What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Alabama Real Estate Commission licenses proprietary (private) real estate schools, and Ala. Code §34-27-6 conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond payable to the Commission. It is a student-protection guarantee — it backs the tuition and fees students pay you.
The statute is specific about coverage: the bond pays, up to $20,000 in the aggregate, judgments recovered against the school for damages arising from the school collecting tuition or fees but failing to provide the complete instruction those fees were collected for. In other words, it protects students if you take their money and don’t deliver the course.
The bond must stay in effect as long as the school is licensed. If the surety cancels it, the school has 10 days to file a replacement — failure to maintain a bond results in immediate suspension of the school’s license and all its branches. We track yours and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
