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.
How do I qualify for the guarantee?
For our 168 Credit Hour students, if you fail the state exam on your first attempt within 11 weeks from registration:
- Provide us with a copy of your PSI exam result.
- Speak with an instructor and review the course material in order to re-take and pass VanEd's Summary Exams.
- Re-take the state exam.
- Upon our receipt of your second state exam results, we will refund you the entire course fee.
You will remain active in our program so that you may continue to review, and will also be contacted by an instructor who will provide a detailed study plan to ensure that your next attempt is a success. This program is available for our 168 hr program only, and is not available on individual courses or other packages at this time.
How can VanEd provide this guarantee?
With our knowledge of the licensing requirements, unmatched level of instruction and program support, and with over 10 years of online instruction we know that if you follow our program you WILL succeed. Our confidence in your success stems from our experience in Colorado education.
Our faculty represents more than 100 years in real estate education, and our program and systems will teach you not only how to pass the state exam, but also how to succeed in the field. We are the oldest, largest online education provider in Colorado and one of the oldest real estate schools in the Country. We can help you get to where you want to be.
Don't just take our word for it, take our guarantee. You will pass the state exam and we will help you do it!
Often times we are asked if there are any companies hiring in the area, or if VanEd has a placement program.
VanEd does not have any type of job placement program. However, a number of companies have contacted us directly asking to share information with our students.
Please CLICK HERE to open our Colorado Brokerage Firms list.
These companies have indicated a willingness to speak with you about the possibility of working at their firm. While employment is not guaranteed, these firms have hired new licensees in the past. You are free to contact them directly at any time. We would be happy to speak with you about programs or business models, or simply answer general questions you may have about working in the Real Estate Industry. However, VanEd has no affiliation with any of these firms.
Many firms have training programs designed to enhance your experience in the industry right away. VanEd suggests interviewing with multiple firms before making a selection. It's your career and future. We want you to make certain it's moving in the direction you would like.
