I attend Daniels notary class in San Diego about four months ago to get my notary commission. I enjoyed it so much that I drove 2 hours up to Anaheim to take his notary workshop to master my craft even more. Was a great class and he answered all questions by every individual asked. Also acquired a notarization stamp and a jurat stamp. Here's where he went above and beyond I recently had my car broken into and my notary journal, seal and all stamps were stolen.... He directed me on how to acquire new supplies and report my seal and journal missing. Thank you Daniel and notaryclasses.com read more

I took the online course, not the notary class. I enjoyed the pace that I was able to take to completed all my forms. The only thing I did not enjoy was the videos. Although very informative, the pace in which Mr. Daniels spoke was a bit slow. I have a year to go back and review all the information. He is a great instructor and very easy to understand. I recommend the online for anyone that has little time here and there. You can complete at your own pace. I would absolutely take my notary commission through notaryclasses.com again. read more

By far the best decision to take my notary class and exam through NotaryClasses.com. Daniel C. Jones is a great instructor with a vast amount of knowledge regarding notary work. I would also suggest taking the notary workshop that is offered. A tremendous amount of information and hands on samples to refresh your memory from the notary class. read more

I'm adding to my prior review of NotaryClasses.com. I am continually pleased with my decision to trust this company for my notary training. Since the initial training I received from them for the state notary exam, I have also taken their Loan Signing Agent course with Angela Frame, and the Practical Notary Workshop with Daniel Jones. I'm glad that I did both. Learning all the rules and guidelines in the 6-hour course is extremely important, but when all that training is done, it is helpful to be walked through the actual process. The additional class and workshop were essential to prepare me for my first of many notarial assignments and I'm glad I invested in these additional steps for my own peace of mind. Speaking of my first notarial assignment, I want to applaud Daniel's notary support. As a new notary, it's easy to miss details. I sent him an email after my first assignment, and though he was teaching that day, he called within a few hours. I was impressed by his dedication to calling me so soon. And I was also comforted that the missed details were minor and would not cause any poor reflection on my service to the client. Being a Notary Public carries a lot of responsibility and all of the training I received prepared me well for the work ahead. When I am ready to renew my license, I will return to NotaryClasses for the training. Not only for their reasonable pricing, but for their professionalism and excellent notarial preparation. If you're considering opening your own Mobile Notary business, you will not go wrong by choosing NotaryClasses.com as your go-to provider. read more

The Notary Practical Application Workshop facilitated by Daniel Jones was well worth the time and money! The instruction and content were presented in fashion that instantly gave me the confidence I need to conduct my first signings. I really enjoyed the hands-on exercises. Because Daniel is so very knowledgeable concerning notary practices, he consistently weaves lecture in with practical demonstrations of how to conduct notarial signings. I recommend NotaryClasses.com for all your notary instruction. read more

I would absolutely renew my notary commission again with Notaryclasses.com. Daniel Jones was my fabulous instructor and has also been available when I had a couple odd notary questions (requests) after the class was over. He is a valuable and caring resource. I'm very grateful to have another alternative which is much more cost effective than other renewing commission classes and his teaching style makes for passing the exam with little stress. I would recommend anyone interested in getting their notary commission for the first time or renewing, to register with them. read more

I took this class and went through all the background checks, courses, spent 6 hours at a class, bought my bond, insurance, filed my oath with the County Clerk and also got the online Loan Signing Class and I passed. I was to be "automatically " enrolled in loan signing websites..the reality is NNA doesn't accept this their documentation and I would have to retake EVERYTHING including background checks, bonds insurance, through NNA in order to have a Loan Signing Profile through NNA and get work..when I called I was told that on page 80 of my book is the Top 100 websites and I have to input my information on all 100...she sad " you didn't understand "...hahaha won't be going back and you can stop calling me with your lame excuse! Oh BTW my husband also took the same course so we are screwed x2! They actually said I can come back and take another class!! I don't need another class I need Notary Work!!!!! What a joke!!! UPDATE: I purchased the acknowledgment and the Jurat forms and the Acknowledgment was rejected by the County because it's from 2015! They should not be offering this as part of their package!! Ugh read more

NotaryClasses.com - Here is the rejection letter from the County Clerk of San Bernardino REJECTING the Acknowledgment Form i bought as part of the class! WTH! - Specialty Schools Near Me

I signed up for my first 6-hour live Notary course. After purchasing the class and the materials (for a great price) online, I had access to tons of learning material and practice tests. Fast forward three weeks- getting into class and taking care of paper work was so simple. As a first timer and knowing NOTHING about the world of notary, I was nervous. It was SOO much information, but I kept notes throughout the class and The instructor had a great way of teaching. The exam is 30 multiple choice questions and you only need a 70% to pass. I received my Congratulatory email yesterday, hooray! Thanks for a great class- I'm ready to continue with phase two with the county clerk and start getting some work in. I will come back here for my renewal. read more

Passed my notary exam with 100% perfect score!!! Daniel Jones is awesome instructor. I was very confident and very relaxed taking the exam after his class! Their supplies were actually cheap. I did research, google around and looking online to compare the price. The loan signing class was also informative and also gave information about mobile notary business. Highly recommended and Worth the price. read more

Daniel C . Jones, What can I say? AMAZING!! Daniel is a great well informed, hands on instructor.I took the 6 hour course, and scored a 92 first try. Daniel makes himself available even after the classes, and he truly is an amazing instructor. I just finished taking the supplemental Workshop ( highly recommended) and I must say he is the best of the best. Where others may shuffle the in coming students with the old, Daniel and Notary class really care about your sucess. A heartfelt THANK YOU Daniel, and Notaryclasses.com. You are the Best of the best ! read more

I have attended three classes with NotaryClasses.com. My experience started with registration and receiving confirmation in a timely manner. All of their correspondence is done like this. Fast and efficient. A rarity these days. The first class was 6 hours for same-day study to then take the state exam at the end of that day. The instructor (Dan) is SO thorough, that if you don't pass that day, then surely you weren't in the classroom, or you just weren't paying attention. He is VERY thorough really helps you to understand the material so you can do well on the exam. Though, I'm not saying you can come in for the last hour and bang out the correct answers. Next I took the "Document Signing" class. (6 hours). This is an absolute MUST if you don't want to feel like you'll be floundering when you get started as a notary. The instructor is VERY THOROUGH, especially with those loan documents with many pages, some which need notarizing, and some that don't. She'll take you through, page by page! BONUS: she extends the class one extra hour (free if charge) for those who are starting their own mobile notary (me). This was worth its weight in gold. Everything from fees to what kind of printer to get. So many details you'd make mistakes with are eliminated and taken care of here. My third class "Hands On" was the "golden ticket". Dan provided a class (3 hours) with students actually notarizing. Seeing the document, determining what would be needed (Acknowledgement or Jurat), when to ask for identification, when to fill out the journal, where the notary signs and where the customer signs. How to use the stamps for the best print, how to use fingerprint pad, etc. All of these things may perhaps seem trivial, but aren't answering the questions on Jeopardy always easier sitting on your sofa? I LOVED this class, and I HIGHLY recommend it to round out your training. NotaryClasses.com has taken the time to offer this trifecta of classes and I am truly grateful. Thank You! 5 stars!!! read more

I renewed my Notary commission with Notaryclasses.com and also recently took a three hour workshop to practice different notarial situations, common and not so common. I found it to be very helpful and I know it will also be valuable to me as I begin to notarize. Daniel Jones was my instructor for both the original notary class and the workshop. He is great, loved his teaching style. He is very thorough, patient and made it easy to follow along and understand everything. I think the workshop should be a requirement for all notaries to complete before they begin notarizing. Thank you Daniel and Notaryclasses for helping me renew my commission and get back up to speed again! read more

Passed the exam!!! Thank you so much. I am super happy and looking forward to my new career.

I took Daniel Jones's notary class here and passed the first time. Also attended his practical application workshop which was fun and very informative. Daniel is an amazing trainer and very accommodating. From the notary class to the exam to the supplies, commission, notary agent ID, bonds, and practical training, NotaryClasses.com is the way to go if you want to be a notary public. read more

BEWARE! You are not allowed to cancel once you pay for the class. They will not give you a refund if you need to cancel for any reason. There is no cancellation policy displayed on their website. They will also charge you a fee to reschedule classes. read more

If you're thinking of getting your notary license this is the way to do it! Six hours then take the test -- done! They set you up with everything you need. My instructor Daniel Jones made what could be, and let's be honest -- is -- dry material interesting and fun. His enthusiasm and obvious passion for what he does made the time go by fast! I felt prepared for the exam and also armed with the materials I need to get started. Highly recommend! Update: I received my test results and scored 97%. read more

Great experience! I didn't study much at all prior and still passed after taking this class. Well worth the money! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their commission or renew their commission. The whole process was easy from start to finish. I was able to get my finger prints done, my photo, and test in the same day! read more

I studied the online materials and videos hard prior to taking my notary exam. Needless to say, I was more than thrilled when I passed with a 100% score! The instructors are awesome and the staff is always very attentive when I've called the office or sent an email. I recently took the 2.5 hour Notary Basics class on a Sunday and now feel much more prepared to be out in the field. There are so many different scenarios and challenges that come with being a notary so the booklet from this class will be a handy guide I will keep as a reference. I would like to thank Daniel and the female instructor for the 6 hour class/exam and sharing all your wisdom and experiences with newbies like myself. Im looking forward to taking the Loan Signing Agent class in a couple of weeks. Sign up with notaryclasses.com. You won't be disappointed if you put in the work! read more

I think everyone should take this class if you are trying to become a notary public. I tried working right after getting my commission and that was a big mistake. I kept on getting back rejected documents. After attending the class it all makes sense and I can comfortably preform notarial acts. Thanks Notaryclasses.com read more

Excellent class! It was very hands on and we were able to role play with others. This class has provided me the confidence and additional knowledge needed for first timers!!! Daniel always make himself available to the students via email or phone call. For any new notary .... please take this class! You won't be sorry read more

Not happy I took my loan signing course through you. I went to go to the websites you listed in the book to sign up for work. None of them will accept your loan signing program. Now I have to pay to take the nna test and background. What a waste of money. One thing I can say you do have a great class to get your commission. read more

I took my first notary class with Mr. Dan Jones 4 years ago and took a renewal class this year. Last Sunday I took the hands on notary class. I was skeptical at first but after the class i felt so relieved and knowledgeable about notarizing ant documents. I am more confident now and felt more intelligent representing this field of expertise. Mr. Jonea is one of the best teachers I ever had and he is the best in this field. I pass all my exams one time because of the expertise and knowledge he shared with his students..he is all hands on and knows everything about notarizing documents. Thanks Dan and see you again in 4 years. read more

BAD CLASS, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! I took the Loan Signing Agent class as I was already a notary. The instructor talked a lot about herself being a notary. Most of the information was irrelevant to being a Loan Signing Agent. Spent an entire Sunday in Riverside to spend about 10 minutes going over the actual loan documents for signing. Most of the information (aside from her talking about herself) was about how to market yourself and creating a website, which was also a plug for her son who she said could help people build good websites. A good website and all the marketing in the world is NOT going to be useful if you don't have the skills and knowledge to be a good loan signing agent. Notaryclasses.com did not provide an adequate knowledge base or skills needed to be successful as a loan signing agent. After several phone calls and emails, I NEVER received the certificate that I paid for, spent a day in Riverside for, took and passed a test for and as promised by notaryclasses.com. When I called, I got someone who answered the phone "hello" in a voice that sounded like I was bothering her to be calling. I'm sure there are some who have good experiences with notaryclasses.com. However, this was my experience and it was really BAD! read more

I didn't get much out of the www.notaryclasses.com class by Joan Bergstrom. I've attended 3-4 notary and loan signing classes before (all with the National Notary Association.org) and this one made me feel least prepared for the notary exam at the end of the day. Joan mumbles quickly through reading paragraphs many times. I often do not know where she is reading until she looks up and shoots some bullet points about them. If I hadn't read through the study guide prior to coming to class and have been a notary / signing agent for over 10 years, I would probably not have taken the exam right after class. Her presentation is to "help" you pass the state exam. I didn't feel it would have helped me if I were new to notary. I was anticipating hands on practical explanations of experiences in the notary class. She tells stories but not scenarios where notaries might encounter difficulties to work through them. That's what I look for in these (interactive) classes but didn't find from her story telling. During break, I asked her a question. She kept walking away while talking as if she's too busy to answer me. I bought a journal and inkless ink pad from them and when I tested it at home, the inkless ink pad resulted with ink on my thumb. I asked specifically whether the ink pad was inkless and was assured it is. Maybe they don't think I know what an inkless pad is. Called her office to receive the correct ink pad. Gal says I will receive it in a few days. It's been over a month and I still don't have anything in the mail. I hate that companies rip customers off. What I did appreciate was that she brings in a vendor to do live scan fingerprinting and has her own staff take passport photos in class for extra costs, thereby, offering convenience. Overall, I am simply not impressed with this family business. I will pay more and get better quality training elsewhere on my next renewal. read more

My mom took the course from notaryclasses.com in San Jose, CA. My mom didn't pass her exam, which she takes some of the blame for, but on the other hand she has been a notary for about ten years and hasn't failed any of her previous exams after attending classes from different companies. So, I believe there is something to be said about the level of preparation for the actual exam and she actually did read the course material emailed to her prior to the class. In fairness, she only did take the 3 hour course optioned for those who are current notaries and maybe if she took the 6 hour course she could have passed. Maybe or maybe not. Unless they drill sample questions for the previous 3 hours, I doubt it though. As someone who scored in the 93rd percentile on the GMAT (yep that's me bragging), I know one of the largest parts of test preparation is drilling questions. Additionally, the phone receptionist is either misinformed or just misleading. My mom needed a certificate of completion and the receptionist told her that if she paid $10 she would send her a copy. My mom called another notary instruction company and they told her that CA state would send her one automatically. Literally, that same day, my mom received the certificate from the state. $10 saved by not listening to the phone representative. Lastly, another evidence about a misinformed telephone receptionist, the person on the phone said my mom could not retake the test until 30 days after her last exam. In reality, she cannot retake the test within the same calendar month, which means you cannot take a test twice in August or September, etc, but you can take one test in August and one test in September. You'd really think they would know that little piece of information. read more

I had taken the 6-hour class about 3-1/2 years ago and was able to pass the test the first time. My commission will expire later this year, so I decided to sign up for this class again, even though I could have taken just the 3-hour class. The instructor this time was Daniel C. Jones and he put on a fantastic class. I had braced myself for hours of boredom, but instead received a wealth of new information and an understanding of things that never sunk in well previously. Mr. Jones is a super dynamic instructor who can make some of the more obscure notary processes clear as can be. I would highly recommend this class for anyone just starting off or who wants to be recommissioned. read more

I learned a lot in this class. I purchased all services (fingerprint roller to become a livescan operator, practice class, & loan signing class). I past all test & waiting on credentials. All of the instructors were very thorough & informative. They offer the chance for you to own & operate a business for under $500. The only reason I give 4 stars is because the notary package did not have the hard cover notary journal when they actually inform you to have it in the loan signing course. Also, all of the stamps are not included in the package. I had to purchase the jurat & disclaimer stamp separately. I would have rather paid for everything at 1 time (included in the box). Other than that; I'm grateful for them & happy to open my new business. read more

I took Daniel C. Jones's Notary class this week and it was fantastic!! I know I aced the test, 100%! I really appreciated that fact that he put the key learning points into scenarios as opposed to just going over what is what. It helped me understand why and how things are done for each situation, which painted a clearer picture for me. I also took advantage of the learning tools, provided on the www.notaryclasses.com website, before the class. I truly appreciate having access to all that information. From the flash cards, the handbook, to the sample exam questions; I felt very prepared coming into his class. There really isn't anything I could suggest to improve the experience, and I will be referring notaryclasses.com to anyone looking to become a notary! Thanks Daniel!! read more

Daniel Jones was the instructor for the Notary Class I attended with NotaryClasses.com a few weeks ago. The class went very quickly, and I felt prepared for the exam when the class ended. The pre-study materials were also great! Daniel seemed very committed to the students that pass through his class, offering to answer questions & to keep in contact after they pass their exams. Yes, I received my exam results this week & passed. read more

I took the 6 r class at the Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena. 6 hrs in a room with no windows, no cell reception, no food in the hotel to by besides candy. as you start the class, they totally talk you into buying the book and the ink pad, pictures, do the backround check.... and you spend you money away. I did NOT pass the test the first time. I am suppose to retake it tomorrow after another 6 hr of torcher where the lady talks more about her life as a Notary public and how much money she makes doing that, even though she wouldn't' be teaching weekend classes if that was the case.....I sat next to others that were there to take the test again....so based on that, the teacher sucks! I would like to re take the class but certainly not with these clowns. So far I have spend almost $200 with Notaryclasses.com...for nothing! Don't recommend it! read more

In reference to the Notary Practice Class: Very comprehensive class. Super informative. Come prepared to pay attention and stay focused. There is a mountain of information to absorb in 3 hours. The location is good, the facility is good. I feel more confident than I did before the class. Thank you for your knowledge and passion! read more

Second time coming to them for my re-commission, my last was 8 yrs ago. The owner, Dan is a fantastic instructor and enjoy his teaching technique to help you remember certain points for the exam. Highly recommend the 6 hr class vs. the 3 hr refresher course since you get more bang for your buck for the same price and helps ensure you pass! Also the best competing price as a one-stop shop for available services. Would like to see Dan offer advanced workshops for experienced notaries looking to improve their craft. read more

Wonderful, education and overall just awesome! You cannot get this kind of class anywhere else, this was a great opportunity for me to learn and make less mistakes when I actually do it. Highly recommended!! read more

I had to renew my commission and found them online. It was at the Holiday Inn in Anaheim. Daniel Jones was our instructor. He was great. He made the 6 hours bare able. He was informative and funny. I am a loyal customer from now on. read more

Very happy and pleased with Dan the instructor... he sure does know how to teach in a fun manner, making it a lot easier to comprehend and learn. I was pretty worried about not understanding the content because it was something completely new to me, but after a couple of hours in class, Dan made it a lot more easier. I was somewhat concerned about taking the test after the 8 hour class, I was overly worried I wouldn't pass, but come take the test I knew the majority of the answers without hesitation! I just got my results after 15 days and I passed with a 89%!!!! So happy and thankful to this great instructor! I highly recommend!!! read more

I took all 3 classes, The Notary Licensing class, The Loan Signing class & The Notary Workshop. I'm glad That I attended these classes worth every penny. Thank you NotaryClasses.com/Daniel Jones & Joan Bergstrom. read more

I highly recommend this course if you are pursuing becoming a notary. Mr. Jones provides excellent material prior to the class. I studied prior to the class date and the class was an excellent review before taking the exam. Highly recommend this course. read more

A lot of the material on the test is not covered in the class. Not good!! I wouldn't recommend it.

I got my results back today and passed with nearly a perfect score, so clearly they did a good job of teaching the material. I took my class in Oakland (at the holiday inn express on airport access road). Daniel was out for the day, but the instructor was an older woman (who works with him) and she was great. The material was a bit dry, but she kept it entertaining with stories and mnemonics to help us remember some of the more esoteric stuff (fine amounts). Did a great job of answering questions and hammering home important points as well. The location was pretty crappy, and there wasn't much in terms of lunch you could walk to. Don't bother paying for the notary materials they try to upsell you. Most of them aren't that helpful: you can print jurats etc from pdfs freely available online. My other tip? Get there early. I was the first one there, and got to take care of my live scan early. I spent some time the night before reading through most of the material - I'd recommend you do the same thing, the test has really tricky questions, and it's better to know the material well going into it. You have to pay to take the exam a second time, as well as contact notaryclasses to get another copy of the form that shows you completed the course. If you want to become a notary, you really can't get out of taking the 6 hour class. I recommend taking it with these guys, they do a good job. read more

I took the loan signing and the notary class and also the practice class and they are Amazing and very knowledgeable. Every teacher I had was still in the business. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to become a notary public. read more
