My wife and I will be moving to southern Ca next summer. She is looking into getting her real estate salesperson license there. Has anyone used or heard about the Allied Real Estate School to get the required education for the license? If so, what are your thoughts? Thank you for the help.

    @Samuel Lynch I used them to get my license.  I didn't buy the books I only used their website to do my studying which was basically access to PDF versions of the books. Their website is a little "old" but, it does the job.  I do recommend getting the books if you can afford them.  Studying by reading PDF on a computer screen is rough on the eyes and hard to stay focused.  They do give you access to practice exams which are super helpful.  Definitely, call them and ask to speak with someone about the test and what exactly you should study.  They did say that you are not tested on the math questions. Of course, you should study for that stuff anyway.

     Allied is great!  I got my CA license in 2004 while sitting at my desk in AZ.  It was a great online program that I finished in my own time.  I highly recommend.
