Opportunity and life are like growing a tree. Both take time and investment for a successful future.
But first -
You need to make an educational investment into yourself.
Join me in our real estate classroom to make that opportunity a reality.
Please see the WVC Real Estate Course list for a complete list with course descriptions. All are CSU transferable and accepted by the Department of Real Estate.
Starting the Fall 2023 semester, tuition-free, non-credit Real Estate courses. While not transferrable to CSU, they meet the Department of Real Estate's education requirements.
Allow me to repeat the salient points. Both course options meet the DRE's education requirement. In fact they are the same course, but with different administrative options. The non-credit classes are not transferable, as they are WVC School of Continuing Education courses with a vocational focus.

Summer session, 29-business day accelerated term.
Taught in my 29-day summer session and 15-week Spring and Fall semesters.
Our meeting place is on the Internet in a Canvas classroom. It is open around the clock, every day.
One can think of our classroom as scheduled independent study.
Independent as in you manage you own time, completing and submitting homework assignments prior to each study module's assignment deadline.
My courses include a defined study calendar for our 15 study modules.
The Fall & Spring terms cover one study module per week.
The accelerated 29 business-day summer session covers three study modules per week.
Assignments
Each study module includes homework assignments inclusive of a crossword puzzle, practice quiz, and a narrative discussion question.
Each course includes a mid-term and final exam too. 😵
Let me start by saying what they aren't:
They not a correspondence course.
They are not a course using the likes of Zoom on a defined schedule.
They are not a course with scheduled meetings or sessions.
Rather, our asynchronous classroom is an open learning environment with no scheduled meetings.
I stress the lack of scheduled meetings; as we could, as a class decide to have an ad-hoc Zoom session.
Our classroom is open 24-hours a day, 7-days a week via the internet.
Distant learning with unlimited classroom access.
As an online class, we use the 'Canvas' distant learning management system from our PC or Smartphone.
Canvas is accessed using your a web browser from either your PC or smartphone.
Or using the Smartphone app.
What could be better?
We have a defined study and homework schedule. Think of it as scheduled independent study.
My courses include 15 study modules.
One per week in the Fall & Spring terms; and three a week in summer.
Each study module includes homework assignments.
Each course includes a mid-term and final exam too. 😵
I feel strongly Real Estate must be taught in High School, as everyone needs a place to live. For most, a home is our most significant lifetime expense. Yet, our educational system fails to prepare us for this important undertaking. The Real Estate Principles class will help you obtain foundation skills for those all important rental and purchase decisions. This is a starting point from which you can stop or continue your RE educational journey.
As for a Real Estate vocation. Everyone needs a home, a place to work. And helping with real property transactions is an army of RE professionals such as agents/brokers, appraisers, escrow officers, loan originators, underwriters, and countless others.
Each of the aforementioned career paths starts with real estate license obtainment from a state licensing agency. In California, the Department of Real Estate (DRE) sets our education requirements for exam entry. At minimum, you need three RE classes to submit an application for a salesperson's exam. And eight courses plus experience hours for a broker's license.
