Residential Real Estate as a Professional Career

The Residential 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 a salesperson in Saskatchewan.

This blended learning course allows students to register at any time. While the course is flexible in order to meet the needs of busy adult learners, students will need to keep in mind the requirement to complete all courses and exams within two years of registration in the Phase 1 course. Students must complete the Phase 1 and Phase 2 course in their chosen stream and become registered with a brokerage within two years of initial registration. Regularly scheduled exams take place at various times throughout the year throughout the province (exams must be written in Canada) with the written examination registration included with the course tuition fee.
