PRNewswire – After extensive collaboration and strategic planning, Real Estate Educators has officially opened in Ohio, becoming the state’s sole non‑college provider of live‑streamed pre‑licensing real‑estate courses. Recognized as a Technical School under Ohio law, the program redefines how future agents obtain their licenses.
Founded by Todd Van Horn, the launch follows years of partnership with Kevin M. Leonard, who helped shape the school’s vision. “No other Ohio entity offers this type of live, interactive pre‑licensing education outside a university,” Van Horn, the licensed superintendent, explained. “We created a modern, accessible, and fully compliant pathway that meets students where they are, without compromising classroom quality or accountability.”
The rollout demanded rigorous preparation from the instructional team to satisfy state and distance‑learning standards. Instructors completed Certified Distance Education Instructor (CDEI) training through the International Distance Education Certification Center® (IDECC), a subsidiary of ARELLO®, ensuring excellence in live‑stream delivery. Their duties include:
* Conducting weekly live‑streamed sessions
* Tracking attendance and engagement
* Recording quizzes in the digital system
* Proctoring finals and retakes
* Adapting materials to Ohio licensing requirements
This structure delivers a seamless learning experience that mirrors an in‑person classroom while offering the flexibility of online access. Students interact with instructors in real time, combining accountability with convenience.
The inaugural session begins December 3, marking a new era for real‑estate education in Ohio.
