How to become a licensed real estate agent in B.C.

Under the direction of the British Columbia Financial Services Authority (BCFSA), the Real Estate Division of the University of British Columbia (UBC) administers the Real Estate Trading Services Licensing Course. It takes a minimum of 10 weeks to complete all required assignments, plus time for booking/taking the examination. Depending on your schedule, you can complete the course over a longer period at a more leisurely pace.

The exam can be taken on a pre-determined date or you may opt to pay an additional fee for a computer-administered exam at UBC. Taking the exam by computer means you should have your results within 24 hours, rather than several weeks.
