Real Estate as a Professional Career

The Phase 1 – Real Estate as a Professional Career Course is administered on behalf of the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission (SREC). The course provides part of the registration education requirements for those who wish to become a licensed registrant as either a salesperson or property manager and must be completed prior to registration in any Phase 2 Course. Designed for entry-level students who want to become registered in Saskatchewan to provide real estate salesperson or property management services, this course addresses foundational topics such as the legal framework for real estate services in Saskatchewan, professional ethics and liability, land ownership and title registration, valuation and financing in real estate, and the fundamentals of agency and contract law.

This blended learning course allows students to register at any time.
