Instant TREC Credit Posting

Studio-Quality Video Production
Forget bad voiceovers and PowerPoint slideshows. TREA courses are filmed in a professional in-house studio with green screen and multi-monitor teleprompter setup. This is CE that doesn’t put you to sleep.
Game-Based Learning
Our flagship Commission Killer course uses a game-show format to teach contract protection. It’s interactive, competitive, and you’ll actually remember what you learned. CE shouldn’t feel like punishment.

Binge-watch your courses or pace yourself between appointments. No apps or plugins required – works on any phone, tablet, or computer. Your eyes, ears, and brain will thank you.
Free 2-Hour CE Class
Try before you buy. “Who Do You Think You Are?” is a free 2-hour personality profile class taught by DISC-certified psychologist Dr. Phillip Shero. It counts toward your elective CE hours. Claim your free class here.
Refund Guarantee + Keep Your Hours
TREA has a no-questions-asked refund policy. If you’re not satisfied, you get your money back – and you keep any CE hours you’ve already earned. No other provider does this.
