Q.01What's the difference between Online and Live Zoom?
Both cover the identical DBPR-mandated 14-hour curriculum and both produce the same certificate. Online ($40) is self-paced in SFCC's own student portal — start instantly, finish whenever, final exam at the end. Live Zoom ($99) is one weekend live with a Florida-licensed instructor — Saturday and Sunday, real-time Q&A, no final exam. Same outcome, different style.
Q.02Do I have to complete all 14 hours in one sitting?
No. The online course lets you pause and resume anytime. Most students finish in 3–5 sessions over a week. The Zoom class is split across Saturday and Sunday — about 7 hours each day with breaks.
Q.03How is completion reported to the DBPR?
We electronically transmit your completion to the DBPR promptly after you finish — well inside the state's reporting deadline. You'll also receive a PDF certificate immediately by email for your records.
Q.04Can I take this course in Spanish?
Yes — our live classes are taught in English, and we set up dedicated Spanish classes on request. Call (305) 316-5587 and we'll arrange a Spanish weekend for you.
Q.05What if I fail the final exam?
The final exam only applies to the Online (self-paced) version. If you don't pass, Florida's rule is that you repeat the course, then take a different version of the exam — and repeating it with us costs nothing. That's our free re-enrollment policy. Live Zoom and in-person classes don't have a final exam — full attendance through both days completes the course.
Q.06"Your next renewal course is on us" — what's the catch?
No catch. Renew with us now and your next 14-hour CE course with us is free — same live weekend format. Why do it? We're a family school — we'd rather keep a student for years than spend that money on advertising.
Q.07Is this course approved by the DBPR?
Yes. South Florida Career Center is a DBPR-approved real estate school (license ZH1002688). The Online version is delivered in SFCC's own portal under DBPR course 0023121. The Live Zoom version is taught under our school's approval.
Q.08What's your refund policy?
Online: full refund within 30 days if you've completed no more than 50% of the course. Live Zoom: full refund up to 48 hours before your class start time. Email us anytime — we're flexible if circumstances change.
