Your online courses are engineered to “remember” where you left off, so you can return to a given section at a later time. We suggest using the navigation buttons, including the EXIT button, provided in the online course so that this feature works properly. The next time you enter your course you will be presented with a textbox asking if you’d like to return to the bookmarked page.

Yes, the tutorial is mandatory. The brief tutorial ensures that the student understands the specific requirements of the course (information regarding state regulations are available) and is comfortable with the course’s basic navigation and functionality. This brief tutorial enhances the student experience by providing a detailed introduction to how the course works.

You will only be required to move through the tutorial one time for each title you chose. After completing the tutorial, the student will still have access to it by clicking the Help button.

No, students may not bypass the tutorial. Navigation of the tutorial is mandatory for each and every title. This ensures that the student gets a “refresher” of course functionality each time they begin a new title. Further, different products may have different functionalities and have different tutorial content.

“PDF” stands for portable document format. According to the Adobe® Web site, a PDF is a “universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, graphics and layout of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. Adobe® PDF files are compact and complete and can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software.

PDFs are the best way to ensure that critical information, such as a student affidavit, can be displayed in a readable format on the student’s machine. In some instances, some course content, such as a contract, may be available to the student as a PDF.

In the tutorial, you are able to test your system to determine whether or not the appropriate version of the software is currently installed. If the Reader® software is already on the student’s computer, a PDF will open that contains a brief confirmatory.

If you do not have the Reader® software, you will be directed to the appropriate websites for free downloads.

Yes. Once you finish your course, you must sign the affidavit and return the original to:

Eastern Connecticut Association of Realtors

238 West Town St.

Norwich, CT 06360

Once the affidavit is received a certificate of completion and continuing education certificate will be mailed to you. This is your proof that you completed the course and would be provided to the State of Connecticut audited your continuing education history.

The online courses are organized into units. Each unit is made of up a series of lessons. In the online courses, students can view and select the units and lessons for their course from the “Classroom” or “Study Plan” links. In order to fully complete a course for Connecticut continuing education credit, you must complete all lessons in a unit before being able to access the unit exam. However, State of Connecticut’s Real Estate Commission does not require a final exam to pass and receive credit for a continuing education course.
