Recommended Real Estate Courses - Online vs In-Person

[Michael Strachan]

I've decided to start a career as a real estate agent. Hooray! My understanding is that the first step for me (as a California resident) would be to take a licensing course. My dilemma is that I'm not sure whether to take them online, as I've seen a lot of reasonably priced options, or to take them in-person, in a class room, with a teacher and other students. I've taken online classes before for college and never learned as well as I would have if I had a real-life instructor. I would like your insight! Do you have any recommendations either way? Please share your experience with your pre-licensing education, and whether you found it to be beneficial.
