Joel Ward Seminars is a licensed branch office of the Illinois Association of REALTORS Licensing and Training center for pre-licensing education. Currently, the State of Illinois is in a transition period during which all licensed salespeople will be required to become licensed brokers prior to April 20, 2012. To facilitate this process, we are offering the Transition Proficiency Exam Preparation Course as well as the Proficiency Exam itself. Please refer to the course offering description and schedule of future courses and exams.

At this time, we are unable to offer the new pre-licensing course for people interested in entering the business as real estate brokers because this course has not yet been developed.

Remember: You have several choices in real estate education, including other branch locations for the IAR Licensing and Training Center courses. However, it is our goal to offer each student a superior educational experience as a result of clear, articulate and experience instruction in a modern facility. To achieve this goal, our courses are all taught from digitally projected PowerPoint presentations instead of using blackboards or overhead projectors. And while many other courses will refer the student to interesting and valuable websites, we are able to visit these websites together as a class as the information is projected on our 6' x 8' screen.
