If you have recently completed pre-registration courses or have been registered as a salesperson or broker in a qualifying province, you may be eligible for the Interprovincial Challenge Examination.

Complete eligibility requirements can be found on the Real Estate Council of Ontario’s website.

If you are eligible, contact the college to create an account and schedule your examination.

Upon successful completion of this examination, you must then submit an application for registration to RECO.

You must complete this exam by the deadline date of November 28, 2020.

If your previous work or education provides you with real estate-related knowledge, you may choose to pursue an educational equivalency assessment with the Registrar at the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO).

This assessment may grant you course credits or examination challenges for any course in the Salesperson Registration Education Program or the Broker Registration Education Program.

You are permitted two exam attempts for each course in the program. Should you fail both attempts for the first course, Real Estate as a Professional Career, you will not be permitted to continue in the program with OREA. You may visit RECO’s website for information on starting their new education program.

If you successfully complete the first course but fail both exam attempts for a subsequent course, you must re-enrol in that course to continue in the program. Please note that all courses and exams must be successfully completed by November 28, 2020.

Please contact our customer services department. You can discuss your situation with a support representative.

If you have already started your training at the OREA Real Estate College, then you must complete all your courses and examinations with OREA. The current program will run until November 28, 2020.

Please contact RECO for information when you are ready to resume the program.
