Practice of Property Management

This course will solidify your understanding of the required competencies and skills required of property manager associates by the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). The Practice of Property Management builds upon the learning from the Fundamentals of Real Estate. Together, these courses make up the pre-licensing education requirements for authorization as a licensed property manager associate in Alberta. As an exam prep course, this course condenses the content included on the Property Management Associate Licensing Exam into a self-directed learning format complete with knowledge checks to test your retention and understanding. Each course unit covers in-depth topics that meet the competencies required for pre-licensing education set by RECA. Once enrolled, learners will have 6 months to complete the course at their own pace.

The learning experience includes:

• Flexible, self-paced modules that integrate comprehensive written content with real-life case studies based on RECA-defined learning outcomes and property manager associate competencies.
• Access to digital course materials for up to 6 months for continuous reference while employed as a licensed industry professional.
• Engagement with a network of co-learners, companies, partners, and fellow Haskayne School of Business alumni across the Alberta real estate community.
• Introduction to a variety of exclusive industry and academic engagement events through the Westman Centre for Real Estate Studies.
