Real Estate and Mortgage Re-licensing Education Program

The next real estate and mortgage broker Re-Licensing Education Program (REP) courses – Real Estate Update 2009-2010 and Mortgage Broker Update 2009-2010 – will be launched on October 1, 2009. All real estate and mortgage industry members will be required to complete the applicable course prior to renewing their authorization on September 30, 2010. For your convenience, the course will be available online through RECA’s website/education portal, as well as in the classroom.

In keeping with Council’s policy with respect to re-licensing education, REP for the coming registration year will focus on:

  • Legislative updates with information on changes to the Real Estate Act, Rules, or Regulations, as required.
  • Legal updates with decisions stemming from relevant court cases and/or RECA hearings that will be of interest to industry members.
  • Emerging issues, which may include items that have been brought to RECA’s attention by industry members or consumers. It may also be proactive in anticipating issues that could arise in the coming year.
  • Compliance issues, which may include items that have been noted in discussions with industry members or consumers or relate to a gap between an industry practice and legislative compliance.

Property Management Course Update

Since December 2008, the Real Estate Council of Alberta has been offering the Introduction to a Career in Property Management course as part of Phase 3 of the Real Estate Associates' Program (REAP). Enrollment in the course has been steady and learner feedback has been positive.

The property management course is required for those individuals entering the real estate industry who wish to trade in real estate conducting property management activities. If you are already authorized for property management activities, you may wish to take this course to enhance your education. The course is available online through RECA. To enroll in the course, please go to the RECA website at www.reca.ca and click on 'RECA Education.'
