Choosing the best course format can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. At MaxClass, we offer three engaging options to fit every learning style: online self-study courses, live webinars, and in-person classroom sessions. There’s no wrong choice—just the right one for you.
What’s the difference between online self-study, live webinar, and live classroom courses?
- Online Self-Study: Learn anytime, anywhere, at your own pace. Perfect if you want maximum flexibility and prefer studying solo.
- Live Webinar: Join a real-time class led by an instructor, but log in from the comfort of home. Great for learners who want interaction without travel.
- Live Classroom: Attend an in-person course with peers and an instructor. Ideal if you thrive in a structured, high-energy environment.
How do I know if online self-study is right for me?
Choose online self-study if you:
- Like to learn on your own schedule.
- Prefer flexibility—study in the morning, at night, or on weekends.
- Want to move quickly through material (or take your time to review).
It’s the most convenient way to complete your NMLS CE when life gets busy.
Who should choose a live webinar?
A live webinar is perfect if you:
- Want to ask questions in real time.
- Learn better with an instructor guiding the session.
- Enjoy the accountability of scheduled class times, but don’t want to leave your couch.
Think of it as the best of both worlds—interactive like a classroom, but as cozy as online learning.
Why would I attend a live classroom course?
Pick a live classroom if you:
- Love the energy of a group learning environment.
- Want to network with other mortgage professionals.
- Learn best in person with fewer distractions.
For many, the face-to-face format makes CE feel less like a requirement and more like a motivating, shared experience.
Which course format is easiest to complete?
That depends on your learning style. Self-study gives you full control, webinars provide live interaction with flexibility, and classroom sessions offer structure and networking. Every format meets the same NMLS requirements—so you’ll get credit no matter which you choose.
How do I decide which format is best for me?
Ask yourself these quick questions:
- Do I need flexibility? → Online Self-Study.
- Do I want live interaction without travel? → Live Webinar.
- Do I learn best with peers and in-person energy? → Live Classroom.
Bottom Line
There’s no wrong answer. Every option gives you the engaging, 5-star MaxClass experience—just delivered in the way that works best for you. Whether you’re a night owl, a social learner, or someone who thrives on structure, we’ve got a course format that will help you succeed.
