Open House - February 2020

A Monthly Newsletter for the Real Estate Salesperson Program

EDITION 4 | FEBRUARY 2020

Simulation Session 1

The first five-day Simulation Session for our first group of learners recently concluded. We would like to thank participants for their enthusiasm as they applied information and knowledge from their eLearning courses to live, practical scenarios. Led by facilitators who are experts in real estate, these classroom-based Simulation Sessions are one of the most innovative components of the new Real Estate Salesperson Program. These mandatory Simulations provide learners with the opportunity to practice various elements of real estate transactions.

Simulation Session 1
Here’s what learners had to say about their experience in Simulation Session 1:
Our instructors have been fantastic at breaking things down step-by-step and using pertinent examples from their vast experience to build our knowledge, understanding and confidence as future real estate salespeople.
Great experienced facilitators helped guide us through real-life scenarios. Overall, a valuable learning experience and a surprisingly excellent opportunity to network with other students and salespeople-to-be.

More About the Simulation Sessions

Learners can register for a Simulation Session as soon as they receive a passing grade for the prerequisite Course 3 exam. Please be reminded that registration for all Simulation Sessions is only open until three days prior to that session.

Learners must achieve a minimum cumulative passing score of 75 percent across all assessment questions in order to pass the Simulation Session.

Learners who do not meet the passing criteria, are required to register into a Remediation Day. Information about the Remediation Days can be found on the registration page of the program website. There is a $50 cost for each Remediation Day.

Complement eLearning with Facilitated Review Sessions

Facilitated Review Session
We understand that individuals have different learning styles. One way of adding to your learning experience is by participating in an in-person or virtual Facilitated Review Session (FRS). These optional sessions are designed to provide learners with coaching and direction on the more complex areas of the program. Feedback from learners indicates that having the opportunity to review eLearning course materials with an experienced Real Estate professional has helped to learn and understand concepts and to prepare for exams. They also provide an opportunity to build your network and learn with others in a supportive community.

There are fourteen sessions in total. Courses 2, 3 and 4 have seven, three and four Facilitated Review Sessions, respectively. The FRS is optional to learners who are looking for additional support and are available for a modest price. Learners should select the FRS option when first registering for a Course.

Each individual FRS is three hours long. All sessions address some of the more complex concepts in the e-learning courses under the guidance of an expert facilitator. Activities include small group work, individual activities, guided reviews and debriefs.

Bring Your Own Device

Good news! To align with Humber’s sustainability goals, we are introducing a process to the Simulation Sessions to reduce printed materials.

In the coming months, we will provide more information as to which materials learners will need to access online. Where possible, materials will be fillable forms and designed to provide a positive user experience. In the future, learners will be required to bring their own laptop, tablet or device to the Simulation Sessions.
