    Many states have strict guidelines about completing online education in way less time than prescribed by the state. Sounds like your state is not one of them. "Aren't state commerce departments supposed to regulate the local real estate industry and protect consumers?" Yes. It's up to the state to set minimum standards. It's up to the real estate industry to take it from there and make it better. If you want and need courses on contract law, ask your local Realtor association for them OR go find classes like that through your state Bar Association. Often these classes are approved for continuing legal ed credits for attorneys and also for real estate continuing ed. A survey was done by WA State several years ago and we found out that the majority of agents wait until 60 days before their renewal date to take ALL of their CE classes. This puts the agent at a disadvantage in having to settle for whatever they can get for CE credits. In terms of looking for that last 2 credit class, many states set a minimum number of hours for class approval such as 3 hours. It's really hard to do much learning in less than that. I'm not surprised that you're continuing ed experience was sub-par this year after hearing how distracted you were while trying to take your class. Maybe you can make some different choices for your next renewal cycle and then write again and....hopefully your experience will be better. :)

    "If only more of us had had the courage to speak up sooner" Marcy there were PLENTY of people who spoke up about the problems in the mortgage lending industry as far back as 2001, 2002. 2003, 2004, 2005....etc. Find them and ask them what happened when they spoke up.
