What to Expect in Classes?

At Providence Real Estate Education, we’re doing things differently…

A New Kind of CE Experience

At Providence Real Estate Education, we’re doing things differently.

Our classes are centered around you—the student—and designed to go far beyond the typical continuing education experience. But here’s the thing: for this model to work, you have to be invested. We’re not just handing you information. We’re inviting you into an engaging, interactive learning process that’s designed to stick.

You’ll explore real-life case studies, share best practices from your own business, and gain practical tools to help you reduce risk in your day-to-day work. While we meet all the compliance standards set by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission, our goal is to make continuing education truly valuable—something you can apply immediately in your career.

Hands-On Learning, Not Just Lectures

Our classes are built around active learning.

Expect to:

  • Participate in small group activities

  • Engage in full-class discussions

  • Role-play real scenarios

  • Work through case studies based on current, real-world issues

This approach keeps things fresh and relevant—and helps you retain what you learn.

We use experiential education as a core part of our method because we believe that the best learning happens when you’re involved, not just watching from the sidelines. That’s what adult education is all about.

You’re in Control of Your Experience

Yes, our instructors are experienced experts—but you and your peers are just as important to the learning process.

We believe that learning from each other is one of the most powerful tools in any classroom. You’ll be encouraged to share your insights, ask questions, and challenge ideas. While instructors guide the conversation and make sure we cover all required content, it’s your voice and your engagement that make the class come alive.

At Providence, you won’t just sit through another CE class—you’ll get involved, stay engaged, and walk away with knowledge you’ll actually use.

Why Providence Real Estate Education?

Education has always been at the center of my life. From my earliest school days to earning a Master of Education degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, learning has shaped who I am

A Lifelong Educator

Education has always been at the center of my life. From my earliest school days to earning a Master of Education degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, learning has shaped who I am.

After graduate school, I spent several years working in Higher Education, focusing on New Student Orientation and Leadership Development. I loved helping students grow, connect, and find meaning in their educational journeys.

From Campus to Closing Tables

In 2015, I transitioned out of Higher Ed and into real estate. But even as I dove into this new world, my passion for teaching never left me.

As I completed my required Continuing Education (CE) through various providers, something stood out—most courses felt transactional. They lacked connection, personality, and real-world relevance. There were few stories, little relationship-building, and almost no sense of community.

I knew it could be better.

Bringing Education Back to CE

That realization inspired me to earn my Educator License through the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and launch Providence Real Estate Education.

Our mission is to transform CE from a box to check into a meaningful, engaging experience that real estate professionals actually look forward to.

We believe that real estate education should:

  • Spark discussion

  • Share real-world stories

  • Build connections between agents and instructors

  • Be fun, informative, and hands-on

We use adult learning principles to create experiences that stick—helping you grow your business and reduce risk while connecting with your peers.

Why In-Person Matters

Before COVID, CE was often taught in person—and that made a difference. Agents engaged in rich discussions, participated in experiential learning, and actually retained what they learned.

At Providence, we’re bringing that back. We’re committed to in-person CE courses that prioritize interaction, community, and expert-led instruction. Because when you connect, you learn more—and that’s what real estate education should be about.

Our Promise to You

Providence Real Estate Education is committed to delivering the highest quality CE experience in North Carolina. We meet the standards of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission—and go beyond them to ensure that you leave every course with real insight and value.

We believe real estate agents deserve more from CE. More connection. More meaning. More growth.
