Pricey, but worth it. My one NBI course (so far) was about probate procedure. The course materials were/are excellent. The presenters ranged from above average to excellent. Let's talk about "average." My experience with "average" presenters is of those who do so out of the kindness of their hearts and without compensation. Often they're partners in a firm who had the slide shown and materials (often just prints of the slides) created by a junior associate and, on a good day, reviewed by the presenter perhaps an hour before the presentation, if at all. NBI presenters in my course were prepared, they'd done their own homework, knew what they were going to say (to varying degrees), and said it. If I had a criticism, there were one or two who might have done well to have done one more run-through of the presentation before the presentation itself. That said, the content of the presentations was excellent and matched by the program materials. A good seminar is one that you might have to look back at a year later to find slides and program materials that are more than enough to bring you back up to speed with the subject. The NBI course I took more than matched that.

I really enjoyed the 504/IEP presentation. Here are the downsides to NBI, it is very expensive for an educator to have to pay out of pocket. You also can't turn your camera on and interact live with the host/presenter.

This was a a good Seminar going over the basics of easements and property disputes. Having worked in the land development industry most of this was already known to me. For somebody just starting into this line of work this would be a a highly recommended course.

The subject matter of the seminars I’ve attended is always relevant and useful. The specific presenters range from excellent and lively to boring.

For the Real Estate Transactions 2022, thought the speakers were very knowledgeable and presentations generally followed what I expected. Only 2 issues - I was interested in the anticipated topics of Arbnb and VRBO but the speaker ran out of time, so better time management of other topics would have helped. Also, the purchase contract/financing topics dealt with fairly sophisticated commercial transactions, which had little relevance to me. Otherwise, topics were helpful and practical.

They listen to their customers regarding future class needs, the price is right for the small practitioner, and highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more. The only "con" is that the materials are difficult to print up with extra pages in between and costly to print up on a non-commercial printer.

Good CLE content. Wish the written information was more than just slides for all content - some CLE content is just slides or bullet point notes.

My only complaint was technical. I had some trouble managing the webinar after breaks, and sometimes there were freezes and I got knocked out of the seminar and had to log back in.

I don't really like how you have to click a box to show you are listening. As an adult professional I think that is unnecessary. The presentation though was good.

Thanks for the review, Lisa! We’re glad you enjoyed the presentation. We’re sorry to hear that you were bothered by the credit verification checkpoints, but we promise we have a good reason for them. We are required by certain accrediting agencies to provide proof of attendance throughout the program in order to award credit.
