Challenge, Exemptions, and Inter-Provincial

In certain cases, individuals may be permitted by the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) Registrar of Mortgage Brokers to challenge the Mortgages Course. If you are currently licensed in British Columbia and wish to add a service to your practice, you are required to complete the Supplemental Course and Examination.

Effective April 1, 2025, purchase of a Challenge Package will be mandatory in order to register for an examination.

Only individuals who have been provided with a written confirmation of a course exemption from the BCFSA Registrar of Mortgage Brokers are eligible to purchase the Challenge Package.

The Challenge Package costs $450 and includes the course materials in electronic format (the course manual eBook, online assignments and answers, and online Practice Questions), and access to the Course Resources webpage, and the central tutor support service.

Please note that as an alternative to purchasing the Challenge Package, you can purchase some course materials individually from the Bookstore; however, the Course Manual eBook, online assignments and answers, online Practice Questions, student handbook, and access to the Course Resources webpage are only available with the Challenge Package.

If the BCFSA Registrar of Mortgage Brokers has provided you with permission to challenge the course by writing the examination only, and you wish to register for the next regularly scheduled examination or a CEC examination without purchasing a Challenge Package, you should:
