About Us


Our mission is to remain committed to providing affordable, high-quality courses, instructional materials, and student services that are easy for students to access and use. We offer pre-licensing and continuing education courses for mortgage and continuing education for real estate students. We take great pride in offering practical and useful education and the latest information to new and existing Mortgage and Real Estate professionals.

For almost 15 years, we have been dedicated to adapting to the needs of the fast-paced, time-constrained real estate and mortgage professionals by committing to the ongoing development and delivery of courses. Our staff of instructors are true educators with a natural gift for sharing the wealth of information they have gathered in their experience in the Texas Mortgage and Real Estate arena.

Alliance's goal is to provide courses that prepare students for careers in the areas of real estate and mortgage lending by enabling students to pass state and national licensure exams or to satisfy the student’s personal requirements. This goal is achieved by ensuring that all courses provide clear learning outcomes, student support, detailed instructions, and assessment which lead to course mastery and student success.

In addition to our, live and online courses, we have services that no other schools provide such as our Blog Site, Market Reports, and Consulting Services.

We have helped thousands of students learn how to be successful in the mortgage and real estate industries. We hope that you choose Alliance Academy as your Texas Professional Education and Compliance Provider.
