Wow I hadn't checked this post since I replied to your question! Looks like there are a lot of strong feelings towards your question. In any case whether it's online or in person I still would suggest that you not quit your job. I'm building Agency currently and in person instruction can be done in 14 days even while working maybe longer if you need the time. However, it has been found to be more difficult to pass than studying online. I've had 3 agents fail after in person only to go back and study online and pass the first time. Again I hope I helped and I'm sorry you have to sift through so many negative comments.
Check out Xcel testing solutions which allows you to study on your own time that way you can study in your spare time when you are not at work or on your lunch break. It wouldn't be wise to quit your job because there are certain expenses tied to becoming an agent that you want to be able to comfortably afford. I advise all of my guys to reduce themselves to part time until they earn a steady commission so that they can transition comfortably. I hope that helped.
