California RE agent Pre-Licensing course

[Arif Siddiqi]

I have an opportunity to attend a 2 day weekend RE pre-licensing course here in Bay Area. The instructor says that it will satisfy CA state mandated 135 hrs RE education and all other pre-requisite requirements to qualify for RE licensing exam. The charges are $595. The instructor has a brokerage firm and he mentions that he will reimburse the fees once, I pass the exam and starts working with his firm as RE agent and close my first RE sales deal. Does anyone has experience with such type of courses. Personally I am ready to invest to get my RE license but just want to make sure if I am doing the right thing. Any comments will be highly appreciated
