I took the crash course with Gene and he was fantastic. He made the time go quickly, gave great examples to help retain the information and you could tell he genuinely wanted the best for all the students. All the tools Chamberlin has available are helpful in preparing and passing the test. I would recommend this school to others looking to gain their license. Take the crash course with Gene it is key to passing! read less

HOW COURSES WORK
The Chamberlin online courses will better prepare you to take and pass the California State Examination as compared to traditional home-study offerings. Sample questions similar to those you will encounter on the state exam are drawn from a database and distributed throughout the courses.
These online courses use the same high quality content you would expect from a college level textbook. The content is then delivered through an engaging and interactive format.
Common Questions
