Obtaining a Real Estate License
The Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course is administered on behalf of the Real Estate Council of British Columbia (RECBC). The course provides the licensing education requirements for those who wish to become licensed as a trading services representative.
This self-paced online course allows you to register, begin the course and work at your own pace. You must complete all course assignments within one year of registration in the course and also pass a final examination. Regularly scheduled exams take place at various times throughout the year throughout the province (exams must be written in Canada) and your first written examination registration is included with the course tuition fee. You may also choose to take your exam at the computerized exam centre (CEC) at UBC for an additional fee.
For pre-requisite and English language proficiency requirements, please visit Sauder School of Business website at http://www.sauder.ubc.ca/Programs/Real_Estate_Division/Licensing_Courses/Real_Estate_Trading_Services for the most current information.
Upon completion of the Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course, the applicant has satisfied the licensing educational qualification in British Columbia for a representative’s license restricted to provide real estate trading services and will qualify you to work for a licensed brokerage. You will also need to complete the Residential or Commercial Trading Services Applied Practice Real Estate Course offered by the Real Estate Council of BC (RECBC). This course, which must be taken by all trading service representatives, is intended to build upon the technical knowledge provided in the Real Estate Trading Services Licensing course.
Please Note:
Effective, January 2015 and beyond the following changes occur:
- Upon completing and passing your Real Estate Licensing course and exam through UBC Sauder School of business, you will apply for entrance into a mandatory 6-month training program that will be offered 3 times per year. This program consists of 3 stages:
- Stage 1 is 2 weeks of practical training, upon successful completion a temporary real estate license will be issued and you will be accepted to stage 2 of training.
- Stage 2 training is a 4.5 month, non instructor led, online-based course. Upon successful completion, you will be accepted to stage 3 of training.
- Stage 3 is a live 2 day, hands-on assessment and training. This may need to be taken in Vancouver.
