FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Every day, more people decide to take a real estate course in Vancouver and become real estate agents. Are you also thinking of switching careers? If so, you might want to look at some of the most common questions people ask!
Licensing to be a Real Estate Agent
Q: What schools are certified to provide real estate pre-licensing courses in Greater Vancouver?
The only certified location in the Vancouver, lower mainland area is the Sauder School of Business in University of British Columbia. Other schools exist to help prepare you for the real estate course, but you must pass UBC’s program to become a Real Estate Agent in British Columbia, except certain exemptions.
Q: What are the requirements to qualify?
To receive a real estate license in Greater Vancouver or in British Columbia, Canada, generally, you must:
- Be at least 19 years old, and
- Be of good character / reputation, and
- Be legally eligible to work in British Columbia, and
- Satisfy the English Language Proficiency Requirement: CELPIP-G or University Degree where English is the primary language of instruction, and
- Complete the UBC courses and pass the final exam
Q: Can someone with a criminal record get a real estate license?
All applicants will have to submit to a criminal background check and are also expected to disclose any convictions as part of the application process. Having a criminal record does not necessarily prevent real estate licensing. We recommend that you verify with the Regulator, Real Estate Council of British Columbia.
However, many classes of crimes – such as financial fraud – may be used to declare an applicant unfit to receive a license.
Q: Do I need to choose a real estate brokerage?
Yes! To be a licensed real estate agent, you will need to choose a brokerage to work with, and one which is willing to have you. This brokerage will be responsible to train you and supervise your licensing activities.
You will want to make time to visit and talk with brokerages in the area.
Not sure which ones to pick? Contact Quick Pass Master.
Q: Can I also become a real estate broker(managing broker)?
Not at first. (Being a real estate managing broker is different from being an agent.) You have to have at least two years’ recent experience as a real estate agent and complete a separate broker’s licensing course at UBC Sauder.

Q: What is Quick Pass Master?
Quick Pass Master provides tutorial programs that help you prepare for the UBC real estate pre-licensing exams, so you can pass as quickly as in a few weeks.
The UBC real estate pre-licensing exams are tough because of the large volume in knowledge you have to learn, and the complexity of the concepts. You are expected to self-study and learn from textbooks with hundreds of pages on a broad range of topics. The exam questions are very tricky. Not many students can self-study to pass the exam on their own within 800 hours of studying.
The Quick Pass Master tutorial programs help you pass the exam on the first try and save you months of studying. Many of our students pass the exams in less than 200 hours of preparation and save hundreds of hours. Many students find the exams much easier after enrolling in our programs.
Q: How Does Quick Pass Master Make the Exam Easier?
