Pre-Licensing Course Application

The PEI Real Estate Association, in collaboration with Holland College, has developed a newly improved Real Estate Pre- Licensing course that better prepares students for a career as a Real Estate Salesperson. Unless already licensed in another Canadian Province, anyone looking to become a Licensed Salesperson will have to successfully complete this course. Licensed in another jurisdiction? See our Non-Resident Package.

Delivered by Holland College using a blended learning method of in-class and Online lessons, students will be expected to attend all in-class lessons and complete all Online lessons to be eligible to write the final exam. You will also be expected to complete a final exam with a pass mark of 75%.

The Real Estate Prep Course must be completed before applying for the Pre-Licensing Course. Applications without a Real Estate Prep Course Certificate of Completion will be deemed incomplete and will not be accepted.
