ARELLO (the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials) approved eight of ProSchools real estate continuing education courses last month!
In January 2009, ProSchools earned accreditation for the following eight real estate continuing education courses:
- Introduction to Brokerage Management
- Starting a Successful Brokerage
- People Management in Real Estate
- Ethics: Pricing, Offers and Advertising
- Ethics: Disclosure and Cooperation
- Leading and Communicating Effectively
- Credit Scoring
- Minimizing Risk with Effective Practices
Many states are now requiring ARELLO certification for online courses due to their stringent accreditation requirements. ARELLO is a national accreditation organization that supports the administration and enforcement of real estate license laws worldwide. Because of the high standards ARELLO has set for both education providers and coursework, courses that pass their standards are like being “blessed.” This means once courses are approved by ARELLO, they are more readily approved on the state level.
Last week our Regulatory Department submitted these eight new ARELLO-approved courses to the Tennessee Real Estate Commission for approval. Since Tennessee folks need 16 hours to renew their license, this will add some choice to the mix of continuing education ProSchools already has available.
ProSchools has already been selling these popular courses in Washington and Oregon for several months under state-level course approval. Eventually, we will offer these eight ARELLO–approved courses in Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, Illinois, Nevada, and Wyoming, all states where we are already an ARELLO-approved provider. After that, we will be looking at new states that require ARELLO approval.
