COURSE STRUCTURE – SALESPERSON AND BROKERS LICENSE COURSES

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:

  • The online chapter quizzes are mandatory.
  • You must advance through the online chapter quizzes in a linear fashion and you cannot advance to the next chapter quiz until the previous chapter’s quiz has been completed.
  • You cannot access the course final examination and complete the course until all chapter quizzes have been completed and minimum time* (18 calendar days) has elapsed. Once all the qualifications have been met students will be able to access their course exam. See the section TIME-TO-COMPLETE for more information.

TIME-TO-COMPLETE

The DRE allows each course to be completed in a MINIMUM time of 2 ½ weeks (18 calendar days) from the date you receive the course material. The MAXIMUM time we allow for completion of the course is 6 months from the date of enrollment with the option to extend another 6 months for an additional fee (equating to 1 year from enrollment). The DRE requires that all courses must be completed in one (1) year.

The 2 ½ week rule dictates how quickly you can take the final exam and complete each course. For example, the absolute fastest you can complete two courses is 5 weeks (36 calendar days). REMEMBER, the rule is 2 ½ weeks (18 calendar days) from the date of purchase. If you still have questions about how fast you can complete your course(s), please contact CA Realty Training for clarification.

COVID POLICY

While we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, we must also clarify that COVID-19 cannot be considered a valid reason for training reimbursement. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, our dedicated Student Services department is here to assist you with further information and explore the available options. Please feel free to reach out to them at Support@carealtytraining.com.

SUPPLEMENTAL TRAINING DISCLAIMER

CA Realty Training provides supplemental training sessions that are designed to help educate students. They are not required but are available for an additional fee. (Training sessions are available for $81.67 per month.) They are also not intended to replace the 45-hour (18-day) state requirement that students must fulfill in order to obtain their course completion certificate.

IN-PERSON/WEBINAR & ONLINE PROGRAM

Our in-person and webinar training is supplemental education to the online portal. Trainers, with experience in real estate, are hand-selected to lead every session. That means students learn under the trainer’s philosophies and are taught how to apply the course material in real-world situations. This program is designed to give you a complete perspective on real estate. The in-person and webinar training gives our students the chance to ask questions to an active real estate agent. Trainers answer student questions about the course material and what it is like to work as a real estate agent. The sessions do not cover every topic in the course’s textbooks. The trainers teach material based on their professional experience and the topic’s relevance.

3 MONTH AUTOMATIC INSTALLMENT PLAN

This plan is designed to make your learning journey seamless and accessible. Here are the key details you need to know:

  • Plan Features: The installment plan features three automatic payments spread over a period of three months, allowing you to manage your finances more effectively.
  • Payment Schedule: Your first installment will be charged on the day of your program enrollment. The second installment will be charged 30 days after that date, followed by the third installment 30 days after the second payment.
  • Fee Applicable: Please note that a $30.00 fee will be applied to the grand total for utilizing the installment plan.
  • Textbook Purchase: If you choose to purchase hard copy textbooks, the cost of shipping and tax will be included in your initial payment.
  • Payment Flexibility: We want to emphasize that your payments are not dependent on your attendance or rescheduling of training sessions. Whether you have placed your live training on hold or purchased in advance, the payment schedule remains unaffected.
  • Switching Options: Should you decide to switch to an online-only option, kindly note that the installment plan is exclusive to our In-Person/Webinar (Live+Online) Program. In such cases, the remaining balance of the installment plan must be paid.

LATE PAYMENT REINSTATEMENT FEE

By participating in our 3 Month Installment Plan, you acknowledge and agree to the imposition of the Late Payment Reinstatement Fee as described below.

For our 3 Month Installment Plan, a Late Payment Reinstatement Fee will be applicable in the event of delayed payments. If your payment is not received within 14 days of the due date, on day 15, you will be required to pay a fee of $25 to reinstate access to your account. This fee applies specifically to Installment Payments #2 and #3 and is in addition to the outstanding payment amount.

Please note that if a Late Payment Reinstatement Fee is applied to your account, you must complete this and any outstanding payments prior to regaining access to your account.

Late Payments: Making your payments late will remove time from your online access. Your online portal access does not stop counting down if you have not made a payment.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

In-person and webinar training is purely supplemental; attendance is not mandatory. Your in-person and webinar training must be taken the months you have purchased (i.e. March 10th start, training is selected for March, April, and May). If you need to adjust your training schedule, please call us prior to your training beginning and we can adjust your schedule. If no contact has been made by a student to place training on hold, it is assumed that the student has attended those selected months. It is not sufficient to let your trainer know you will be missing sessions, you must notify the Headquarters via email support@carealtytraining.com.

Once your month(s) of in-person and webinar training has(ve) been completed, you are no longer eligible to attend the in-person and webinar training for future month(s) without a valid proof of absence or additional purchase. If you have a valid reason to be absent, you will need to email our headquarters with proof of the following:

  • Extensive medical emergency (e.g. doctor’s note or discharge papers)
  • Family emergency
  • Conflicting travel plan(s) (e.g. flight itinerary)
  • Conflicting work schedule (e.g. shift schedule proof)

If you feel you have another valid reason that doesn’t fall under these categories, please email it with proof and we will evaluate it on a one-off basis. All information, evidence, and approval must be completed at least 1-week prior to the month of training you would like to re-enroll in.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MISS A LIVE SESSION?

Live sessions are supplemental and not required to gain your course certificates of completion; it is not a problem if you miss a session or two.  Also, the trainer presentation slides that are used in the live training are already loaded on your portal for you to review. 

We do not provide make-up sessions. The student can make-up everything on their own.

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to miss a live session or two. Please know that it is completely okay, and you will not be penalized nor will this affect your ability to receive your course certificates of completion. All of the Google slides presented during class are readily accessible on your portal, allowing you the flexibility to review the materials at your convenience. Although we do not offer make-up sessions for missed live sessions, rest assured that our comprehensive online courses are designed to be self-paced. You have the freedom to catch up on any missed material and continue your learning journey at a pace that suits you best.

PLACING YOUR LIVE TRAINING ON HOLD

To temporarily suspend your Live training, we kindly request that you get in touch with a member of our dedicated team. Please reach out to us through email at support@carealtytraining.com to communicate your intention to place your training on hold. While we appreciate any communication you may have with your trainer regarding missed sessions, it is vital to remember that notifying your trainer alone is not sufficient for placing your training on hold. Taking a few moments to email our support team ensures a smooth and seamless process, allowing us to accommodate your needs appropriately.

ONLINE & VIDEOS PROGRAM

The course videos are pre-recorded sessions of in-class training. The trainer, with experience in real estate, has been hand-selected to lead the video sessions. That means students learn under the trainer’s philosophies and are taught how to apply the course material in real-world situations. The videos are designed to give you a complete perspective on real estate and do not cover every topic in the course’s textbooks. These videos are not required but are available for an additional fee. (Videos are available for $5 per chapter.) No refunds will be provided for course video purchases.
