GBI could've saved the extra money and … I could've saved the extra money and trip twice a week and just paid to take the course online. Everything you need to know is in the books, which you have to read regardless to understand and pass the course exams. Being in the class was not useful as we reviewed basic information but none of it applied to the exams and most importantly the terms. The instructor was nice and informative but not necessary to attend the class (in my opinion).

GBThe school itself was great but. . . The school itself was great! Teaching format as well as the practice exams in the book. Really liked how the online guidance prepared you for the test. I gave it 3 stars because during my 3 month enrollment we had teachers change frequently. Some didn't teach at a level that I felt was sufficient. Taught you as if you were familiar with real estate and not being new to it. With that going into detail about particular subjects, really making sure you got it and understood it was non existent. Felt like I learned more by reading the chapters instead of the classroom setting. When the owner of the company subbed I felt like I learned more in that one day then I did during the entire classroom enrollment. With that being said I made sure to study the book, questions and the practice exams sufficently and passed the exam on the first try. I am now a CA licensed real estate salesperson!

GBTotal waste of time and $$ Total waste of time. Instructor just reads off powerpoint slides and was unprepared.

GBDecent experience. I wasn't really sure how to rate this school, 3 or 4 stars. Staff is definitely friendly and attentive. Everyone is quite nice in fact. But I feel like that only goes so far. My professor was pretty knowledgeable about most subjects but the classes seemed superfluous. Almost nothing taught in the class had anything to do with the books. The powerpoints for the modules also seemed unrelated to the questions in the quizzes and final tests. There is a lot of time spent learning certain "catchphrases" and not so much time spent on other more important things. Maybe I didn't jive with the teacher's technique? All classes seemed a repetition of the previous one because of the repetition of these catchphrases. The books are dense, typical textbooks. The website doesn't work very well on safari, so use Chrome. All in all I had a good experience but you can go ahead and skip the classes and just do the online if you find yourself capable. Their final exam prep and review remains to be seen, but they show you step by step how to fill out the state application which I thought was very valuable. I give it a thumbs up.
