May 2020 – Naples Real Estate School

CAMPUSES REOPEN ON JULY 6

We’re happy to announce that both office locations, Fort Myers and Naples, will reopen with full staff on Monday, July 6. General student visits will be welcomed at that time.

CLASSROOM COURSES RESUME JULY 11

Classroom courses will resume beginning July 11. Seating will be limited to 50% capacity, and tables and chairs will be spread out to allow for social distancing. Students will also have “assigned seating” so that they can sit in the same chair each day.

Additionally, courses will be taught with a “hybrid curriculum”. This means that 1/2 of the instruction will take place on campus in a classroom and the other 1/2 of the instruction will take place online. The classroom session will be taught in the morning and the online session will be conducted in the afternoon on our instructor-led video platform, LarsonLIVE. Evening classes will alternate every other night between classroom and online.

This “hybrid” style of instruction not only minimizes the amount of time students are on campus and interacting with each other and staff, but also offers maximum flexibility for students to complete the required education because they can do the online portion at home and on their own time.

LarsonLIVE ON DEMAND INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSES

We are looking forward to being back in the classroom and seeing students again on campus, but we will have to wait patiently until we reopen in July.

We now have a number of our courses available in our online LarsonLIVE platform and our student feedback has been outstanding. The courses are instructor-led with Larson instructors, video based and can be completed on your own schedule. We’ve already heard from many students who have passed their licensing exams or have successfully renewed their license by taking a LarsonLIVE course.

As always, your tuition for a LarsonLIVE online instructor-led course is valid for a 1-year time period so if you decide that you want to attend a classroom course at a later time, you can do so for no additional charge.

REAL ESTATE LICENSE RENEWAL DATE EXTENDED TO JUNE 1

On April 30, the DBPR announced that they are extending the license renewal date to June 1 for those who originally had a March 31 date, which was subsequently extended to April 30. As of April 30, there were approximately 17,000 real estate license holders in Florida who had not yet renewed.

LarsonLIVE ON DEMAND INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSES

We are hopeful to be back in the classroom soon, but as of today we do not expect that to happen for at least a few more weeks.

However, we now have a number of our courses available in our online LarsonLIVE platform. The courses are instructor-led with Larson instructors, video based and can be completed on your own schedule.
