Our Head Instructor Don Schwartz has probably been teaching this longer than any other instructor in the entire field… we can only think of one other that might be in running. Our Head Instructor’s Video/DVD presentation which includes test taking hints is far superior to others and most schools don’t even offer anything on video.
卓越计划
The most valuable and important piece of our program. 龙8国际娱乐官的考试复习指南(用于国家考试的学习目的)是由龙8国际娱乐官的首席讲师开发的, 是谁多年来向学生汇报并研究了该领域所有与房地产考试相关的材料. Through a long a tedious process he extracted all the vocabulary and subject matter that he felt would be pertinent to the State Exam and put it into a 178-pg outline (substituted for Qualification Course textbooks totaling 1350+ pages in small print). 这使龙8国际娱乐官的学生能够准确地学习所需的知识，避免浪费时间学习不必要的信息.

现场授课和在家学习有什么区别?
生活的讲座 (What some students think they need)
自1941年龙8国际娱乐官家族开始参与房地产考试准备领域以来，以及之后的许多年, 传统的教学方法是参加8个系列的现场讲座(课). (通常在必修课程之前的3-4个月). Offering the lectures given at different times throughout the week worked to a certain degree but had many drawbacks; students often would miss classes, students would take too long to attend all the lectures and by the time they took their State Exam would forget a lot of the information taught in some of the beginning lectures, students would waste a lot of time asking questions, some non-pertinent to the information taught and many times questions that were answered by the instructor later on in the lecture, students would fall asleep in class, or not paying attention would miss a lot of the lecture, 学生重复上课的唯一方法就是在有下一堂课的时候开车回去上课. 除了, when we offered live lectures, It was much more costly for our students as we needed to hire other instructors in areas around the state to teach the classes. 去年, students always preferred to take the lectures taught by our Head Instructor “Don Schwartz” who couldn’t possibly be able to teach in all the locations and at all times.
HOMESTUDY 什么最有效!)
许可证准备
在龙8国际娱乐官继续努力寻找方法，使龙8国际娱乐官的程序更容易，提高通过率, in 1976, our family looked at a rather unique program, 他们试图在一个周末内教授整个系列讲座. 龙8国际娱乐官喜欢这个想法, but knew it was lacking some very important components that could vastly improve its outcome and went ahead and designed our own “weekend review” with those changes. We later found by doing this, 让龙8国际娱乐官的学生更好地记住课堂上教的内容, and within a few short months practically all our students switched over to the cram session and we soon discontinued the weekday sessions.
This went so well locally, 龙8国际娱乐官决定在全州范围内扩展，并开始寻找教师，寻找在这些地区教学的个人. After extensive interviews, 人们意识到，很少有人有知识来教授这样的课程, without several years of previous training. After interviewing over 100 potential instructors, we had only found three that turned out to be able to do so. But no matter how many instructors taught the classes, 学生们似乎总是想参加唐·施瓦茨的课程. 然后决定做一些其他重要的调整，包括削减时间, where now we are able to present this entire lecture session portion using a information packed 6+ hour video presentation on Video/DVD.
In recent years with the technology now available, 唐决定把他的整个准备课程放到网上，包括周末复习6+视频演示, 创造一个学生可以“随时随地”学习的环境. Then to make our study program without compare, 在学习过程中，唐会亲自回答学生的问题.
资格课程
Considering the fact that these courses are not meant to prepare students for the actual State Exam and serve only as a prerequisite, we wanted to create a situation in which our students could pass these courses the easiest way possible and in the shortest period of time. 这就是为什么大多数像龙8国际娱乐官这样的学校也选择“在家学习”来完成这些课程. Very few schools today offer live classes. 龙8国际娱乐官发现只有1到2个在这些现场课程中教授资格课程材料. Ultimately students end up taking more time to complete the qualification portion of the program and worst yet the information they learn during these live sessions is not focused to the actual State Exam.
龙8国际娱乐官家族从事房地产教育业务的时间比几乎所有其他学校都要长，并且利用龙8国际娱乐官的专业知识, we recommend completing these courses as soon as possible and use a license preparation program to study information that will be more focused to the actual state exam.
