Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout Online Classes Why did NCREEI start offering online classes? NCREEI specializes in developing and delivering in-class appraisal curriculum designed for the adult learner. Our course developers are subject matter experts who have multiple graduate degrees in education and extensive teaching experience. We prefer in-class continuing education because: 1) the student-instructor and student-student interaction 2) opportunity to employ multiple teaching methods, activities and media, and and 3) because the instructor is able to receive continuous student feedback and direct the instruction to meet the students' needs. Because appraisers and real estate licensees have been asking us for the convenience of online courses for quite some time, NCREEI has collaborated with Hondros Learning to offer a quality online option. Do I have to complete the online course hours at one time? No, you can start and stop as you please. The courses are available via the Internet 24 hours a day and you can work on them as your schedule permits until you complete the course. You should complete a whole section before you stop to avoid having to start that section over. What does the NC Appraisal Board say about online CE? The Board allows up to 14 hours of your 28-hour CE requirement to be online courses. This includes our 7-hour USPAP course. What does the NC Real Estate Commission (NCREC) say about online CE? The Commission allows the four-hour continuing education elective to be completed online. Currently, this elective is the only online education approved by NCREC.

However, if you still want to use a MAC, you will need the latest version of Internet Explorer as well as the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player. Unfortunately, we do not support Macintosh computers at this time. No, you cannot. We suggest that you use another browser while signed on with AOL. To do this, log in to AOL and minimize the program. While still connected to the internet, click on the START button in the lower left hand corner of your screen. Click PROGRAMS, then click INTERNET EXPLORER, the program icon will have a blue "e". While sound is another feature of our courses, it is not necessary for a customer to have sound in order to learn the course material or complete the course. All information played in audio is also displayed in text by the course player. If you get disconnected from the internet, you will need to log back into your account. In this case, you will return to the beginning of the lesson you were working on. You can contact us: | |||
