Frequently Asked Questions

How do online courses work?
An online course is similar to reading a PowerPoint presentation. You read the information on each screen and then click to go to the next screen. Both online course providers divide their courses into several sections, or units. At the end of each unit there is a short reading comprehension quiz that you need to pass in order to move to the next unit. (You are given unlimited attempts to pass the quizzes.) At the end of the course, there is a final multiple choice "exam" or review that you must take in order for the course to be marked as completed.

How do I obtain a course completion certificate?
For Cengage courses, you will electronically sign an affidavit at the end of your course and then the Online Course Coordinator is notified via email. You should receive a certificate within 5 business days from your course completion date. For RECampus courses, the Online Course Coordinator is notified via email when you complete your course and then she will email an affidavit to you in Microsoft Word format. You will receive your certificate within 5 business days after we receive your signed affidavit. If you need a copy of your certificate ASAP, please call us at 1-800-339-6089 or send an email to frederickacademypa@comcast.net to request a fax copy.

Are online courses reciprocal?
We have not received anything in writing from neighboring states regarding online course reciprocity. Please contact your state's Real Estate Commission to verify if your out-of-state online course will be accepted.

Can I stop and start my course or do I have to complete it all at once?
The course will time stamp where you leave off, so that you can stop and start the course at any time.

How do I log in to my course?
For Cengage courses, go to www.mycoursepage.com and enter the required information. For RECampus courses, go to www.recampus.com and click on "Log in" at the top right.

Which states require an affidavit? How do I obtain one?
Maryland, Virginia, New Hampshire and New York require signed affidavits. Virginia requires that you sign your affidavit in the presence of a notary public. For Cengage courses only, there are electronic affidavits, which you will initial upon completing your course. For RECampus courses, you will receive a completion email from RECampus containing a link to a printable affidavit. You can also download the following affidavits in Word format: Maryland and Virginia.
