The California Notary School prides itself on being "student friendly," by which it means students are trained to pass the notary exam on their first try for the lowest price. In fact, if you don't pass on your first try, you can get a refund once you do pass. The school offers online and home study courses. The official California notary exam is given directly after the live courses.
