Course 2: Facilitated Review Session (FRS)

In Course 2 Facilitated Review Sessions (FRS), learners, under the guidance of a program facilitator, will spend 21-hours covering complex topics from Course 2 eLearning modules. The Course 2 FRS will provide enhanced learning opportunities beyond the e-learning material to support learner success. Learners will apply knowledge and skills gained from the eLearning portion of the program and engage in enhanced discussions relating to Residential Real Estate Transactions.

Topics include, but are not limited to, agency, making closing adjustments, mortgage essentials, using the direct comparison approach, advertising your listings, typical clauses and conditions used in a Residential Agreement of Purchase and Sale, and dealing with competing and counteroffers.

FRS are an excellent opportunity for those seeking additional program facilitator support and is available as a non-mandatory component to Course 2.
