An online course is similar to a PowerPoint presentation. You read the information on each screen and then click to go to the next screen. The online course providers divide their courses into several sections or units. At the end of each unit, there is a short reading comprehension quiz that you need to pass in order to move to the next unit. (You are given unlimited attempts to pass the quizzes.) How do I obtain a course completion certificate? For all online courses, you will electronically sign an affidavit at the end of your course and the Online Course Coordinator is notified via email. You should receive a certificate within 5 business days from your course completion date. If you need copy of your certificate ASAP, please call us at 1-800-854-0950 or send an email request to cfminc1@verizon.net. Students who complete courses through The CE Shop and Kaplan Real Estate Education will receive their completion certificates directly from those companies via email. Are online courses reciprocal? We have not received anything in writing from neighboring states regarding online course reciprocity. Please contact your state's Real Estate Commission to verify if your out-of-state online course will be accepted for continuing education credit. Can I stop and start my course or do I have to complete it all at once? The course will time stamp where you leave off, so that you can stop and start the course at any time.
