2004 Education Habits and Topics Survey Highlights



9,747 REALTORS® were contacted in June, 2004 by NAR's Education Services Area to get members' opinions of online education, classroom courses and course topics members would like to see in the future. Of the nearly 10,000 members contacted 1,357 members responded - resulting in a response rate of 14%, double our average response rate of 7%!

Not surprising, a majority of respondents indicated they like online education because it fits into their schedules and they save travel expenses by taking courses on their home or office computers.

The results indicate that 45% of respondents have taken an online course in the past 12 months. Of those that have taken an online course:
- 57% took online courses to help them be more successful in their business
- 51% took online courses to earn a designation or to gain personal knowledge
