Post-Registration Updates
The Post-Registration Phase, step 3 of the Real Estate Salesperson Program, was launched in December 2020. We offer our congratulations to the more than 50 learners who have already completed this phase.
Here’s what program alumni, Shammi, had to say about his Post-Registration experience:
"The instructors are knowledgeable, the support centre and content support desk were helpful, and the study materials were thorough and easy to follow. I felt supported by the program staff and because of this studying and succeeding in the courses was easy.”
Congratulations to Shammi and all our other Real Estate Salesperson Program alumni. We wish you the best of luck in your career.
For those still working towards completing Post-Registration electives, on Monday, February 22, Working in Real Estate: Rural, Recreational, Waterfront Properties – eLearning, will open for registration; eLearning courses will begin on Tuesday, February 23.
This course provides learners with more information about listing and selling rural residential, recreational, and waterfront properties. It is comprised of four modules that explain the requirements and processes for trading in rural residential, recreational, and waterfront properties.

If Learners notice a new exam time(s) has opened, they may opt to transfer from an existing registration to a newly opened timeslot. However, please note that a $50 administration fee does apply to all transfers. For more information, please visit the Examination Policy and the Fees, Payments & Refunds Policy.

Step-by-step instructions on how to access, install the new plugin and App, and connect with Proctortrack can be found in the Proctortrack Learner Guide.
Please note, completing the identification verification process and securing the testing environment with your virtual proctor can take up to 45 minutes. Your exam time does not begin until your testing environment has been secured, you have informed your proctor you are ready to begin, and your exam has been unlocked.
