Pass the Real Estate Licensing Exam with Flying Colors on your 1st try!

While obtaining your real estate license requires a lot of hard work, study, a challenging UBC real estate exam, and application process, the income and rewards are well worth the effort. Once you become a Realtor in BC, you will come to appreciate these procedures for your preparation and the Real Estate Training you gained.

The BC real estate licensing requirements to become a real estate agent:

Step One: Pre-Registration

• The pre-registration process requires that all applicants be at least 19 years of age, of good reputation and satisfy the language proficiency requirement.

• If you have concerns about what “good reputation” entails, please visit BC Financial Services Authority's website prior to registering for the real estate licensing course.

Step Two: UBC Registration

After you are certain that your reputation and background are clear, i.e., no criminal background, you can register for:

• The UBC real estate licensing course through the Sauder School of Business at the UBC — this is another government requirement. Please make sure you purchase the HP10bii financial calculator on the UBC online registration form, or you can purchase it from somewhere else later on.
• The BC Financial Services Authority also requires that you are a graduate from a recognized university degree program at which English is the primary language of instruction; if NOT, you must achieve level 7 or higher on each of the four components (reading, writing, speaking and listening) of the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program - General test (CELPIP-G test).

If you do not have a university degree, then we suggest you pass the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program - General (CELPIP-G) test prior to registering for the UBC Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course.

• Register online at the Sauder School of Business (UBC).

Step Three: Coursework

After registration, you will receive the UBC course materials in the mail.

The UBC has the following coursework requirements for the UBC Real Estate Exam:

As you can see, the entire process to obtain a BC real estate license takes a fair bit of time, even accounting for our 3 and 6-week real estate tutorial programs shaving some time off from the process.
 Attempting to do the UBC correspondence course all on your own, may take a full year before you are ready to take the real estate licensing exam.

Most people who choose to self-study the UBC real estate correspondence course, are overwhelmed by the vast amount of information they have to master on their own. This includes a textbook of 850 pages to study, 20 assignments with 400 questions to submit, and 1,000 questions to understand fully. Without knowing which concepts are important and which are not, many people end up losing valuable time by studying aimlessly instead of making use of our professional tutorial help.

We will help you to pass the UBC exam much sooner, receive your in-brokerage sales training, and enable you to start trading real estate much sooner.
