Mike Russ Financial Training Centers

I used them years ago to get my first Life License. The classes were fun and informative. I met some good people in my class, and passed the test on the first try. I’m now recommending the school for my agents who are getting their license.

Highly recommend for real estate (salesperson) exam. Took the weekend course, took test Tuesday and passed. Well worth giving up 1 weekend.

I failed, don’t do online unless your good at learning online. The cram course I took for 2 days didn’t cover most of my state exam. The words used for the state exam were very different from my class and online course. So glad I didn’t quit my job maybe I’m stupid but it was not easy and I followed instructions given me. Very disappointed I spent my little bit of money for nothing.

AWESOME! Took my 52 hour life, health, accident course here. Had Pat as an instructor and Dana for the cram session. After the first couple days I felt totally lost but Pat assured us it would come together and it did! You only learn what’s needed for the test. The cram session really tied everything together and imprinted it in memory along with giving you good tips for test taking. I took my practice exams in the book once and reread highlighted material the day before exam. I scored an 80% on my test and completed the exam in just over an hour! This course is well worth it!

I took the crash course, In upland a month ago.
I been told not to take anything because I will get all material right there, wasn’t thrue they said that I have to buy my own staff, which I did but… the course was good, but outdated, probably just 10% of the questions were on the test of course I fail, I called Mike Russ to complain, they set me up for a second chance at Anaheim, when I got there there were no space, it was full then… Why I will continue if the corse is outdated?
Finally I found a place were they care about you, they take you one by one and make sure you are learning and ready to pass yoir test, not just for your money as Mike Russ does. They know that many people know them, they’re famous have money and lot of people follow them… but I’m sure that people who feel like me don’t complaint then people don’t know that mike Russ just like your money, not if you will pass or not your test.

I just passed my P&C exam so I felt like leaving a review. I took the 52 hr class + crash course on site with Pat as my main instructor and Dana for the weekend courses. Overall they are both amazing teachers, better than some of my college professors. Going into the course,

GUARANTEE PASS!
I took my 52 hour health, accident, and health class online through a different school. I didnt pass the test so decided to take the 2 day prep class and it helped a lot! I wish I took my 52 hours in person through them. The class was enjoyable and appreciated the test tips. Took the test. and yup passed! Highly recommend

I have used Mike Russ for all of my educational needs for insurance purposes. I would only recommend Mike Russ. Let’s face it, learning sometimes can be so boring and is usually dreaded by most. Well, Mike Russ keeps it exciting along with being useful and helpful the entire time that you are there.
I highly recommend taking the classes, and then coming back for crash courses right before the exams so that you get the extra help to be able to pass the exams you are taking.

52hr Property & Casualty Course completed here at Mike Russ. I fed recommend attending the class live, they go over sooooo much in the little time period you get but its definitely worth attending. The instructors are great at explaining every in detail and going over the «need to know» info vs reading every little thing. If I ever need to get another license I will def return! Good luck to everyone!

mike russ was my valentine!
life-​only agent exam + mr. mike russ himself teaching our crash course on saturday & sunday (valentine’s day weekend) = pass!
i was in and out of the test in 30 minutes and got an 81%!
mike presents the material a certain way: real life circumstances & white board drawings so that you understand and then he uses repetition so that you can memorize the material/​content.
there are frequent breaks and you may doubt that the material or class is enough, just believe that they know what they’re doing with 20+ years of experience their only goal is get you that passing score.
i’m really grateful for him & his business since work related tests can be a bummer and defeating when you fail.
i did the pre-​licensing education online via mike russ as well and the layout was simple and straight forward.
thanks again mike!

I just attended Mike Russ’s Real Estate Crash Course in Anaheim, CA. I really was honored to have Ms. Garcia as my Instructor. Ms. Garcia has a lot of Knowledge and she is a great teacher. She has a lot of energy and made The Course enjoyable.
Ms. Garcia prepared and organized her class on possible questions that would be asked on The Exam. I give Ms. Garcia 10 plus and Mike Russ 10 plus too.

Took the course in September because it was required prior to taking my test. Ok, it was boring but what about insurance is exciting? Our instructor acted like he would rather be anywhere but there but got the job done. One of the company owners came into our class to PITCH additional stuff to is. Ok whatever. But this guy was FULL of himself, and condescending to his students, to the point of insulting some. UM, aren’t we PAYING to take this class? Show a little respect. Especially since you were speaking in my case, to. CEO of a company that «might» send you additional business… perhaps not. Finished the exam in an hour, and passed so I guess the instructor did his job. Company co-​owner, LOST all my respect.

Great Class. Mike gives you the information you need to pass the exam, more importantly he teaches you the most effective method to go about taking the test so that you have the best chances of passing. I highly recommend this class

Yo… this class is legit! I dont even write Unilocal reviews but for these guys I definitely will. Pat is a fuckin OG!!! Mike Russ himself will prep you like noone has ever prepped you for a test.
Pat is just cool and funny… kinda guy you’d wana have a beer with or smoke a joint with. The week long class goes by fast because Pat is just like chillin with one of the homies. He is that homie though that knows everything about insurance and also how to burn in your brain the concepts. Its true it is by cheetahs and the bullpen, a beer at lunch isnt even gonna hurt you at all. I had one 3 times that week and still passed the test the 1^st time.
THE CRAM COURSES!!! Now thats where you actually learn how to take a test right. They were so valuable and Mike really knows how to help you memorize everything you need to know for the test. These guys are the real deal!!! Do yourself a favor and go to Mike Russ!!!

Awesome!

Took the class for my PnC license and the two day cram course. Pat made the 5 days of ass very bearable with his dry sense of humor. Mike taught the cram course and I passed my exam the first time. These guys teach you how to pass the test. Listen to them and do what they say and you’ll be fine.

I’ve used Mike Russ for 3 different state licenses. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

I took the RE courses and they were easy. However, the crash courses are not very understandable and confusing. I went through another school for crash courses, and they were much easier to apply. Not a place for crash courses.

Incredible, I took my life accident and health exam in February and missed it by one question, things came up and I decided to take it again in May. Sat in on a crash course months later, AMAZING, passed my test 3 days later without any studying.
Mike Russ is fantastic and I would recommend it for EVERYONE!
BIG TIP: If you need a company to work for, contact 619 405 1083.
They can help you out, no cold calling door knocking… etc

When I was told I had to go to 52 hours of insurance school to get my license, I was dreading it! I’m not gonna lie, it wasn’t a party, but it was as painless as a week of insurance school could be. Pat & Dana were my instructors. They were interesting, engaging, and their teaching method really made the material stick. They appreciated that they weren’t teaching very exciting material and gave us a 10 minute break every 45 minutes or so.
You’ll learn what you need to know to pass the test and it works. Passed my state exam with flying colors. 92%. Single shot! Yeah buddy!
If you’re intent is to pass the state exams, Mike Russ Financial Training Center is for you!
