Rental Property Management Licensing Course

The Rental Property Management Licensing Course is administered on behalf of the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA). The course provides the licensing education requirements for those who wish to become licensed property managers in British Columbia. This course combines the general components of the Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course with a curriculum focused on property management.

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, it provides just enough structure to ensure high quality learning. (For example, in order to provide for a minimum level of familiarity with the curriculum and for a reasonable expectation of success on the final examination, assignments may be submitted on a pace that is no greater than 2 assignments per week beginning on the Course Registration Date). Course assignments must be completed within one year of registration in the course and students must also pass a final examination. Regularly scheduled exams take place at various times throughout the year throughout the province (exams must be written in Canada) or at the computerized exam centre (CEC) at UBC.
