    Anonymous review on 7/11/2020
    They did a really good job with teaching! The only thing was due to it being online some people had to call in and one woman really slowed down class constantly. Maybe try a different class format in the future or a different way so people have to physically be online and not just call in.

  • Become a Notary in One Day

    Anonymous review on 4/4/2016
    While the teacher was friendly and approachable - the class consisted of reading each page out of the manual that was given the morning of the class. There was very little time for review of any highlighted or noted facts/figures. I felt completely unprepared going into the test. I feel that in the future the materials should be given to the students prior to the class, so they can spend class time going over what they couldn't understand.

    Anonymous review on 4/3/2016
    i think going to class to have the instructor just read word for word through an 80 page manual/book is not really helpful. i did not feel prepared for the test and believe if i could have just had 2-3 hours on my own to go over the book myself and then maybe an hour or two with the instructor to go over any questions, etc then i would have felt more accomplished than sitting in a classroom listening to an instructor read to me.

    Considering that it's an all day seminar it did get a tad bit tiresome. But the instructor was amazing, she was patient, charismatic, just a delight and VERY knowledgeable, oh, and funny I wasn't expecting funny. It was informative and interesting.

What if you fail the test?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Heidy! The students can take the exam as many times as they'd like, but only one exam per calendar month is allowed. For example, if they fail in May, they have to wait until June to retake. Hope this helps.

Question from Tara F.
Hello, do we earn certifications when we’re done with the class?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi, Tara. No, the notary class is to prepare the students to take the exam to become a notary. When the student finishes the course, they are taking the exam right there, and when they pass the exam, they are qualified to become a notary, and that itself sort of implies that one has completed the course. Hope this helps!
