CONCORD, N.C. – May 26, 2026 – Skyline School has been named the No. 1 Trade School in Concord, North Carolina by BusinessRate, a recognition program that ranks businesses using verified Google review data within the same category and local market.
The honor is based on the BusinessRate Benchmark Score, which looks beyond star ratings to weigh review consistency, recency, and the depth of customer feedback over time. Skyline School currently holds a 4.9-star Google rating from more than 500 student reviews. Student loyalty has also been a major part of the school’s growth, with the average Skyline student completing 2.4 classes through the school.
“A lot of schools focus on getting students in the door. We focus on whether they’d actually recommend us afterward,” said Dr. Michael Walker, Education Director of Skyline School. “That’s why reviews matter to us so much. They’re public accountability.”
Founded in Concord, Skyline School offers career education for real estate agents, brokers, mortgage loan originators, and general contractors. Its course catalog includes post-licensing courses, exam prep, continuing education, GENUP and BICUP courses, CE electives, and a Chat GPT course built specifically for real estate professionals.
The school is licensed by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, allowing it to serve licensed professionals across the state through in-person, live online, and self-paced course formats.
Student reviews consistently describe Skyline instructors as engaging, witty, and easy to follow, while praising the clarity of the school’s course materials and the simplicity of its online platform. That feedback, Walker said, is the real measure of the school’s work.
“You can have a polished website and expensive marketing, but if students leave feeling like they wasted their time, none of it matters,” Walker said. “We want people finishing our classes feeling more confident and more prepared than when they started.”
Skyline School plans to continue growing its course catalog through 2026, with new electives and additional tools aimed at working professionals. The recognition comes as demand for flexible online career education continues to grow among working professionals seeking licensing and continuing education options.
