The Real Estate Academy also offers online classes that allow industry professionals to take and complete their 22.5 hours of continuing education requirements at their own pace.

The courses are offered on CD-ROM and come with step-by-step directions. Students must complete course work within six months of receipt. A certificate of completion from the Real Estate Academy is mailed once the student has finished, returned and passed each course. Tuition for the Academy’s online classes is $135.

Esther Muller, master teacher and president, says, “Interest in real estate as a career continues to grow, especially since so many businesses are either not hiring or downsizing. These classes provide the tools necessary for students to enter the field as well-trained and as well-equipped as possible.”
