3. Some schools only offer an online course. Why does Moseley offer so many different delivery method combinations?
   Student convenience and flexibility to upgrade! Moseley has developed flexible options to provide for different learning styles and changes to busy schedules.

4. How much does Moseley charge to attend multiple Broker classes?
   There is no additional cost! Moseley classroom students enjoy unlimited access, at no additional charge, to ANY of our state-wide locations until you pass your final exam! Other schools charge a fee to sit through another classroom session, and some providers even charge you the entire tuition again. Moseley values the importance of fully understanding the course content and would never impose a time limit on your learning experience!

5. May I transfer my course tuition to my spouse?
   Absolutely! In fact, you can transfer your tuition to not only your spouse, but to anyone! Other schools charge a fee to transfer your tuition to another person and some do not allow it at all. Moseley's flexibility ensures that your tuition is never wasted, should your situation change.

6. What does it cost to retake Moseley's final exam?
   There is no additional cost! The Moseley final exam can be attempted as many times as necessary until you pass. Most real estate schools charge a fee every time you retake their exam. We believe that having the flexibility to take our final exam as many times as necessary is an important element in your success with passing the VA Broker licensing exam the first time.

7. Why does Moseley only offer real estate career courses?
   To guarantee that our expertise and commitment is exclusively focused on real estate professionals and their success! Unlike many other schools that spread themselves thin with courses for multiple professions, Moseley works hard to ensure that we have the best and most accurate real estate education information.

8. How does Moseley's pass rate compare to other schools?
   Moseley's superior first-time pass rate consistently beats our competitors' first-time pass rate on the VA Broker licensing exam. Recently, Moseley's VA Broker licensing exam first-time pass rate was 100%, knocking out our competitors' average first-time pass rate of only 73%, as reported by PSI.

9. Why is Moseley's "First-Time" pass rate so important?
   Your time and your money! Moseley has designed our course content to focus exclusively on topics tested on the Virginia Broker licensing exam. Other schools re-sell a single national textbook, leaving you to sift through irrelevant information. We take our superior "first-time" pass rate seriously and use it to evaluate the success of our course material.

10. Is Moseley Real Estate Schools affiliated with Moseley-Flint schools of real estate or Moseley-Dickinson academy of real estate?
    No. Moseley Real Estate Schools is not affiliated with Moseley-Flint or Moseley-Dickinson in any way. Moseley develops all of our own course content and does not share our content or educational methods with any other real estate education provider.

11. Why does Moseley have so many more classroom locations than all other real estate schools?
    Student convenience! Moseley has successfully partnered with the best real estate firms in your area to provide convenient state-wide locations. Most other schools only have 1-3 locations in a centralized area, using leased office space or a hotel conference room. With Moseley, you can travel across the state and there's still a convenient Moseley classroom location near you!

12. When does my tuition expire?
    Moseley allows students up to five years to finish their courses. At other schools, your tuition may expire in as little as three months, forcing you to pay full tuition again for extended course time. With Moseley, your tuition remains valid for 5 years or until you pass the final exam.

13. When and where do I take my Moseley final exam?
    Whenever and wherever it's convenient for you! Only Moseley allows the flexibility to take your final exam on your schedule and at your chosen location. Other schools will schedule the final exam at the end of your last class or after a set length of time, whether you're prepared or not. Moseley understands that every student requires a unique time-frame to complete the course and would never require a student to attempt a final exam for which they do not feel prepared.

14. Am I required to spend 45 hours online or in a classroom for each Broker course?
    No! You may spend the appropriate time that you need to fully understand the course content. Moseley's Virginia Real Estate Board approved correspondence Broker courses allow you the flexibility to access the content via classroom, online, or written home study for as little or as much time as necessary. We understand the importance of comprehending the material to ensure that you pass the VA Broker licensing exam your first time!
