Cheaper. Faster. Better.

Why Us? 

Because we're very good at what we do. In fact, we're so good that our competitor actually got a state law passed that was written specifically to put us out of business. This law would have forced everyone who wanted to be a bondsman in North Carolina to go to their school to get licensed. Read about it here


Everyone knows that it's always better to have a choice. Choices define your life, and your level of success. The school you attend for your bail bond education needs to be good because you can only re-take the state exam one more time within 90 days if you don't pass the first time. If a school has no competition and they're the only game in town, why should they care how good they are, or whether you pass or not? If you fail and have to re-take the class, they'll just see you -- and your money -- again.


So, we fought the law that would have taken away your right to choose the best school for you -- all the way to the Supreme Court. We had to keep fighting because they just wouldn't give up, even though they lost -- and we won -- every step of the way. The law was ruled illegal and unconstitutional by North Carolina Superior Court, the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. It was a long, hard, expensive fight, but it was worth it because we're still here and we really do believe that having a choice in bail bond educational training schools is important. And, fortunately, the NC Superior Court, Court of Appeals and Supreme Court judges all agree with us.   


We encourage you to compare. Check out our testimonials page. Talk to anyone who has been to our class. Talk to anyone who has been to our competitor's class. Ask questions. Find out why they are so afraid of competition. And why we're not. 


Ask any bondsman in this state. Not only do we start you off right, we're also here for you as an advocate and resource throughout your career. If you have a question or need help with a problem, we're just a phone call away. 

 

We want you to go to the school that's best for you. Like we said, we'll support and help you anytime you need us -- even if you choose to go elsewhere for your training. All we ask is that you take a moment and look at why we think we're your best choice.

PASS RATE.

Our comprehensive course exam pass rate average is 99.5% . Our competitor doesn't come close. The comprehensive course exam is given by the provider at the end of class, and we think it is the single best indicator of how you will do on your state exam. We designed our course to specifically prepare our students to pass the state exam, and as you can see by our pass rate, we're doing something right. We provide consistently high quality instruction at every class. Plus, our down-to-earth, informal approach makes all of our classes enjoyable.


COST. 

We're extending our special price, so you pay only $375! That's significantly less expensive than you'll pay elsewhere. We'll provide everything you'll need for class. You don't even need to bring a pen. If your certificate expires, you can come back to class for $300. In the highly unlikely event that you don't pass the state exam, you can come back to class free.


QUALITY CONTENT.

We take a fresh approach to bail bond education. Our pre-licensing course features the most current information available as well as hands-on instruction. You'll fill out bond and surrender forms -- just like you would on the job. You'll even hear your instructor take live bail calls. You will receive 'real world' training that will make you more employable and successful. You will even leave class with your instructor's phone number, so you will have direct access to your instructor 24/7 if you have any questions after class.

 

PRACTICE TESTS.

Our practice tests are designed to be as close as possible to the state bail bond exam, in content and format. They are also designed to highlight the areas in which you need more practice. You will take home practice tests and study guides that will fully prepare you for the state exam. 


In addition, your instructor will immediately grade your test at the end of class and discuss the incorrect answers with you. We think it's important that you know what you missed and what the correct answer is, so you won't make the same mistake on your state exam. 


REFRESHER COURSES.

Anytime before you take your state exam, you are welcome to come back to class again for a free refresher course. After you send in your application to the Department of Insurance, it usually takes about four to six weeks for you to get a letter back saying that you're eligible to take the state exam. That's a big lag time, so please come to see us again. You'll be surprised at how much more you'll pick up the second time around.   

 

INSTRUCTORS.

Our instructors are the secret to your success. Learn more about them here. They have had long, successful careers in bail bonding and their experience and expertise are unmatched. Our classes are fun, energetic and very effective and it's all because of our instructors. 


CAREER SUPPORT.

As a first year licensee, you must work under a supervising bondsman for one year. Our job placement assistance may prove valuable to you if you have not addressed this.* If you need a supervising agent, we will be happy to put you in touch with experienced supervising agents who are in the market for new agents.


Our relationship with our students doesn’t end when class does. We’ll be here for you as long as you’re a bondsman. Bondsmen who have been licensed for years know they can call us when they need advice or a question answered. NC Bail Academy is an advocate and resource for students and licensed bondsmen throughout their career. Let us help make your bail bonding career a long and successful one.


*We, as an education provider, cannot guarantee you employment nor can we steer or recruit you on behalf of any potential employer. Supervising bondsmen who are hiring may ask that their name be placed on a contact list. This list will be made available to all students. We cannot recommend or become involved in the recruiting or hiring process.
