Continuing Education and DRE Forms now available Online

Knowing how difficult it is for REALTORS to find time between open houses and presentations to take required continuing education courses in order to renew their DRE license, CVAR and the Calif. Assoc. of REALTORS have teamed up with learning.net to provide REALTORS with an online catalog of required continuing education courses including all necessary DRE forms.

A wide range of approved courses are available individually or in a money-saving package anytime on the CVAR cvar.com web site. REALTORS can work at their own pace from the comfort and convenience of their home or office. Best of all, upon completing the course and passing the exam, REALTORS can get an immediate certification via e-mail. Those who have waited until the last minute (because they've been so busy selling real estate) will still have time to meet their renewal deadline.

To take advantage of the most cost-effective and painless way to renew your California real estate license, just vist our website at www.cvar.com and click on Area Links and go to the On-line education drop down menu.
