Our next pre-licensing class begins November 30 and goes week days through December 10th. Before class, students need to finish their online course of 54 hours. To sign up for the online course go to www.RushmoreSchoolofRealEstate.com & click on the Pre-License link. There is a link there to the online course, and I have the corresponding book for the course. The cost is still grandfathered in at the early-2009 rate of $950 plus tax ($1007 total). It will be going up in 2010. The first $500 is payable online as part of the sign-up for the online course. The fee covers all of the materials for the entire course. The balance is due the first day of the classroom training. The 62-hours in class include nine weekdays. Monday through Friday of the first week (November 30 - December 4) run 8:30-4:30 with an hour off for lunch each day. The following week follows the same schedule for Mon December 7 - Wed December 9. On Thursday December 10 we meet 8:30 - 3:30 with an hour off for lunch.
