Program Pathway
Step 1: Broker Qualifying Exam
To begin the Real Estate Broker Program, learners must first pass the Broker Qualifying Exam. This three-hour, theory-based exam evaluates a learner’s foundational knowledge of real estate trading practices in Ontario and confirms their readiness to enter the program.
Step 2: eLearning Courses
Once the qualifying exam is successfully completed, learners proceed through a series of four self-paced online courses:
- Course 1: Planning and Start-Up
- Course 2: Business Management
- Course 3: Human Resources
- Course 4: Ongoing Oversight
Each course builds on the knowledge and responsibilities required to operate and manage a brokerage effectively.
Step 3: Wrap-Up Session – Bringing It All Together
This mandatory two-day, instructor-led session provides learners the opportunity to apply their learning through practical case studies and simulated broker responsibilities. It reinforces regulatory compliance, business operations, and leadership practices in a brokerage.
Step 4: Final Broker Exam
After completing all courses and the wrap-up session, learners must write and pass the final broker exam. Successful completion qualifies learners to apply for broker registration with RECO.
