First, contact the Colorado Department of Real Estate for licensing requirements. They also have a web site, but I'm not sure if everything is online. They have a packet they send out that has it all in writing, together with application forms, etc.
While waiting for that to arrive, contact local real estate brokers. Most are always recruiting new agents, so they will be happy to meet with you and discuss what it's like. Do a lot of listening, they do not like to speak twice.
As for schools, that is one question to ask the brokers. Every area has several private real estate schools, plus the community colleges offer courses. The private real estate schools are located in the yellow pages after the Real Estate - General section. Most schools let you sample their classes or program.
It generally takes a month or two of classes. Then you take the exam. When you pass you must activate your license under a local broker. At that point you start sales training classes. Figure about 3-4 months in the field before you start getting an income stream flowing. In other words, you need some resources to live on while getting your feet on the ground.
