- 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.
Just click a link down below for more information.
Live Streaming classes coming soon at LarsonEd
EXCITING UPDATE from LarsonEd: We are currently working on getting all of our classroom courses DBPR approved for “Live Streaming.” What this means is that even if our students are not able to physically attend class at our Fort Myers or Naples campus, they’d be able to complete their education while still experiencing our awesome instructors and curriculum in real time! Same instructors, same curriculum, same customer service, same awesome experience. But all from the comfort of home.
Our plan is to be able to launch this new capability by the time our classes start back up on April 13, 2020. This plan includes ALL of our current classroom courses:
- 63 Hour Sales Associate Pre Licensing
- 45 Hour Sales Associate Post Licensing
- Real Estate Licensing Exam Prep
- 72 Hour Broker Pre Licensing
- 60 Hour Broker Post Licensing
- 14 Hour Real Estate CE
- 16 Hour CAM Pre Licensing
- 15 Hour CAM CE
- 20 Hour Mortgage Pre-Licensing
We’ll definitely keep you updated as we make progress on this and we’ll share how to get signed up for these classes as they become available. Stay tuned! ~ Brad Larson
COVID-19 UPDATE: Impact on LarsonEd classes and hours
If you are registered for a classroom course in March or are already attending one, you may be wondering if class will be held. The short answer is yes. We are closely following the recommendations from the CDC and our local health authorities.
For all remaining classes through March 31, we are capping our class enrollments to 2/3 of our classroom capacity to allow for more space between students. This means that we will have no more than 40 students in any class, when we can normally accommodate about 70.
In addition to capping our class enrollments, our facilities are sanitized with disinfectant at the end of each day. Throughout the day our team continues to circulate the facilities wiping down handles, counters, and doors. We also are making available sanitizer wipes and hand sanitizers for student use.
We’re encouraging sick students and team members to stay home if they exhibit any illness symptoms, including the common cold, flu or coronavirus.
As always, our enrollment policy is very flexible and your tuition payment is valid for one year. If you have any questions or would like to move your enrollment date to a future class date, or you would like to move to an online course option, please reach out to our friendly Career Counselors at 239-344-7510 or by email at info@LarsonEd.com.
Until further notice, we will be closing our offices 1 hour early to allow more time for our staff to clean and sanitize our facilities. Our office and phone hours are now 8:30am – 4:00pm.
Please do what you need to do to stay safe and healthy, and just know that we will do our best to accommodate any changes you wish to make. As of the time of this post, all April classes are running as scheduled. ~ Brad Larson
