Curriculum
The Real Estate Broker program comprises of four core components:
Step 1: Qualifying Exam
To begin the program, learners must pass the Qualifying Exam, which assesses core knowledge of real estate trading in Ontario. The exam is three hours in length.
Step 2: eLearning Courses
After passing the qualifying exam, learners progress through the following components:
- Course 1: Planning and Start-up
- Course 2: Business Management
- Course 3: Human Resources
- Course 4: Ongoing Oversight
Step 3: A two-day interactive wrap-up session, Bringing It All Together, provides practical insights and integration of the course content.
Step 4: After completing the courses and wrap-up session, learners take the final broker exam, to qualify to apply to RECO for registration as a broker.
