Receiving Your REC-33 Certificate
In order for you to receive your REC-33 Certificate of Completion of educational requirements you must successfully pass (75% or greater) the final exams for each course and the final exams for each exam prep module. You can take all exams on the internet, and the exams are instantly graded.

The REC-33 and Certificate of Eligibility will be electronically submitted to PSI and the Colorado Real Estate Commission when the two exam prep finals have been successfully passed and we are notified of date you have reserved to take the Colorado broker exam.

Course Materials
The following materials are provided by VanEd:
  • The VanEd Study Guide (online eBook)
  • The Colorado Real Estate Commission Manual, hereinafter referred to as "Manual" (online eBook)
  • The reference book Modern Real Estate Practice by Fillmore W. Galaty, Wellington J. Allaway, and Robert C. Kyle, 17th Edition

Optional Printed Study Guide: A printed and bound version of the study guide available at an additional charge. The study guide is identical to the online course content, but in a convenient printed format for offline reading and future reference.

Testing
Exams are taken online and may be taken multiple times. All practice / unit exams must be passed before accessing the final exam in that same course. A greater number of multiple-choice test questions are created to help you feel comfortable with the testing methodology. If you do not receive a passing score, you can only attempt the same course final exam twice in one day, in order to give you more time for review. Once the final exam is passed, there are no restrictions on retaking the same final exam.

Two Exam Prep finals must also be passed: one covering the first course, Law & Practice, which tests what you must know to pass the general portion of the Colorado broker exam; and one covering the material tested on the state specific portion (Colorado Contracts, Real Estate Closings, and Trust Accounts and Record Keeping).

Exams may be repeated without limitation; however, we strongly recommend thoroughly reviewing the material again any time an exam is not passed before attempting the same exam again.

VanEd Pass Guarantee
Van Education Center is confident that if you are successful in our course, you will pass both portions of the Colorado licensing exam on your first try. And while most pass guarantees refund only your state exam fee, VanEd is willing to back it up with a full money-back guarantee!

But what does that mean to our students?

VanEd will refund the entire cost of your pre-licensing program, up to $695, to any student that fails either portion of the licensing exam.
