How REEsults Coaching Transformed Pre-Licensing Education
REEsults Coaching School of Real Estate, Nebraska’s leading independent real estate school, faced a critical challenge: delivering online pre-licensing education while meeting the strict requirements of the Nebraska Real Estate Commission and Department of Education. Their legacy tools, Camtasia, Knomia, Adobe Presenter/Captivate and manual grading systems, were no longer scalable and put compliance at risk.
To stay competitive and continue growing market share, REEsults Coaching needed a modern learning management system (LMS) that could automate compliance tracking, simplify course updates, and deliver an exceptional student experience.
“With DigitalChalk, we’ve gained speed, control and credibility. It’s helped us deliver a professional, modern experience that sets us apart from every other school in the state.”
