Washington ~Instructor Led~ Continuing Education Broker and Managing Broker Course

Instructor led course, one on one with, C. MarLene McKinley, a predominant instructor with a proven successful record. MarLene contributes her students’ success rate to being well versed and experienced in “andragogy”, which is the art/science of teaching adults.

Once you finish the final exam on the Pre-Licensing portion, most schools will wave goodbye and wish you luck.  Not us, the course does not end until you pass the state exam.

“We Hold Your Hand Until You Pass any and all Exams” *

Ask yourself, “Do other schools offer all these benefits and will the school assist me in preparing for the any and all exam until I pass?”
