Pre-licensing education
Study with the only Alberta university providing Real Estate Council of Alberta-recognized pre-licensing courses
I found the University of Calgary's course in the Fundamentals of Real Estate to be incredibly thorough and well structured. The course materials were comprehensive and helpful in preparing me for the Residential course as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in real estate. The course not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary for success but also instilled confidence as I progressed through the course. Thank you, University of Calgary for such a valuable learning experience!
