COURSE STRUCTURE
The course design is dictated by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) and requires you to demonstrate mastery of the subject matter in one chapter of the course before progressing to the next. This means:
1. The online unit quizzes are mandatory.
2. You must advance through the online unit quizzes in a linear fashion and cannot advance to the next unit quiz until the previous unit's reading assignment and unit quiz has been completed.
3. You cannot access the course final examination and complete the course until all reading assignments and unit quizzes have been completed and the minimum time (see below) has elapsed. When you complete the last unit quiz you may access the Final Examination.
MAXIMUM TIME-TO-COMPLETE
Maximum Time-To-Complete The MAXIMUM time allowed for completion of the course(s) is one year from the date of enrollment. If you do not complete all the courses in your package within one year, re-enrollment for another year will be required at the full course fee to continue.
MINIMUM TIME-TO-COMPLETE
The DRE allows a course to be completed in a MINIMUM time of 2 1/2 weeks ( 18 calendar days ) from the date you receive the material.
The 2 1/2 week rule dictates how quickly you can take the final exam and complete each course. For example, the absolute fastest you can complete three courses is 7 1/2 weeks. REMEMBER, the rule is 2 1/2 weeks (18 calendar days) from the date you receive the material for each course. If you still have questions about how fast you can complete your course(s), please call the school for clarification.
Final Examination and Passing The Course
To pass this course, you will be required to take and pass an online final examination (100 multiple-choice, 2.5 hours, 60% or better to pass, open book)
What Happens If You Fail A Final Exam?
If you do not pass the final exam on the first try, DRE allows you one re-take. Be aware that the questions on the re-take exam will be completely different from the questions on the original final exam. If you fail the re-examination you must re-do the entire course and wait 18 calendar days before being allowed to take the final exam again.
COURSE COMPLETION
Completion of a course includes taking and passing the course final examination. The final examination must be taken NO LATER THAN the last day of the course enrollment period.
Extension PolicyOnline course(s) must be completed within one (1) year of the date of enrollment, (for any reason, no exceptions). After that, re-enrollment for another year would be required at the full original price. All progress in the course(s) will be reset to the beginning.
