After you visit several schools and narrow your choices down to two or three schools, the next step is to ask tough questions about each program so you can make the final selection. Check with each school that you are considering to find out what its specific entrance requirements are. Requirements vary from school to school. Provide the names and phone numbers for three or more personal references If you feel that you won't have any trouble meeting the entrance requirements for your targeted schools, then you're all set. If one of the schools you are considering has an entrance requirement that you think you may not meet, discuss your situation with an admissions counselor.
Many schools offer remedial courses to help students meet basic educational requirements.
In shorter programs, such as a certificate program or individual courses, you'll find more instructors who are currently practicing as real estate professionals. It's important that the school you choose be accredited. Accreditation is a rigorous and complex process that ensures sound educational and ethical business practices at the schools that achieve accreditation. It's a process schools undergo voluntarily. Some accrediting agencies are national and some are regional.
