New Member Mandatory Training

New to the Industry?


 At AREA, we’ve listened to member feedback about enhancing support for REALTORS® entering the industry. In response, starting December 1, 2024, we introduced New Member Mandatory Training—a foundational set of courses designed to help new professionals transition confidently into their real estate careers. 

Your Learning Path Starts Here

 

*Note: Members of CREB and RAE are exempt from the last two courses.
New members are automatically enrolled at no charge in four self-paced online courses:

Engaging with Contracts

 Learn how to understand and use key contracts through case studies, videos, and interactive exercises. 

Agency Relationships

Understand the legal and ethical responsibilities in client relationships with practical examples and knowledge checks. 

*Starting Your Real Estate Business

Explore tips on incorporation, taxes, insurance, time management, and marketing through audio, video, and scenario-based learning. 

*Introduction to the Harmonized Rules
Get an overview of Alberta’s practice and MLS® listing rules through charts, blogs, and interactive elements. 

Finish Your Training to Stay Connected

 

To access the training, visit Course Catalogue and log in using your REALTOR® credentials.

Since completion is mandatory, new members must finish their training within 6 months of becoming an AREA Member. Please see the deadline dates below to determine your deadline.

Non-completion of New Member Mandatory Training will result in the suspension of access to MLS until the courses are completed.
