The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) has won an Education Award in the Post-Licensing / Continuing Education Course category from the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO). The association developed the Residential Trading Services Applied Practice Course and operates it on behalf of the Real Estate Council of British Columbia.
The course is designed to provide practical training in real estate to new real estate licensees to enable them to confidently and effectively serve the public’s real estate needs in a professional manner.
“This award demonstrates what great things can be produced when the real estate council and BCREA collaborate to enhance professionalism. This is a good news story for both consumers and real estate licensees in B.C.,” says Robert Laing, CEO at BCREA.
Completely redesigned and relaunched in 2015, the course is a unique, interactive combination of classroom and online learning, practical training exercises and mentorship that provides new real estate licensees opportunities to apply and practice their regulatory obligations and demonstrate their competence, the association says. Almost 1,500 new licensees are expected to take the course in 2015.
“The council is extremely pleased that the new Applied Practice Course has been recognized by ARELLO. The course is the culmination of outstanding work and collaboration by many wonderful individuals and sets an excellent standard for education in the real estate industry,” says Robert O. Fawcett, CEO, RECBC.
ARELLO presented the award at its Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. ARELLO is an international organization dedicated to supporting jurisdictions in the administration and enforcement of real estate license laws to promote and protect the public interest.
