The Pre-Registration Learning Path outlines the first phase of the Real Estate Salesperson Program, developed by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO). Learners must complete this first phase before applying for registration with RECO. Get started here with the Pre-Registration Phase and complete the courses, exams and simulation sessions sequentially as shown below. You will have a maximum of 24 months to complete the entire pre-registration phase.

Simulation Session 1
Residential Real Estate Transactions
Overview
In this simulation session, learners will spend 5 days practicing core activities and tasks related to residential real estate transactions with an experienced real estate professional acting as a coach. The simulation and related assessments will work through all stages of a typical residential transaction and will cover various property types (for example, single-family homes and condominiums).
Simulation Sessions
Simulation sessions enable learners to apply their knowledge to real-life scenarios. In a structured and interactive classroom environment requiring mandatory attendance, learners will receive coaching and support from facilitators who are expert industry professionals. Responding to an industry ask to gain realistic, real-world experience, build confidence and prepare to enter the profession, the simulations were developed with input from experienced brokers and salespeople and experts in learning and development.
Prerequisite
- Exam 3: Invigilated Theory Exam
Attendance
Facilitated sessions are mandatory, and learners are expected to attend on all days and to arrive on time. For more details about attendance requirements, learners can refer to the Attendance Policy.
Important Information on Scheduling
We monitor learner demand daily and add sessions in keeping with resource and timeline considerations. Scheduling decisions involve, for example, the advanced planning for the real estate professionals who have been carefully selected as your facilitators. In addition, the complexity around the variability of learner progression means that you may need to wait for Simulation Sessions.
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 Registration Policy.
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.
