Dear Ms. Harris,
I sincerely appreciate your email regarding the completion of my Pre-Licensing Course for TIPIC. I am truly grateful for the exceptional learning experience provided by Trusted Agent Services Group.
I also completed the Notary Commission Course in February 2024, and I must say that both courses were conducted with remarkable excellence. With over 40 years of experience as a practicing lawyer, I have dealt with various legal matters, but the depth of knowledge and clarity with which these courses were delivered significantly enhanced my understanding.
The interactive sessions, engaging presentations, and well-structured homework exercises were invaluable in reinforcing key concepts. I particularly appreciated your emphasis on understanding the core concepts, which was evident throughout the training. This approach made the learning experience both insightful and practical.
I look forward to continuing my learning journey with Trusted Agent Services Group as I embark on this new path as a Notary Public and TIPIC in Maryland. Your guidance and expertise have been incredibly beneficial, and I hope to stay connected for further learning opportunities.
Thank you once again for your dedication and commitment to excellence in training.
Best regards,
Muhammad Masud Akhtar
Notary Public, Maryland

No, it wasn't on the first try either due to my obligations with a demanding job, graduate school, and the recent loss of my beloved only child and son. However, I was determined and persistently studied, created a schedule for studying right after work where I stayed 2 hours after for a month and a half. I read the questions and made a study booklet and I reviewed the concepts and quizzes that you created. Thank you for being an amazing teacher and I look forward to working very soon as a licensed TIPIC! Interesting June/July 2024 passed the exam experiences. Click here.

I completed your TIPIC Pre-Licensing course in November of last year and today I passed the Maryland exam. I sat for the test remotely, in my home office and completed the proctored test in about an hour. I flagged about 15 or so questions on my initial attempt of all 110 questions. My exam was heavily focused on the powers of the Maryland Insurance Administration, Maryland Insurance Commissioner and RESPA. While I am a licensed and practicing real estate agent in MD (DC & VA), I'm not sure it really offered me much of an advantage on this particular exam. LOL! Your advice to study and know all the material was paramount! I passed with an 88%. Next steps for me are obtaining my license, taking your upcoming Loan Closing A-Z for TIPICs class and offering a new service in my real estate business. Thank you for being a great resource in the industry!

This was my first time taking the exam. I was extremely excited. In the interim of preparing to take the exam, I continued to study after the course was completed. I would like to share a few study tips that I used, that may help other students when preparing for the examination.1. I read the entire book that was provided by Ms. Elaine twice.2. The first time, I read it to myself.3. The second time I recorded myself reading so I could go back and listen to what I read, which helped me break down the information that was provided in the text.4. I also printed out the guides provided in the Quizlet links which broke the information down in layman's terms and studied them vigorously.5. did mock testing, which tested my knowledge and I also familiarized myself with the policy portions of the text.I know everyone has a different way of learning and processing information, but this is what I did to pass the examination and was able to pass it the first time.

This year I started thinking about how I could make more money, I have been a Maryland notary since 2003. I never really did much with it; I notarized documents here and there. Then, both of my sisters became Notary Signing Agents in Washington, DC!I found out later that because I reside in Maryland, I had to take this "special class pre-licensing class" that I could not find any information about. So, long story short, I went to get something notarized and the notary's card said "Notary Signing Agent". I asked about the process, and he gave me another company’s information and I signed up immediately, paid a lot of money for the course, and I thought it would be perfect as it was self-paced. Boy, was I wrong! I could not even focus on what the instructor was saying as it seemed to be all over the place; I couldn’t retain the information.
While I was working towards the TIPIC goal, I became aware that the Secretary of State Office required me to take a course to renew my commission. I signed up for that course as well as a few more courses as I became aware that it was now a lot more to being a Notary than I thought. So, I took the courses through Prince George's Community College, and you and Mr. Harris were the instructors. I was learning so much and was able to focus and grasp the information, so I took the loss of the other TIPIC course to take your TIPIC course.I would have to say that your style and method of teaching are unmatched!
I am very excited to restart this journey to becoming a TIPIC under your leadership! While looking over the information and the way it is presented as well as all the additional study aides (the handbook, websites and YouTube videos you reference, as well as the option to join study groups, and especially the fact that you also offer Quizlet sets for information re-enforcement), I am now excited again about finally becoming a TIPIC and attending more of your courses. I also look forward to the 2023 Maryland Notary Public Day Conference in November.Thank you for all you do to help your students become successful. I can’t express enough how excited I am to be in your classrooms.

Hello Ms. Harris, I was able to pass my exam on the first go-round - Fantastic! I was so excited when I submitted my exam and the word “PASSED” appeared. But I could not have done it without your help and the help of my fellow classmates. Working with my study group really paid off. We met twice a week for 2 hours each night. We went over the Trusted Agent Services Handbook from beginning to end. We reviewed all the tests in the handbook in addition to the questions given to us on the last day of class.
Studying the Quizlet assignments also helped. **We focused on understanding the concept and not just memorizing the answer.** Going over the definitions also paid off. Knowing the meaning of the words made it easier to understand some of the questions. You must read the question and sometimes read it twice. There are a lot of questions that contain the word “expect,” so be prepared. Strike through the ones you know are incorrect to narrow down the choices then make a decision. Although you can flag a question and go back to it, don’t. Your first answer is always your best answer. Was the test easy? No, but following your instructions really paid off. You totally prepared us for the exam and the suggestion of study groups was a plus. I did not think I needed to be a part of a study group in the beginning, but it really paid off. I highly recommend it. Ms. Harris thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. And for always being there when we had questions. You are a ‘Great Teacher’.

I did a study group but realized that I needed more time to study. In June, I studied passively so when I attempted the TIPIC exam on July 1st, I received a 61%. I was proud of myself because I barely studied. I committed to more preparation in July. I read the course book two times, answered all the Quizlet questions, and did flashcards. The questions were straightforward and easy. Better yet, some of the exam questions were in the course manual. Thank you for your help.
