The American School of Real Estate is the nation’s oldest 100% online real estate license school, birthed in the mid-1990’s on the radical (at that time) proposition that students could actually learn faster and better through the efficiencies of the Internet. Although we believed strongly in the research, and had proven the thesis in countless studies, as the first school committed to 100% Internet delivery, we often had to “sell” real estate commissioners in various jurisdictions on the idea. Although we were members of ASTD, SALT, and other learning think tanks, in those early days of IBT, most states boards of professional registrations did not even have wording in their legislation to allow for online learning, let alone a system to approve it.

Thanks to visionary decisions in a few early adopting states like Missouri and Georgia, by 1996 a few jurisdictions began to write legislation to allow students to take their real estate license training courses online, and of course, we were there. It didn’t hurt that the statistics that started coming in from examination boards showed that our online students beat out the live classroom students hands down, time and time again! The press was pretty kind to us back then too.
