Do I have to be computer savvy?
No. Our system is designed so that anyone who can click a mouse can navigate through our courses. We even have a video about how to navigate that we suggest you watch before starting the course.

Are the classes just reading material online?
No. Our classes contain audio and video and are entertaining as well as informative.

Do I need a high speed Internet connection?
Yes. Beginning August 15th, 2008 a high speed Internet connection (DSL/Cable, etc.) will be required to register for any of our online courses. Even a slower DSL connection (256k or lower) may cause you to experience wait times as videos and other multimedia resources load. If you have any questions about whether your computer setup meets our technical requirements, please contact us via email before registering for any courses.

Do I need a new computer?
While a new computer would work great, any computer with a decent processor and at least 512MB of RAM should work fine.

Do I have to take the entire section/class at one time?
No. You can log in and out as much as you want.

How much time will it take to complete a C.E. class?
All of our Kentucky online continuing education (C.E.) classes are certified as 3-hour courses. It will take most people right around 3 hours to complete the course although it could take slightly less or slightly more time.

How much time will it take to complete the pre-license class?
It's a 96 hour course, but it could take slightly less or more than 96 hours. People that have a slow Internet connection tend to take longer because they must wait for material to load. You have to complete all the resources in order to finish regardless of the time it takes.

Is there a test? At the end of the class you are required to take a final exam and achieve a passing score of 75%. This is a Kentucky Real Estate Commission requirement, but if you don’t pass the test on your first try, you are allowed to immediately retake the test. For continuing education courses, the test is online as part of the course. For the prelicense course, you must take a test in front of one of our approved "proctors" at one of 20 locations throughout the state of Kentucky. If necessary we can also arrange for a proctor to administer the test in other locations.

How long do I have to complete a continuing education course?
You have six months from when you begin or till the end of the year. (whichever is shorter) For instance if you started November 15th, you’d need to complete the class by December 31st because that’s when Kentucky requires courses to be completed. Per Kentucky real estate commission rules, there are no exceptions to this rule. Just because you register doesn’t mean you have to start the course. You can register today and start whenever it’s convenient.

How long do I have to complete the 96 hour pre-license course?
You have six months from when you start the course. This time can be extended based on individual circumstances such as sickness or death of a family member.

Can I get Kentucky approved credit for an online course?
Yes. We are approved by ARELLO and the Kentucky Real Estate Commission (KREC) and you get completion credit just like you would in an "in classroom" setting.

Are your online classes approved by ARELLO? Yes. Our online classes have been certified by the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) as meeting their strict approval standards. At this point in time, Thornton’s Real Estate Academy is the only approved ARELLO Primary Provider (creator of their own classes) in Kentucky.

How much do the classes cost?
Each 3 hour continuing education course is $30
96 Hour Prelicense Course is $579

Do you have a payment plan?
No. We accept checks, VISA, MASTERCARD, or AMERICAN EXPRESS.

How do I register to take an online real estate class?
You’ll create a new account and then you’ll pick/pay/register for the class you’ve selected.
