Challenge, Exemptions, and Inter-Provincial

In certain cases, course exemptions are available based on previous related experience or education. If you are currently licensed in British Columbia and wish to add a service to your licence, you are required to complete the applicable Supplemental Course and Examination. Details about course exemptions are set out in the Educational & Licensing Guidelines provided by BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA).

Only individuals who have been provided with a written confirmation of a course exemption from the BCFSA 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.

Eligible candidates should:

• Read the Challenge Package and Examination Information 
• Register online for the Challenge Package

The Real Estate Trading Services Challenge Package includes course materials in electronic format only (e.g. course manual eBook, online assignments and answers). Hardcover manuals and calculators are sold separately. Candidates should be aware that it is their responsibility to learn the latest material. If you purchased a hardcover Course Manual along with your Challenge Package, the hardcover manual should arrive within approximately ten business days of registration. The recommended calculator for examinations based on the current material is the Hewlett Packard 10BII+. 

Inter-provincial candidates (those wishing to transfer their licence from another province/territory to British Columbia) should visit the BC Financial Services Authority's Jurisdiction webpage for information.
