A few years later, the Olivers prepared the course to be offered and completed via correspondence. That course was well received across the entire state, and beyond. While offering the pre-licensing course, Jack and Carol learned that there was no course offered to prepare candidates for the Broker’s exam. After many months of unsuccessful conversations with the Real Estate Commission’s personnel, they gave up on the creating such a course. Jack then changed his tactics and suggested that the Education Director assist in creating a Brokers’ course. The Director quizzed Jack on what he thought should be covered, adding topics he wanted taught as well, and then authorized Jack to put together a draft copy of his curriculum for final review and approval. Jack and Carol completed the Broker’s course project in 2000 and were approved for its implementation. During 2001 they received approval to offer it via correspondence. Like the pre-licensing course, the Broker’s course was well received around the state; aided by it, many agents were able to successfully pass the Broker’s exam.
