I purchased Royce and Associates online course, passed the state exam and was hired by an Alaskan Real Estateagency in less than 25 days! I call this a major success. Thank you Jerry.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON TRAINING FROM THIS COMPANY! I purchased the pre-licensing course, and the quality was a grave disappointment. Throughout the video lessons, Mr. Royse takes great care to talk bout himself but shares little of value in regard to real estate. For chapters 1-7, which cover general real estate practice, it was relatively easy to utilize Real Estate Prep Agent on YouTube and cross reference topics until I had a thorough understanding of the subjects covered. However, chapter 8 is the only chapter on Alaska Real Estate Law. The law represents a separate exam that only includes only 40 questions, thereby making a thorough understanding of the concepts therein paramount. After watching Mr. Royses 20 hour and 40 hour classlectures over chapter 8, I learned little more than he likes to conduct training in Hawaii so that he can write off his trips while drinking. Thats all fun and games, but it doesnt provide much in the way of understanding the Alaska Real Estate Commissions statutes and regulations. Since I had no way to cross reference the law covered in chapter 8 as I had with the previous chapters contents, I relied heavily on the six practice tests provided in the curriculum to help me interpret and apply the law. After continuously feeling very confused and then failing my first law exam ($100 down the drain), I spent an entire eight hour Sunday trying to compare the chapter 8 tests to nail down my confusion. Well... I found NINE questions with incorrect and conflicting answers on the answer keys... and these are only the ones I found with my novice knowledge. It is no wonder I was so confused trying to first interpret the law one way and then shortly thereafter reteaching myself the same concept again with another correct but incorrect answer. When I brought this issue to Royse and Associates, they were extremely dismissive and acted like the defect was my issue and that I was the only person who has ever had a problem with their reputable company. Well, when I finally got them to go through the test questions I had identified, they verified that they were indeed INCORRECT... in fact, one of the questions didnt even have the correct answer listed on the printable test I was using to study. What a crock! That meant I was studying nine concepts that I now knew of with conflicting application. In a chapter that doesnt cover much, that is a big deal. Royse and Associates dismissed that though. Royse himself wrote a snooty response about how there are literally 2,400 questions that could have been on the law portion of that exam, and that nine typos in his practice tests are not a big deal. I disagree. Nine incorrect questions (again... that I know of) over one, small chapter represent nine concepts misapplied. He also didnt seem concerned about combing back through his material in its entirety to identify other incorrectly provided test answers. As a result, I trashed all of his material as none of it could be trusted as accurate, and I went online to read the law (the version he included in his manual was not even the most recent version) and study it alone. Surprisingly, I passed my exam the very first time utilizing this approach. So... not only was the training provided by Royse and Associates not very helpful in preparing me to take my pre-licensing exam, it was absolutely detrimental to passing the Alaska Law portion of that exam. Therefore, I would highly recommend looking for a training provider with a demonstrated commitment to excellence and one that stands by their product. Unfortunately, Mr. Royse seems concerned only with preserving his own veneer of perceived professional acumen and very dismissive of his complete incompetence and inaccurate curriculum. I certainly wont be giving him or his team anymore of my hard earned money!

Awesome class and not one of those dry ones. Jerry keeps you involved in the classes and they are very interactive.
