Barney Fletcher Schools

My experience was about as good as you can get. My teacher was terrific. The material provided by Barney Fletcher was exactly what I needed to help me pass the tests.
I passed the school and state tests on my first try.
I’ll be taking the post license courses at Barney Fletcher as well.

Had a fantastic learning experience with Barney Fletcher! I took the 2 week accelerated Real Estate Course in May at the Devry Campus in Duluth — easy to get to & clean. The instructor was fantastic — I am not a morning person & he always had stories to keep me awake & visual diagrams to keep me going… I don’t test nor study well & I passed the Final & the Boards!!! I recommend this school & instructor Carl Seale.

Was unsure about paying for this course as there are cheaper approved companies in Georgia, but I went with the course anyway because it’s what my sponsoring broker used 15 years ago and she told me to use this one. That being said, I purchased the basic package that included no book, cram session, or anything extra. I figured it would be better than the class because I can control the pace and I am an avid reader. I passed the school final exam the first time around.
I took the state exam and failed by 4 points. Since the exam is fresh in my mind I can honestly say that the content they give you to read does not cover everything in the exam and it is not enough to pass. (Ex: does not not go into detail about all discrimination hypothetical situations or legally competent parties) while they will give a basic overview, relying on the course text alone is not enough. It us better to go study from the actual government websites illustrating national laws than to learn solely from BF material.
One good thing is that they allow you to have a Procter and stay home if you choose not to go to their location for the final exam.

Besides the antiquated layout and structure of the online salesperson pre license course, the material does not prepare your for the exam. I would recommend to anyone looking for pre license education to evaluate other companies.

Just purchased online version of post-​license course and logged in. Very disappointed. This is basically an online textbook that you read on your computer screen and take little quizzes at the end of each section. There are no videos or anything that makes it more interesting. I bought the textbook as well and once I viewed the online class and the sample textbook (I haven’t received the actual textbook) they appear to be the exact same. So, don’t buy the book cause it is the same as the class (unless you are like me and get a headache from reading too much on a backlit screen).

I recently took the Pre-​License Real Estate Class in Alpharetta and it was awesome! The instructor was informative, uplifting, insightful and very knowledgeable. My experience with customer service was also the best I could hope for. After being in class and dropping by the office, I feel like part of the Fam. Barney Fletcher Schools was recommended to me by my Broker. I passed my course final on the 1^st try with a 91 and my State exam the next week. I cannot say enough good things about BF School! I feel prepared and ready to Launch my new career in RE!

Update 10 18 2013 Kimberly K. It must have been a LOT different several years ago. I am also referring to the class room instruction not the online instruction.
We had a class of 19 students of which only 4 passed the class and only 1 of those passed the state exam.
If the instructor wasn’t busy eating his food during class and getting grease on the students note books that shared the same table with him, instead of providing solid instruction… maybe the Alpharetta class would have a better pass rate.
There is a reason Barney Fletcher does not share its pass rates.
