I was asked if a pre-license online class is better or a classroom (agents)

[EricB515]

( I think) it depends on the individual...some people do better in a classroom setting with a teacher that can guide them and answer questions right then and there. I also know people that have done very well by taking an online class and passed the first time around. It just depends on the individual.

If you are a complete newbie, do the classroom thing. There can be a lot of non-book education there (war stories), questions answered, etc that makes it very valuable.

[oh come on!]

There are plenty of books you can read later about "war stories", or you can learn by talking to veteran agents you meet.

For pre-license, online is enough. The exam is easy, and the bar is set pretty low. All you need to do is pass.
I did the online route. I wouldn't waste time in classroom for pre-license.
