Course Description
Fundamentals of Real Estate (FRE) is your first step to prepare for RECA’s Fundamentals of Real Estate licensing exam. This course will solidify your understanding of the history of real estate and the competencies and skills required of real estate associates in Alberta. Learn through flexible, self-paced units that integrate comprehensive written content with real-life case studies based on the RECA-defined learning outcomes and real estate competencies.
Each unit incorporates interactive knowledge checks to test your retention and understanding of key concepts relevant to the Fundamentals of Real Estate licensing exam; these culminate in self-assessment practice quizzes every three units that simulate RECA exam-style questions. Learners must pass these practice quizzes to complete the course and demonstrate thorough review of the provided learning materials.
Throughout the course, learners can contact a course patron, an industry expert from the Commercial Real Estate Association (NAIOP), Calgary Chapter, who can answer content questions or further explain challenging concepts.
