Course Registration Bulletin

In response to the current industry slowdown and our commitment to continue holding courses throughout the year without fear of cancellation, we have made the following adjustments.

RESPA Final Rule – CLASSROOM COURSE – Available for “On-Site” Delivery Only

For those who missed the original RESPA Final Rule Course and/or who would like to get-back-to-basics, we will continue to offer the accredited – 7 hours CE/CLE by the DFS [#68078] and the BAR [#3212-2] – as an “on-site” classroom course. Required minimum attendance for the on-site course is 12 people, or payment for 12 [$175 per person] if fewer than 12. Price includes 300 page textbook and 30 day email support post-session. Please email karenkoogler@kooglergroup.com for further information.

2010–2011 Course Venue

Unless otherwise noted, all 2010-2011 courses will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Northwest/Oldsmar. The hotel has provided us a one-year discount rate on meeting rooms and sleeping rooms, thereby enabling us to hold courses on a regular, scheduled basis, regardless of class size. A discounted sleeping room rate of $109-$119/night is available to anyone attending a Koogler Group course. Simply call the hotel, at 813-891-9990 and tell them you are with The Koogler Group to receive the discounted rate. An email link to the hotel will be provided via “Course Confirmation” once you register to attend a course.

Course Registration

All courses require prepayment, by credit card or check. If paying by check, print your order confirmation and mail it along with your check, made payable to The Koogler Group, to 8520 49th Street North, PMB 250, Pinellas Park, FL 33781.

Transfer and Cancellation Fees

We have been asked to provide the hotel 30-day advance notice as to the number of attendees and to confirm final meeting room requirements. Therefore, we ask that you register as early as possible, so as to ensure you will have a seat in the class of your choice.

Notice Received Prior to First Day of Class	Transfer Fee *	Cancellation Fee *
30 + days	25%	50%

8 to 29 days	50%	75%

7 days or less	75%	Forfeit fee

* Percentage of course fee

Requests for transfer or cancellation MUST be in writing and e-mailed to karenkoogler@kooglergroup.com.
In the event of an emergency (hurricane, etc.), which requires cancellation of the entire course, students may transfer to the next available class at no charge or may cancel their reservations at no charge.
You will receive an automated response upon purchase a final confirmation, via e-mail, two weeks prior to the course as a reminder of course date, time, and location.
When a course is full, no further registrations will be accepted. You are encouraged to register early to ensure you will have a seat in the class of your choice. We do not maintain waiting lists for fully-booked courses. If a course is full, please book the next session of your choosing.

Specific Course Information

40-Hour Licensing Course

To qualify to sit for the state exam, you must either:

Complete the 40-Hour course, OR
Have sufficient working experience (at least 1 year of responsible title duties working full time or substantially full time for a title company or title agency during the 4 years preceding date of application). In this case, you must provide a Qualification and Verification of Experience Form, signed by your employer (form available on www.fldfs.com).

Anyone wishing to take the 40-Hour Licensing Course is welcome to do so, including those who qualify to sit for the state exam based on experience. Experienced agents may wish to purchase the Florida Study Manual [on which the state exam is based] and the Florida Title Insurance CD-ROM Interactive Review [optional] for self-study purposes. You are encouraged to choose the study method best suited to your specific needs. Those attending the 40 Hour Course may purchase the Florida Study Manual in advance through our online bookstore or at the registration table (cash or check).

Due to the industry slowdown, public sessions of the One-Day Exam Prep Course are no longer available. Companies may book private on-site sessions of the One-Day Exam Prep Course at their offices, with minimum attendance of 15 people, or payment for 15 [$150 per person]. Contact karenkoogler@kooglergroup.com to book an on-site session.

Continuing Education Courses — CE and CLE accredited ONLINE Courses

To fulfill your two-year renewal requirement, licensed title agents must complete a total of 10 CE hours, of which 3 hours must be on the subject of Ethics.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Throughout 2010-2011, we will provide CE/CLE courses in an ONLINE venue, at www.KooglerGroup.com. These courses are “on demand” meaning that you may begin them immediately upon registration. We highly recommend the 8 hour CE/CLE accredited course, RESPA Final Rule April 2010 Regulatory Update. The content is current, as HUD has made no further changes since the course was released in mid-April. We will continue adding NEW online courses throughout the year.

In addition to the accredited courses, we continue to offer the non-accredited full day online RESPA Final Rule course, Building the Bridge Between the GFE and HUD-1. This course comes complete with 300 page textbook and it is recommended that you wait until you receive the textbook before beginning the online program.

On-Site Course Option

For those unable to travel to Oldsmar, we offer the On-Site Course Option, where we teach the program at your office. The tuition is the same, per-person, as our public sessions, however a minimum attendance requirement (or payment of the corresponding minimum fee) applies:

Course Type	Minimum Attendance / Fee
CE Course	15 people / $2,250

Exam Prep	15 people / $2,250

40-Hour Licensing Course	12 people / $5,400

Payment of the minimum fee is due upon booking. If the number of attendees exceeds the minimum, the balance due, based on per-person tuition rates, will be collected on or before the day of class. To book an On-Site Course, please contact karenkoogler@kooglergroup.com. Tuition includes course handouts. Those attending the Exam Prep course or 40-Hour Licensing Course may purchase Florida Study Manual online or on the day of class (cash/check only).
