COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students will participate in 40 hours of Live Online Class Webinars that they can schedule up to one month in advance for times that fit their schedule. If it’s more convenient, students can choose to watch our On-Demand class videos that are available anytime 24/7. A maximum of 20 hours of On-Demand videos can count towards the required 40 hours. Virtual office hours are also available to students during the week to ask questions about the materials presented in class.

The 40 hours of class time is broken down into (20) 2-hour class modules. Our course curriculum follows the PSI exam outline provided in the candidate handbook available on the PSI Exam website. Classes are scheduled throughout the week to accommodate a variety of schedules.

Each class highlights a number of topics expected to be on the exam. During each class, we start by reviewing the topics likely to be on the exam, then continue with a more in-depth discussion on each topic. During the class, you should expect pop-up questions approximately every 15 minutes to confirm your virtual attendance. We then typically wrap up the class with a short quiz to determine what topics students need to review.

During live class webinars, students are encouraged to ask questions via the question/chat box. Depending on the number of students registered for each class, in order to answer all student questions, the instructor may have another panelist assisting. If your questions are not fully answered during class, students can register for a review class or they can contact Maria Crowley directly.

The main objective of this course is to teach students how to pass the MA Real Estate Salesperson Exam. This course is not intended to provide in-depth training to learn the practice of real estate.  For students who are interested in learning more about real estate, check out the real estate extension courses we have available on our website or contact us and let us know what you’re thinking about. There are always a lot of opportunities we are working on or have heard about in the real estate industry. Chances are in your favor that we will have a good conversation to get you headed in the right direction. 🤓

HOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR CLASSES
