Continuing Education

Real Estate Professionals are required to complete mandatory continuing education courses as part of the two-year licence renewal cycle.

Our courses ensure professionals obtain, maintain, and enhance the skills necessary to protect the public and ensure awareness of emerging trends and issues. Mandatory continuing education helps reinforce knowledge and addresses topical issues, trends and legislation changes. It contributes directly to raising industry standards by helping to ensure real estate professionals understand their role and the rules and regulations.

You must complete the Legal Update and Ethics courses within your two-year licensing cycle.

Please note: BCFSA’s Anti-Money Laundering in Real Estate course is no longer required for licence renewal. You are encouraged to register if you are looking to deepen or refresh your knowledge on anti-money laundering obligations.
