Question: What’s the Soonest I Can Get Licensed?
Answer: Around 3 months on average
PHASE 1
The Qualification Program
Completion time: Minimum, 2-1/2 weeks per each course taken, which must be taken apart from each other (example: minimum time period to complete 3 courses would be 7-1/2 weeks). Also if a student enrolls and 7-1/2 weeks have passed without taking a course final, student would then be eligible to take all 3 finals at once or when desired after that time period. Maximum, one (1) year from enrollment date.
California Real Estate Principles, Practice and Legal Aspects of Real Estate (Or elective of your choice). We provide the required courses through the use of Department Of Real Estate approved “Home Study” programs. These courses are by far the quickest and most convenient way to complete this portion of your studies. Each course is “self-paced” and for those motivated, each course can be completed in as little as 2-1/2 weeks.
We offer the newest editions of our textbooks as they are updated by our providers on consistent basis when needed. The DRE requires schools that have courses that only provide an e-book for study, track the student’s time online for the full 45 hour time required to complete the course, opposed to school’s like ours that also provide all of the hardcopy textbooks (no tracking is required). Unfortunately these textbooks contain much more information than what will be necessary for you to know in order to pass the state exam. Therefore we recommend spending just enough time on each course in order to assure yourself of passing the “Open Book Finals” and then studying our prep materials which will focus you into the exact information you’ll need to pass your state exam.
Our “Open Book” final and 60% grade or better to pass, has provided our students with nearly a 100% Pass Rate!
How To Complete Courses:
Read Each Course Textbook. Hardcopy Textbook or E-book Online (Assignments are available at the end of each chapter, however they are not required to be turned in or graded)
Take The Final Examination For Each Course. The final examination for each course final may be taken anytime 2-1/2 weeks from date of enrollment. Students will have up to 2-1/2 hours to complete the final exam which will consist of 100 multiple choice quiz questions. The final is OPEN BOOK and only requires a 60% grade or better to pass. (taken ONLINE) Once completed, students will be given immediate results whether they passed or failed (the school is not allowed to give out a percentage grade). Failures are nearly non-existent, however if one does a occur, students are eligible at “anytime” within the enrollment period to take a second final. If failing a second time, by regulation requirements the course is considered as being “failed” and the student would have to re-enroll in the program.
Receiving the Certificates Of Completions. Upon successful completion of each course, the school provides a CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION identifying the course title & approval #.
Applying For State Exam Testing Date. When completing all the required courses, You can apply to the Department Of Real Estate for a testing date by sending in all the certificates along with an application.
It will usually take between 4 to 6 weeks before you take your State Exam. In the meanwhile you will want to start preparation.
PHASE 2
License Exam Preparation
Prepare For Your State Exam: In order to be successful, students will need to study information that is specific and focused to the subject matter and vocabulary that will appear on the state exam.
Completion Time: The minimal 4-6 weeks while waiting for state exam date.
Step 1. Review The Information That You Will Be Tested On
PowerPrep Online Program™
Live Power Review Video | “We Bring The Power Of The Classroom To You”
For over 35 years Don had taught a live weekend review. Classes had traditionally been taught and were held in all the major cities across California. Now students can benefit from this segment of learning conveniently in their home, office or anywhere on a personal computer (6+ hours)
The primary purpose of the “Class Review” has been to give a complete and thorough review of the main topic areas and all the most important information students can expect to find on the State Exam, Instead of our students having to drive to a particular location to attend Don’s lecture, All of our students now have a chance to see his incredible presentation recorded ”live” in this special video series. More importantly students can now access the information immediately and use as a primary source of subject matter and vocabulary to study. The video format has also supplied the ability for students to fast forward, rewind or view any portion of the video when needed. Not only is this an added convenience but we have also found this absolutely crucial in the study process as in a live class situation students can only listen to the lecture once. Having the ability to view numerous times, rewind to listen to over again for repetition and being able to watch when students are alert and ready gives our students a huge advantage in memorizing the large scope of material. In addition Don’s expertise in the field of Real Estate and more importantly his long time teaching credentials, shines through as in the video he shares true to life experiences as examples. This tends to help explain the information more effectively and grasp students attention, therefore making the classroom experience more enjoyable by keeping them alert and attentive the whole way through. Our Exam Review Guide, previously used to follow along in the classroom can now be used to accompany watching the video.
This includes well over 100 examples of possible types of questions and TEST TAKING HINTS that can mean the difference between getting a PASSING or FAILING GRADE. Click Here For Sample Video
