How Adults Learn Best—and How We Put It Into Practice

Learning Looks Different for Adults

Let’s be real: adults don’t learn the same way kids or college students do.

We bring life experience, established habits, and busy schedules into every learning environment. That’s why adult education has to be more than lectures and PowerPoints. It has to be relevant, practical, and engaging.

At Providence Real Estate Education, we design every course around how adults learn best—so you don’t just earn CE hours, you actually retain and apply what you learn.

Adults Learn Best When They…

✅ See the relevance
If something doesn’t apply to your day-to-day business, it won’t stick. We anchor every topic in real estate practice—so you know exactly why it matters.

✅ Learn by doing
Reading about it isn’t enough. Adults retain more when they engage in hands-on learning, like role-playing, small-group discussion, and real-world case studies.

✅ Build on what they already know
You’re not new to the industry. Our courses are designed to let you contribute, connect past experiences to new ideas, and leave with fresh perspectives.

✅ Solve real problems
When learners work through actual challenges—like resolving a communication issue with a client or navigating a fair housing concern—the lessons go deeper.

✅ Engage with others
One of the best ways to learn is by hearing from your peers. Our courses encourage interaction and collaboration so everyone walks away with new insights.

How We Apply It at Providence

Every Providence class is built on these principles.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Experiential Activities
  From group problem-solving to simulations and role-plays, you’ll be actively involved in your learning.

• Real-Life Case Studies
  We don’t deal in hypotheticals. We use real scenarios from the field—so the lessons are instantly applicable to your business.

• Facilitated Discussion
  We create space for agents to share, ask questions, and learn from each other. Because you all bring value to the room.

• Engaging Instructors
  Our educators are trained to teach with you, not at you. They’ll guide the experience and make sure every voice gets heard.

• Practical Takeaways
  You’ll leave with tools and strategies you can use immediately—not just notes you’ll never look at again.

At Providence, we believe education should empower, not bore. When adult learners are respected, engaged, and involved, the learning sticks—and the results show up in your business.

What to Expect in Classes?

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.
