This is a difficult question to give an exact number on because there are multiple companies that paperwork is gone through to become licensed. However, we can do our best to educate you on what to expect.
The steps and estimated fees of going from unlicensed to licensed are:
1)     Take our class for approved education requirement. $550 (no hidden fees and taxes are included. Literally $550)
2)     Background check for application processing (Identogo) $96*
3)     Apply to test for licensure. (Through the WVREC. We will show you how to apply) $25*
4)     Test for licensure through Pearson Vue (Can be done from home or at a testing facility) $55 per portion and there are TWO portions to the testing (A state portion and a national portion) *
5)     Activate license (WVREC) $75*
*Indicates there could be a small processing fee these companies charge for running the credit card or taxes. These are not controlled by us so all we can do is disclose it does exist and that we have no control of how they run their company. I would expect these fees to be a few dollars on each transaction.
