News Release - June 2008
30 Years of Excellent Service!
Superior Schools, Inc. / Pro-Studies announces their 30th year as a professional career school in Bend, Oregon. Started in 1978 Superior Schools has enrolled and tutored over 22,000 students throughout Oregon and the world. With a current enrollment of 1,200 students, they offer careers in Real Estate, Insurace, Securities, Construction / Contractor, Hospitality, and many more.
By utilizing a distance-learning format, Superior Schools allows most students to study in almost any location on their own schedule. Many courses are offered in a variety of forms including textbook, computer based and online material.
Recently they have begun to offer accelerated classroom instruction designed to allow a student to achieve their career goal in the shortest amount of time.
Superior Schools was founded by one of America's leading specialists in real estate and insurance training, Charles C Brown PhD and his wife Sally. The former Director of Education for the Oregon State Real Estate Division, Dr. Brown located his Central Oregon Center for Professional Studies on Anderson Road, in Bend. In time, the company name was shortened to Center for Professional Studeis and the center eventually relocated to their present location at 61419 South Highway 97, Suite C.
The name became shortened to Pro-Studies in 2001. Upon the companies change of ownership in 2006 the name was changed to Superior Schools to eliminate confusion with the name of a previous supplier. The new owners, Mike and Linda Forbes, have a combined record of over 37 years in Real Estate, Insurance, Securities and Professional Sales.
Linda has been the Principal Broker and Real Estate School Director for over 12 years with a leading real estate firm in Oregon. Mike has just retired from 25 years as a successful Securities broker and financial planner. Between them, they have published 9 real estate textbooks approved for pre-license training by the Oregon Real Estate Agency and the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials.
Since its inception, Superior Schools has been a leader in the career school field. Dr. Brown held seminars in other communities, analyzing students test results and tutoring them to improve their exam scores. His school's pass rate for the first twenty months was 100% of all students passing their state real estate exam. This record led to the innovation in becoming the first school in the state to guarantee that students taking the course would pass their state exams. Since that time, less than one student a year has failed taking the test the first time!
Now, with the advent of accelerated live instruction classes, Superior Schools is again a leader in helping students obtain their career of their choice in an expedient and efficient manner. This strong history of quality guidance and innovative education ensures that Superior Schools will continue to be the premier career school of choice for another 30 years in Oregon. |
