I've been licensed in two other states and this is by far the most difficult method for learning. The 150 hour online course I had to complete for my Oregon Broker's license was 100x more effective at preparing me for an exam.
The in-person classes here are for audible learners only. Only one instructor so far has used a visual aid. I have learned very, very little in class and have had to self teach myself at home outside of class. However, the book is not set up for self study- doesn't even contain the definitions of the vocabulary words that the instructors stress are important for you to know.
It would be fantastic if they used more power point presentations, short videos, hands on, etc. This class IMO, is only good for clocking your required in-class hours. If you aren't an audible learner, be prepared to completely self-teach yourself outside of class. And since the book isn't complete (like I was told it was) you'll need to purchase CompuCram, and possibly the flashcards and dictionary, as well.
I've had several instructors so far and attended classes at two different locations (Gilbert and Scottsdale- both decent). Staff and instructors are friendly, however not all instructors seem knowledgeable in what they are teaching.
I've never felt less prepared for a test.

This school has classes taught by highly experienced professionals that have several years experience. I took their accelerated 9 day AZ Real Estate crash course and passed the state/federal exam on my first attempt. They know what they're doing! It wasn't easy, but they make sure you know what you need to know. Highly recommend. Lucky I chose them, best school experience I had being a college grad and all.

Jim Passamonte is a great instructor and I have really enjoyed being under his instruction! I hope he teaches more on the west side of the valley!!!

This company needs to be more efficient with their inbound calls, haven't been able to get thru since 10am this morning. Phones just continue to ring and ring and ring and no voicemail has been setup either. I am a current student with questions, now I will be physically stepping in to seek the answers to My questions as they could have been done over the phone. I wish it were easier to get a hold of someone there, but apparently no one is either at the desk or answers phone's.

The website is the worst set up EVER!! Not user-friendly in the least.
The majority of my calls to the office (which most times go unanswered) are to try to get to the right spot on the awful site. Beyond frustrating, bad enough this course & test are tough, you have to deal with this additional annoyance & frustration of being aggravated and wasting time.
You are making a lot of money from people, FIX THIS!!!
