Commercial Module (7 Hours)

The purpose of this course is to provide licensed standard salespersons with a high level of knowledge and understanding regarding key areas of real estate practice. Content areas introduced in pre-license coursework will be further developed, amplified and reinforced. Material presented will enable the salesperson to “bridge” from their basic licensing experience to a high level or real world professional practice.
