• Yes. It is very common for new Realtors® to split time between their current job and their new profession.
• Once they establish a solid client base and increase their real estate income, they shift permanently into their new role as a Realtor®.

We believe in planning ahead and proper preparation, therefore the following 2 prerequisites apply:

1. You must be registered for the UBC real estate course.
2. IF you do NOT meet the BCFSA English proficiency requirement, and you are NOT fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in English you MUST pass the CELPIP-General English Language exam before starting our classes. But, if you are fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in English you can enroll in our classes and write the CELPIP-General later.

We have these requirements in place so you can focus on your real estate course studies without distractions.
