Why Struggle - Buy OLT

OLT is a student-centered company. Our course authors and instructors listen to students and seek to improve the learning experience and knowledge transfer. We can quickly make changes to the online lesson material as needs arise. The OLT staff at every level, from the Registrar to the Webmistress focus on the student to simplify, improve, and automate the experience.

A student in a course may feel like an isolated learner, working alone to acquire new knowledge and skills. But they are in a virtual learning space with multiple students in the same course, and hundreds of students in similar courses enrolled either individually or through many educational and corporate partners. Thousands of students enroll and complete OLT courses every year. Since OLT opened its doors in 1998 providing online courses, we have had 68,921 course registrations (as of this writing on April 19, 2021).

We offer a student “Breakroom” forum where students can ask each other questions, share things they have learned, and network with each other. This Breakroom continues to be available to them even after they finish our courses, receive their licenses, and develop their careers.

We worked with a Florida college and the Florida Department of Financial Services in 1999 to develop the first online pre-licensing insurance course, and its success rate in preparing students for the State Exam beat that of the classroom experience. Since then, we have partnered with most of the Community/State Colleges in our home state of Florida to be their insurance pre-licensing and continuing education online training provider, and now offer real estate courses, as well as many personal and professional development courses in all fifty states.

You are not alone. Our instructors, staff, and technologists are all here with the single purpose of ensuring you are successful. We exist because you are here.

Dr. Redding has been designing and teaching adult education courses since 1968. Terry is a past W. K. Kellogg Fellow and has a doctoral degree in Adult and Higher Education. He has a Master’s Degree in the Psychology of Education and is an honors graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. His research has dealt with adult motivation theory and the origins of self-directed learning readiness. He has specialized in cognitive learning models and is the co-developer of the Honeycutt Redding Cognitive Task Analysis Model.

For more than thirty years, he has been involved in an ongoing series of research projects associated with the development of high self-directed learning readiness. Of great significance is the finding that children between ages 8 and 15 who become highly self-directed learners typically share a common childhood experience. Redding has labeled this experience “the first moment of lasting excitement.” High self-directed learners who share this common experience can remember some event that has captured their imagination for life. Typically, these individuals find their lifelong learning endeavors in some way tied to this “first moment of lasting excitement”.

He held his first insurance license in 1974 and was again licensed from 1989 through 1992 as part of his responsibilities at the Oklahoma Research Center for Continuing Professional and Higher Education. More recently, Terry has been the Director of Corporate Training and Corporate Computer Training at Palm Beach Atlantic College. He is the author of numerous referred chapters dealing with adult learning theory and the founder of the OnLine Training Institute.
