Latest news

When will I receive the Zoom links to get into my classes?

All Zoom links are included on the email receipt you receive after you register for your specific classes. Additionally, an email with connection instructions and the Zoom link, compliance details and course materials will be sent to you by 5 p.m. the business day prior to the start of the class, and again in a reminder email two hours prior to the start of the class.

Visit our FAQ page for additional details.

When will my credits be reported to the state real estate jurisdictions?

It is not an automated process; we do it by hand, one by one. Thank you in advance for your patience.

For Maryland and Virginia licensees, we have 14 business days to report your classes to the Commission.

Maryland licensees may verify your credits by logging on to the MREC website, Maryland Real Estate Commission website, by calling 410-230-6200 or by emailing mrec@dllr.state.md.us

For VA licensees, we will report your credits to DPOR within 10 business days.  You can also verify your credits by logging on the DPOR website: Virginia Real Estate Commission website or 804-367-8500, REBoard@dpor.virginia.gov

For D.C. licensees, you will be issued a certificate within 14 business days of successful class completion. Please retain this certificate for your records. Since DLCP’s system has not launched, there is currently no way for GCAAR to report your credits to the D.C. Real Estate Commission nor for you to verify your credits. You can access additional information at the DC Real Estate Commission’s website, including contact information.
