I took the Accredited Home Staging Specialist (AHS) course and really enjoyed learning skills and gaining resources to serve my clients. Although when I took this course many years ago, I continue to remain glad I did today. The course is not only informative and relevant to our jobs in the field, clients also see great value in how we are able to better help them prepare and present well for the market. Great course, highly recommend.

I remember taking the CSP courses and earning the certification via RealtyU. I thought at the time they were a Great Online Education Resource and still do. Their website is very user friendly, and they offer (either directly or in conjunction with) agent and broker continuing education class packages for almost all, if not all, states at a very reasonable price. While there are other competitors with equivalent offerings, RealtyU likely has the broadest reach.

Always looking for resources for real estate credit hours?? If Maryland is the location, consider the National Academy of Professional Development.
They hold classes in a convenient location in Frederick, Maryland. Classrooms are bright and the instructors EXCELLENT.
During the break or between classes, since the location is the Hampton Inn, the hotel gym is available. Just ask for access.

Part 1 - Great Education Value and Resource.
I have not yet earned any designations here, but going by what they offer, soon I may learn something from this site.
Education always wins - and this is the site where one can learn a lot.
There are many designations you can earn here - and depending on the time and type of market,
it is very important to learn about that specialty - for example in 2009, it was very important to learn about Short Sales.

RealtyU stands for Realty University, I guess - based on the educational product they offer to us - real estate professionals.
It is always 5-star for me and I wish they were somewhere nearby.
Here is the history of RealtyU - just an FYI, to consolidate my 5-star review for them.
---------
RealtyU
RealtyU founded in 1995 is the leading provider of real estate education, real estate training, real estate courses, real estate business planning, real estate universities, real estate professional development, and real estate designations.

I will share more about the designations of RealtyU in my subsequent reviews.

Another reason why I like RealtyU is - the training through RealtyU is what the real estate market requires - the skills and the approach to handle current market needs.

1. C S P - Certified Short-Sale Professional
2. C N S - Certified Neighborhood Specialist
3. A H S - Accredited Home-Staging Specialist

Disclaimer: I have not enrolled in any of these courses.

There is no Pre License Test for New Jersey. This is not the first time I came across this as it seems the New Jersey test is specific to New Jersey. The site / Company does seem to offer many products and varying pricing. I gave it 5 stars because they do offer so many product and it simply didn't seem far to penalise them for not have my state list in the Pre Licensing for agents ...

Realty U®, founded in 1995, was part of Inner Circle Education (ICE), and was the end result of six real estate schools that worked together to provide their students a better real estate education.
In 2001, ICE changed its name to RealtyU®. Visit their webpages and especially look at the fine selection of real estate books and educational materials that are available online. You'll be glad you did.
