VanEd - Real Estate SchoolReviews of vaned.com

This used to be the best continuing education platform. It was easy to navigate, kept all of my records on site, helped to track the continuing education I already had and also what was needed, but they merged with another company and now it’s terrible. It’s a pain to login, it’s a pain to toggle between the screens, they got rid of the CE tracking and the whole platform is no longer user-friendly at all. I will be looking for another CE provider.

I’ve used VanEd for over 20 years, but this will be the last. I enrolled after receiving an email clearly advertising a 30% discount, with no exclusions stated. VanEd refused to honor it. After spending time on the phone and forwarding the email, I was told support’s “hands were tied.” In an industry built on transparency and public trust, this feels uncomfortably close to misleading advertising. Long‑term customers deserve better.

I needed to complete my license renewal before the end of the year. I opted for a 6 credit course. The couse itself was well done. The problem was when I was ready for the final exam. It said that I had exceeded too many credits in 24 hours, which I had not. It set a timer for when I could take the exam. 24 hours later, I returned to find the same message and a new timer set and again the next day. I reported the problem and did not get a responce until after the new year. I had to find another company and pay for additional courses to recieve the remaining credits to renew my license in time.

The new site is terrible. Removing the CE credit tracker was extremely dumb. The only reason I used van ed before was for tracking my progress. The new course style is unbearable. I will not be doing any of my further CE credits here.

Content for a 1 hr course took 2.75 hours moving quickly. Redundant points presented multiple times throughout the course. Videos took quite awhile considering a 1 hr. CE. The before & after photos were 95% from opposite angles in the rooms staged, therefore irrelevant to 'before' and 'after' representation. Survey required to be done prior to exam. Exam questions: 2-3/15 were on the Staging topic, the rest on general real estate, Market conditions, etc. Text from 2017 I believe, and use of Master bedroom/bathroom instead of the now PC 'Primary' needs to be updated. There were some good points in the course, but presentation could have been more concise and updated.

Site wouldn’t acknowledge my test after I took it, then I got a “site maintenece” page. I took a screen shot. Because of that I couldn’t get my needed hours. From now on it’s CE Shop.

Timed requirements were awful (I shouldn't have to sit there and wait for a timer if I can read faster). The course was redundant - repetitive slides. If I saw a link I wanted to add to my notes, I couldn't copy and paste anything from the slides. Very disappointed, used Vaned for many years and will not be using them again.

Took 2 classes. Both Final Exams were incorrectly graded (albeit I passed them regardless). Classes did not show as Complete when finished. Certificates were not available for download.
