $499, above cheaper question banks, and 2 full length tests is the thin part of an otherwise wide package.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Live classes are part of the package, and the flex plans add classroom and livestream options to the same material.
  • A pass or money back promise underpins the plans, alongside a 30 day money back window in the wider policies.
  • Live classes and 2 full length tests arrive together, a mix the category median of 8 suggests is not common.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a learner can reach the school directly by phone or email.
  • State approval covers AZ, and the school has traded as Hogan School of Real Estate since 1973.

Cons

  • The entry point of $499 sits far above $19.99 and $68 for anyone comparing on price alone.
  • 2 full length tests ranks 22 of 27, below the category median of 8.
  • Access runs 6 months, which ranks 11 of 24 and is short against a €145.48 year spread elsewhere.
  • CompuCram exam prep and flashcards are sold apart from the course plans, so the state exam sits outside the $499 entry price.

Who it suits

  • Arizona salespersons and brokers who want a school rather than a standalone question bank
  • Learners who prefer live classes or livestream teaching alongside self study material
  • Candidates who want the pass or money back promise attached to their course

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone whose exam is outside AZ, since state approval is listed only there
  • Budget-first learners comparing only on price against $19.99 flashcard and practice packs
  • Candidates wanting a long access window, since access runs 6 months

Core features

Hogan runs a single exam line, real estate, built around state approved pre licensing for AZ. Live classes are part of the package rather than an add on, and the same plan name can be taken as online self study or as a flex option with classroom and livestream sessions. Practice material tops out at 2 full length tests, with 6 months of access from purchase. The promise attached is a pass or money back guarantee, and a 30 day money back window sits alongside it in the wider policies. Tutoring is available as an extra for anyone who stalls after the course. The trade is breadth against depth, with live teaching and a guarantee carried by the package and a test count below the 8 category median on the other side.

How it compares on our data

Hogan is a specialist in a narrow lane, and the rankings show the cost of that focus. On entry price it sits at position 50 of 65, which is the clearest signal in the table: this is a priced up professional course, not a cheap question bank, and a reader comparing against $19.99 or $68 will see a large gap. On access months it holds position 11 of 24, so the 6 month window is mid field rather than generous. On full length tests it ranks 22 of 27, the weakest of its positions and the one that most shapes the practice offer. Read together, the pattern is consistent: Hogan competes on the school around the course, and it does not compete on volume of practice material.

The company behind it

The provider is Hogan School of Real Estate, based in the United States and operating since 1973, which places it among the longer established names in this category. That length of history matters for a licence course, where state approval and school policies are the practical questions, and the course is state approved for AZ. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is available by email, by phone and through a help centre, while live chat is not among the listed channels. The legal entity is a school rather than a marketplace, which is consistent with the classroom and livestream element in the plan names. For a reader weighing who stands behind the money back promise, the answer is a named school with a long operating record rather than an anonymous course seller.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Hogan cost to start?+

The Essentials plan in online self study starts at $499. Higher tiers sit above that, with Professional and Ultimate Learning at higher entry prices, and the flex versions of each plan add classroom and livestream delivery for more again. Exam prep, CompuCram and flashcards are priced as separate items, so budget for those too.

Is there a renewal or subscription price on Hogan courses?+

The plans listed are course purchases rather than monthly subscriptions, and each carries 6 months of access from the day of purchase. The cost to plan for is the entry price plus any add on exam prep or flashcard products bought alongside the course.

What is included in the Hogan course?+

Live classes are included as standard, and the plan names cover online self study plus a flex format with classroom and livestream sessions. Practice material includes 2 full length tests, and access lasts 6 months. Tutoring is available as an extra for anyone who wants more individual help.

What happens if you fail the exam?+

The score guarantee is a pass or money back promise, and the terms set out conditions: results sent within a short window of a failed attempt, a solid score in the simulated exams beforehand, and purchase within a stated period. A separate 30 day money back window also applies to the school policies, and product access continues after a claim.

Which states does Hogan cover?+

The course is state approved for AZ, and the exam line is listed as real estate. In practice that means a single state licence rather than a national provider, so anyone sitting an exam elsewhere should look at another option first.

How does Hogan compare on price against other test prep brands?+

On entry price Hogan sits at position 50 of 65 in the ranking data, among the higher priced options in the group. A reader comparing against $19.99 practice packs or $68 will find the gap large, and the justification for it is the live class element and the guarantee.

Can you reach someone if you need help during the course?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre are all available. Live chat is not among the listed channels, which matters less for a school that already offers live classes, but is worth knowing for anyone who prefers instant messaging.

Is Hogan a well established school?+

The provider is Hogan School of Real Estate, headquartered in the United States and founded in 1973. That is a long operating record for licence prep, and the state approval for AZ is the more practical check for a candidate about to enrol.

How much practice material do you get?+

The listed count is 2 full length tests, which ranks 22 of 27 and sits under the 8 median for this category. A candidate who wants heavy question volume should read Hogan's strength as live teaching and the guarantee rather than practice volume.
