Important aspects of picking a notary training program

• Make sure the exam is specific to your State. Every State has various nuances to its notary laws. Certainly, it is imperative that your training provide a course designed specifically for your State.
• Further, regardless of the State you live in, we recommend that you take your exam on a date that is relatively close to the date you complete the course. This is because all that knowledge you gained will be fresh in your mind.
• You need to decide if you prefer a live classroom course, or an online course. Each has its benefits and drawbacks. In a classroom course, you can have live interaction with the instructor. The drawback is, these courses are completed in a day or two, meaning that you have to cram information in a shorter period. An online class gives you the flexibility of convenience in that you take bits and pieces of the course over time. This allows better retention of information. The drawback is that when not in a live environment, the luxury of interaction becomes lost.

Basically, in either type of class, you want to be sure you are provided a workbook, or class manual. This way, you can easily refer back to it to refresh previous topics you learned.
