Yes. To write the BC Real Estate Licensing Exam, you must first enroll in the Real Estate Trading Services Course offered by the University of British Columbia (UBC) Sauder School of Business. Private tutorial programs — such as Excel Realty Academy, BC Academy of Real Estate, Benson Wang, Quick Pass Master, Get Fred, Realty Course, BC School of Real Estate, GOBC, Real Smart, and others — cannot replace the official UBC course and do not administer the licensing exam. These tutorial programs (including ours at Excel Realty Academy) are designed to help you understand the material, simplify difficult concepts, and prepare you to pass the official UBC exam.
