Affiliate Disclosure

How We Earn Revenue

Pass and Earn is a free resource supported by affiliate commissions. When you click a link on our site and enroll in a course or purchase a product, we may earn a commission from the provider at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site running, fund our research, and continue publishing in-depth reviews and licensing guides.

Our Affiliate Partners

We partner with leading real estate, mortgage, home inspection, and appraisal education providers, including:

• The CE Shop — Pre-licensing, exam prep, and continuing education
• Colibri Real Estate — Pre-licensing courses and professional development
• AceableAgent — Mobile-friendly real estate education

We may also partner with additional education providers and related services in the future. Whenever we link to a product or service from which we may earn a commission, we disclose that relationship.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations or editorial content. Period. When we review a course, we evaluate it based on:

• Course quality and depth of instruction
• Pass rates and student outcomes
• Value relative to competing options
• User experience, platform quality, and support
• State availability and accreditation

If a course does not meet our standards, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the provider. Our credibility depends on honest, unbiased recommendations, and that is something we will never compromise.

Personal Evaluation

Robert Earl, the founder of Pass and Earn, personally evaluates every school and course recommended on this site. With over 25 years of experience in real estate and professional education, Robert brings firsthand knowledge of what makes a licensing course effective. You can learn more on the about page.

We do not publish "reviews" of products we have not thoroughly researched. If a course appears on this site, it has earned its place through rigorous evaluation — not because of a commission rate.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose all material connections between Pass and Earn and the companies whose products or services we review or recommend. This page serves as our comprehensive disclosure, and individual pages also contain disclosure notices where applicable.

What This Means for You

When you use our affiliate links to purchase a course or product:

• You pay the same price you would pay going directly to the provider
• You support Pass and Earn at no additional cost
• You help us continue publishing free, high-quality licensing guides and reviews

We are grateful for every reader who supports the site through our links. If you prefer not to use them, that is completely fine — you can always navigate directly to the provider's website.
