What is the Difference Between a Certificate and a Course?
Depending on your preference for Utah Continuing Education, you have an option of the certificate, which consists of 18 hours of continuing education credit or completing individual courses. To complete courses individually in Utah and Nevada, simply click "available courses" on your ARTI Academics dashboard. We are continually adding additional CE classes to ARTI Academics- stay tuned!
ARTI® Academics Course
This is an individual class inside the school. Each course is a collection of various different activities. An activity can be a quiz, a slide (similar to powerpoint), or video content. Upon completion of a course, you will be provided with a course completion document, certifying that you have finished it.
ARTI® Academics Certificate
A collection of classes is a certificate. Upon completing the certificate you will receive a congratulations message with the certificate attached. You can also go to your student profile inside the school and view any completed certificates or courses at any time.
How do the Videos, Quizzes, Timers, and Slides work?
Each certificate, such as Real Estate Pre-Licensing or even a Continuing Education module consist of Courses and each course consists of various activities. An activity can be a video, quiz, or slide, with the majority being video produced. Videos can range anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes.
Q) Can I skip or fast forward a video?
A) No. All content, including video, is designed for you to watch at the speed and pace it was created and to comply with Utah Real Estate Licensing requirements. You are able to pause the video to review the topic in further or take notes. This is to ensure that you are receiving all of the information needed to be successful in Real Estate. After watching an activity in ARTI Academics, you can go to previously completed activities and review.
Q) Are slides timed and can I fast forward and pause?
A) Yes each slide in ARTI Academics is timed. You cannot fast forward through a slide (unless you've already watched it), but you can pause a slide by clicking anywhere on the slide if you need some additional time to study the topic, or take notes.
Q) Where do I find the study guides and practice quizzes for CE and Pre-Licensing?
A) All study guides and quizzes are in the course documents section, where you can download each document. You can find "Course Documents" below the activity viewer in the lower right of your screen. You will also find additional supplementary information, such as contracts and exhibits there. If you're looking for all of the Utah real estate license study guides and practice tests combined into a single document, you can order it for free and download it here.
Q) Who do I contact if I have a problem with my courses?
A) You found a bug!? We try our best every day to make sure your education experience is as smooth as possible, but if you happen to run into a glitch, please click "report an issue" in the very bottom right of your screen so we can get it squashed! Please provide any information that you can that would be relevant for the developers.
Q) The time has not updated for the course when I finished, why is that?
A) Have no fear, when looking at the certificate review screen (the place you can resume your class), the time and hours will only update when you have completed a course!
How long do I have to complete the Utah Real Estate School Pre-Licensing?
While Utah's Division of Real Estate requirement is 1 year, we allow just 6 months. This is more than enough time for any student to complete the material and pass the test. We want you to be successful passing the exam and if you took the 'Estates' course 10 months ago, for example, the likelihood of you being extremely well versed will decrease. We pride ourselves on being high quality education and want you to have the best real estate educational experience. If for some reason, you feel that 6 months is not enough time for you to complete the course, please reach out to us!
