Is a Real Estate Agent course helpful to my education?

[Obed H. Bey]

I'm just starting (haven't done a deal yet) and want to learn the important details to avoid major mistakes. I know "experience is the best teacher" and the key is ACTION!, but I don't have deals or time to burn unnecessarily. I'm networking on BP and sharing my plans with others while hoping to organically develop a relationship that will turn into a mentorship. I know I can do this, I just need to get a feel for the game and I'll be off and running.

Will taking a real estate agent course speed up my learning curve? If yes, any suggestions in the Philadelphia area?

If no, why?

Finally, I'm open to any all suggestions, connections, and input that will be helpful in my journey.
