Can I pick my books up?

If I signup the day before my renewal is due, is this enough time to complete the course?
We do not recommend this. TREC rules state that CE credits must be posted to your TREC account prior to paying your renewal fees to avoid being charged the $200 deferral fee. If you wait until the day before the renewal is due your credit for the course will not have time to post.

Express Courses
Do I have to take the classes in a particular order?
No, our classes are taught independently of one another and do not require prior knowledge of one course in order to succeed in another. The classes can be taken in any order that fits your schedule.
If I have to change my class dates, is there a penalty?
Absolutely not. We will gladly change your dates as many times as you need.

It’s EASY. Just call us at 1-800-624-5440 and we will be happy to transfer you from an Express course to an online course, transfer fees may apply.
Do your classes ever cancel?
Very rarely, but due to lack of enrollment some classes do cancel. Typically these classes are renewal classes or classes offered on a non-traditional schedule. Core, CE and Prep classes rarely cancel except in cases of an instructor emergency.
Do I get a lunch break?
Yes, in weekday and weekend courses you will get a lunch break every day from 12:30- 1:30.
How do I find a sponsoring broker?
Most students choose a major real estate company to become their sponsoring broker. You do, however, have many choices for your sponsoring broker, such as an independently owned brokerage or leasing agency. We have many job postings at The Real Estate Business School in our break room and on our call board.
I completed my CE class, but TREC sent me a letter saying I haven't gotten credit. What happened?
If you have received a letter from TREC, don’t panic. It means one of two things a) your class roster was not filled out correctly or b) TREC did not process the rosters before your renewal deadline. It is very easy to correct and have your proper credit reported. Call and we’ll take care of it for you, our number is 512-453-0900.
