This course is offered via home study and online presentation. There is no attendance required in this home study or online course. The student reads the textbook; answers quiz questions in either home study or online format, and must pass the final examination either under the home study guidelines or online guidelines.
The student does not need to pass the quizzes with a particular score. However, each college¬-level course requires the student to pass the final examination with a score of 70% or higher to receive credit for the course. Each final examination consists of 100 multiple-choice questions and takes three (3) hours to complete. The questions reflect a good overall coverage of the subject. In the event the student does not pass the final examination, the entire course must be retaken.
Under home study guidelines, final examinations may not be furnished directly to the student. Final examinations must be submitted under sealed envelopes to a qualified Test Administrator whom Executive Programs has chosen. When participating in a home study program, a student must provide the Test Administrator/Monitor with a current form of identification acceptable by the Department of Real Estate. A 45-hour course may be completed in as little as 2 ½ weeks. Although a student may complete a license qualification course in as little as 2 ½ weeks, the student must complete the course within the contract enrollment period in order to get credit for the course. If all of the assignments and final examination are not completed within the contract enrollment period, the course will expire and no credit will be given toward any part. If the student does not complete the course within the contract period, continuation will require re-enrollment and payment of additional fees. Enrollees are advised and cautioned that this educational institution maintains student records for a five (5) year period only.
Students may request a convenient time and date for the final exam and may also suggest the proctor or entity to administer the final exam. However, final designation and approval of the final exam Test Administrator and determination of the time and date is the Sponsor’s responsibility. The Test Administrator cannot be related by blood, marriage, domestic partnership, or any other relationship to the student taking the exam which would influence them from properly administering the exam. If an exam Proctor will be used, the Sponsor must send the exam materials directly to the Proctor and the Proctor must return the materials directly to the Sponsor. Under no circumstances may the final exam be furnished directly to the students. The Sponsor is required to take steps to protect the integrity of the exam and to prevent cheating in an examination.
Under online guidelines, the final examination must be completed by the student within three (3) hours with a score of 70% or higher to receive credit for the course. The student may complete the college-level license qualification course in as few as 2½ weeks, however, the student must complete the course within the contract enrollment period, and continuation will require re-enrollment and payment of additional fees. Enrollees are cautioned that this educational institution maintains student records for a five (5) year period only.

Students are required to log in, using unique username and password. The final examination segment is not printable and will automatically time out after the mandated time limit.
The final examination segment is neither printable nor downloadable. The final examination segment will “time-out” after the allotted time has expired; the student is not allowed to continue working on the final examination segment after the expiration of the allotted time. The time to complete the final examination segment starts when the student first accesses the online final examination segment. The final examination segment offered online is the same as the final examination segment approved by the DRE for the traditional correspondence courses using and Test Administrator. The only material that student can use to complete an open-book final examination segment is the course materials that have been approved by DRE for that particular course. Executive Programs cannot provide assistance to the student during the administration of the final examination segment; each student must complete the final examination segment by himself/herself. Executive Programs will instruct the student that they are required to spend the requisite number of study hours and of the DRE approved course material before taking the final examination segment, i.e., a 45 hour course requires 45 hours of study time; a 15 hour course requires a 15 hours of study time; a 3 hour course requires 3 hours of study time.
