In addition, the complexity around the variability of learner progression means that you may need to wait for both Exams and Simulation Sessions. A gentle reminder that once sections and waitlist(s) are full, they do not appear on the registration system.

In keeping with the process described above, it is important to note that new sections for Simulation Session will open on a continuous basis, always complying with resource and timeline considerations. If learners notice a new section has opened, they may opt to transfer from an existing section registration to a newly opened section. However, please note that a $50 administration fee does apply to all transfers. For more information please visit the Facilitated Session Policy and the Fees, Payments & Refunds Policy.

Please also note that the program pre-requisite structure adheres to the requirements indicated by our regulatory body, and it is Humber’s responsibility to ensure compliance. Prior to registering in any given Course, Exam, or Simulation Session, learners must successfully complete the corresponding pre-requisite. For example, before registering in Exam 1, a learner must successfully complete Course 1. Similarly, before registering in Course 2, a learner must pass Exam 1; and so on.

We hope that the above scheduling insights will help build understanding that there may be ‘buffer’ time required between program elements while keeping in mind the pre-requisite structure. Please see the Real Estate Salesperson Program Path for more information about program progression.

Lorem Ipsum 3 is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
