PRA™ Curriculum

What to Expect

Throughout our intensive programs, students will receive well planned, hands on instruction focusing on the real estate transaction.

During courses, students can expect:

• comprehensive training materials that build knowledge and skills;
• instruction from industry professionals with many years of experience and knowledge;
• an integrative, multidimensional approach to learning, which uses instruction, hand outs, small groups and role playing to deliver lessons;
• a detailed understanding of the rules, regulations and limitations a PRA™ must abide by;
• small class sizes allowing for an intimate and interactive experience; and
• guest speakers, including industry experts.

At the end of the training, students will receive a certificate of completion. They will also benefit from PRA™ Training’s job board, networking opportunities and ongoing support.

Graduates can expect:

• a support system and job search tools linking them to potential employers that understand the value of PRA™ Training;
• a valued career as an unlicensed Professional Real Estate Assistant;
• skills and foundational knowledge that can be applied to various facets of the industry;
• tools, templates, systems and a portfolio; and
• networking and support.

PRA™ Training courses require full attendance and participation, completion of all activities and assignments, and passing a final examination to receive a PRA™ certification of completion.

PRA™ graduates, while earning a knowledgebase for success as an unlicensed Real Estate Professional, are not licensed REALTORS^®. To become licensed, PRAs must take courses through the UBC Sauder School of Business and then write the licensing exam before applying for a license from the Real Estate Council of BC.

What You'll Take Away

Unlike a REALTOR^®, a PRA™ has the ability to choose to work stable hours, and receive consistent pay and benefits, without the risk of market peaks and valleys. Receiving a certificate of completion from PRA™ Training ensures credibility with REALTORS^® looking for fully trained staff.

Graduates typically work for a brokerage, for one or many REALTORS^® or for themselves as a freelance PRA™. The work is flexible and varied and includes database management, records management and marketing.
