Similar Programs at Other Colleges in Service Area:
El Camino College
El Camino College offers a certificate of achievement in real estate appraisal. Students are required to take coursework in real estate principles, and real estate appraisal. It is important to note that El Camino College’s certificate of achievement does not meet the required 150 hours necessary to obtain a BREA Trainee‘s license even though their catalog indicates otherwise. This certificate also does not meet the required 30-credit course for the California State BREA Certified Residential License (AR) exam. Our AS degree does not negatively impact this certificate.
Mt. San Antonio College, Glendale College, and Saddleback College, Citrus College, Rio Hondo, Victor Valley
Mt. San Antonio College, Glendale, Saddleback College, Citrus College, Rio Hondo, and Victor Valley, all offer real estate appraiser certificates of achievement or degrees. However, the colleges are too far outside of our service for our AS degree to negatively impact them.
