A 3-hour, $35 (NOW, $10)  introductory seminar recorded live on Zoom, to set the table for more coursework or intensive self-study. Early on in your study (or commitment to re-study), this class frames the big picture for you and introduces such topics as notarial acts, the authentic act, donations, and community property. Study tips include navigating the huge study guide, annotating and indexing it for exam day, format of exam questions, & available resources and sites (not just ours). This class assumes you already know how to register for the exam and order the Study Guide on the SOS site: it's an introduction at a level beyond the basic process. If you're past half-way in your exam prep, you may prefer the Final Lap review class. But even weeks into a class or self-study, seeing the big picture -- including PowerPoints -- may help a lot. REGISTER to access video of this class (usable through all 2025 exams) on this page. NOTE: this overview video is lagniappe to our full-length class, so if you buy both we credit the tuition back.

A 5-hour review class held live on Zoom before the state exam to summarize -- and drive home -- your self-study or coursework. Includes such subjects as wills, community property, donations, usufructs, mandates, mortgages & property transfers -- using PowerPoint. Exam-taking includes 31 sample questions PLUS NOW INCLUDES A 37-QUESTION EXAM BASED ON JUNE 2024 FORMAT, with answer keys. Exam-day strategies and most-tested topics are highlighted. Find out what you don't know and what to focus on in your final prep. This class assumes you've already studied the official book or taken a prep course, to have maximize value -- it's not a crash course to avoid reading the study guide, rather we organize and explain the testable parts of it. Final Lap is a RECORDED CLASS from previous year, plus TWO sample exams (still applicable to all 2025 exams). REGISTER here. 

A 2.5-hour lesson (recording) held 12/22 on Zoom: What Fundamentals/the exam didn't teach you about real day-to-day notary practice -- for newer notaries, or lawyers never trained in the notary role. Topics include attesting to signatures, availability of forms, wills, client horror stories, finicky car titles, practical advice, pricing your services, stamps, loan signings, and power of attorney. Gain confidence you know how what you're doing! Taught by two notaries/lawyers with thousands of various notarial acts under their belts. [Video available through 12/27/25, with repeated access and ability to pause.] REGISTER for access here.

CAUTION: We note that another teacher recently used this webinar's title for a "how to get commission" session. To clarify: Our webinar is about practice tips AFTER being commissioned. For the commission process, see Alan's free YouTube @SchoolOfNotary.
