How to Enroll in Our Correspondence/Home Study CE Program

• You can either register over the phone or in person. When you register for a course, you will be given study materials and quizzes (for the consumer protection courses), which can be completed at the convenience of your own home or at our school. Upon completion of your studies, just simply return the completed quiz answer sheet and schedule a date and time for taking the final examination. The final can either take the final at our school, or they may request a proctor to administer the examination. Please call us for more information on using a proctor. If you do not pass, you may retake the course once with a different final exam, at no charge. After successful completion of the course, we will send you a certificate of completion. All you need to do is take care of your renewal fee with the Department of Real Estate!
