VanEd - Real Estate School Reviews 

Lack of Disclosure of Questions Missed.
It's disappointing when a question is missed yet the correct answer is not displayed. Also concerned about the time the courses take to complete as they usually take longer to complete than stated. Lots of duplicate verbiage, misspelled words. Also would be helpful during the final exam, that I could mark the questions that I'd like to go back to and recheck. This particular Water Course, had too much legalese and information that is way over-board and not useful in real estate.

Too long of am exam. Too much material covered. Took 10 hours to complete

website says , on the Compare VanEd to Other Real Estate Schoolsof Instructors · Full-time, CDEI- accredited · Available M-F, 8am-5pm via email · Q&A system available 7 days a week--Via Chat and phone calls, no instructors.

Easy to register and convenience of being able to take class online.

This class had conflicting information, and it went over the same information multiple times. It felt like 4 different instructors were giving their side of the same story, repeatedly. On screen 194, it read, "What is a short sale?" What? I was almost done with the course. There was no documents to show, that are approved by the CO Real Estate Commission and I thought I would learn about the Short Sale Addendum, the Seller Authorization form we use as well as the seller net sheet that is available in CO. One section said a short sale will protect a homeowner's credit and they would be able to buy a home again in 2 years, and another section said that it would be 5-7 years if they do a short sale, which was conflicting.

The new 360 training online platform is horrible. Definitely not student friendly. Simply the fact that you have to email them to email you your certification via a communication with Van Ed seems extremely redundant and time-consuming. The timed pages on the courses, are not even in reference to real time reading. So if I read the whole page that had a minute and 30 seconds on the timer, literally it would take 33 seconds to read the page. Leaving you to wander for about a minute. Simply said the timing on each page is unrealistic. I understand you want a four hour class, but don’t fill that four hour class with a timer as opposed to content. I will be looking for a new outlet to do continuing education as Van Ed’s transfer to 360 is Terrible. Though the typos were less, it’s an inefficient and exasperated process to complete a class. Please reconsider your connection with 360 training. Van Ed did just wonderful on their own. Again, I will be looking for someplace else to do my classes.

I needed a few credits to be complete at the end of December, 2025. I thought right away about Vaned because I don't have a video cam, and my past experience, though a long time ago, was so positive.

The good news! is that I was able to get the credits I needed. Thank you for that.

However, I feel a lot of the information was stale, especially regarding the Understanding Credit course.
Water Law was good but again I felt somewhat outdated. Short Sale class was the best of the three courses.

Thanks so much, but I will not recommend Vaned to anyone without explaining that they can get their credits, but the info might be quite outdated.

I think the courses should be reviewed critically and brought up-to-date.

Thank you and God bless - Therese Lorentz

Covered the material very well. Only disappointment was that when you clicked on the links for additional reference material, it kicked you out of the program do you had to sign yourself in again to continue.

I was kicked out of my course twice and had to start over.

Courses don't change. Lack of variety. Took a course and never got certificate...called into your customer service (not very helpful) asked them to research, was given a ticket number and no one ever called me back with resolution. Courses expire too quickly in your system.

I am not a fan anymore of Van Ed

The class provided some good insights. It would be nice if their were more subjects such as appraisals, water law in Colorado concerning irrigation water and various other subjects.

VanEd was great for some CE education, however my Certificate of Completion did not show the hours of CE that was advertised. Can you please update my Certificate so I don't have issues with DORA.
Thanks,

I had a good experience taking a course with VanEd. The flexibility was a game-changer—I could study whenever it fit into my schedule, and I loved being able to pause and pick up right where I left off. The platform made it easy to learn at my own pace without any pressure. I recommend for anyone who needs a course that works around a busy lifestyle!

I waited until the last minute to finish my continuing ed. And I think the VanEd interpretation of the 8 hours per day put out for the Real Estate Continuing Ed in Colorado was so folks wouldn't take more classes than 8 credits per day. Unfortunately because I waited until the last minute, two days in a row, I couldn't finish my classes and had to wait. If audited I get to tell the auditor that my last three credit class was actually finished in 2025 in spite of the fact that the certificate is dated 1/1/2026 @ 12:30 Central time and I live in the mountain time zone! I know that is my problem. I enjoyed all three classes. The Colorado Water Law class was really involved and I think it deserves to be a 4 hour credit class! Thanks for being available. I won't need reminders. This is my last RE continuing Ed class. At 78, I have retired.

User friendly.
Good content.

Your materials are easy to read and understand. Relevant for the quizzes.
