Best Features
Concise Content
The course work is pithy and does not insult your intelligence. The content is applicable and worthwhile. It does not bludgeon you to death with the basics but instead presents challenging questions and issues facing real estate agents.
The CE Shop also uses its content with in person real estate schools.
Easy to Use
Getting set up and beginning the course is very simple.
The course presents exactly what you need for your license or license renewal. When complete, it automatically reports your results to your state real estate commission.
The modules themselves are easy to work through.
Biggest Pitfalls
Generalized Curriculum
My Legal Updates course was, of course, very much specific to my State of Texas.
Some of the other courses, however, were general, like the course on document best practices. There are some things there I had never heard of, as they apply to other states! But that was a small portion and most of it had takeaways.
This is likely going to be similar with other schools.
Smaller Catalog
Obviously all the core license and continuing education courses are present.
And there is a decent selection of additional courses, but not as diverse a catalog as some competitors.
The CE Shop Pricing*
- $446.25 for Courses Only Package
- $521.25 for Standard Package
- $596.25 for Value Package
- $888.75 for Premium Package
The entry level price is the Courses Only package that does not include the exam prep materials but just the basic credits necessary for your license. It starts at $446.25.
The Standard includes exam prep and the “Pass or Don’t Pay” guarantee offered at $521.25.
The Value Package includes “Business Building” for $596.25 courses in addition to the basic licensing requirements.
Finally, the Premium Package includes your required first two-year SAE courses as well for $888.75.
These are advertised as temporary prices but are pretty consistently offered at these discounts.

My Personal Recommendation
I used The CE Shop for my CE course to renew my license.
I liked the content. I normally try to race through this stuff as it’s telling me stuff I already know. But The CE Shop got to the point and focused on difficult nuances of real estate, law, and ethics. I had to pay attention before answering questions (though, that said, I finished the courses quite a bit faster than the “recommended” completion time without issues).
They even managed some humorous moments.
Regarding support, at one point, there was a confusing question that I thought had a technical problem. I reached out in the chat and quickly got a response and was able to move forward.
The delivery platform seemed very concerned that I wasn’t who I said I was. It frequently required me to confirm my identity with my phone number or email, and sometimes even logged me out altogether. But that was at most a minor nuisance.
On the whole, I got what I needed done and picked up some things I didn’t know about Texas legal changes.
