Why we started
We started Excel around a fairly simple observation. Plenty of schools are good at getting people through the exam, and far fewer stick around for what happens after.

What happens after the exam
A new agent with a license, no pipeline, and no real idea what the first ninety days are supposed to look like.
Both halves of it
We wanted to be the school that answers the second half of that question as well as the first. Our goal is to work alongside you until you have mastered the subjects that we teach.
Coursework first. Confidence next.
Some students want a classroom and an instructor they can interrupt. Others are fitting coursework in at 5:30 in the morning before a shift. Both are fully supported.
LEARN ON YOUR SCHEDULE
Every course we offer is available online or in-person.
Live Virtual Classroom
An instructor you can interrupt, and classmates working through exactly the same material at the same time as you.
Self-Paced On Demand
Coursework that fits at 5:30 in the morning before a shift, or whenever the day finally goes quiet.
Practice resources
We know that the material does not always connect the dots, especially when you take the course self-paced. We have practice material specifically designed for the test.
Instructor guidance
An active Louisiana broker teaches every class, so the questions you bring get answered from experience rather than a manual.
ABOUT EXCEL FAQ
Common questions people ask about us.
Short answers about the school itself. Details about any individual course live on that course's own page.
Is Excel approved by the state of Louisiana?
Yes. Excel is a Licensed Real Estate School with the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, school #9150, and an approved continuing education provider, LCE 0242.
Do I need to be near Lafayette?
No. Students from Shreveport, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lake Charles and throughout Louisiana take exactly the same courses as the student a few blocks away.
Is the online path only for people who already know real estate?
No. The online path can work well for beginners when they are comfortable managing their schedule. If you want more accountability or explanation, choose an option with added instructor support.
What formats do you teach in?
Every course is available online. You can take it in the live virtual classroom or entirely self-paced, and you are not locked into the choice you made on day one.
Do your NAR courses work outside Louisiana?
Yes. The designations and certifications are recognized in all 50 states.
Who actually teaches the classes?
An active Louisiana broker, not a script reader. That is the one thing we do not compromise on, because live format only matters if the instructor can answer what you bring.
