Residential Real Estate Brokerage

To obtain a license to practice as a Residential Real Estate Broker in Québec, candidates must successfully complete a basic training recognized by the OACIQ, the regulatory body that oversees the Real Estate industry in Quebec. They must then write an exam* with the OACIQ. The ultimate goal of this AEC is to prepare graduates to successfully write the Real Estate Broker licensing exam with the OACIQ*.

The OACIQ, has established seven (7) competencies which new Residential Real Estate Brokers should have developed and mastered in order to act ethically and responsibly in their real estate brokerage practice. The licensing exam has been designed based on this competency framework:

1. Acting ethically and responsibly in one’s brokerage practice
2. Managing one’s professional activities in the field of real estate
3. Making use of general and special rules of law in brokerage transactions
4. Assessing the quality and the various building elements of an immovable
5. Estimating the market value of a residential immovable
6. Carrying out brokerage transactions pertaining to the sale, purchase, leasing or exchange of a residential immovable
7. Distinguishing the basic principles of mortgage financing

This AEC (Attestation of Collegial Studies) program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to demonstrate that they have attained these competencies.

*The OACIQ licensing exam may be written in English or French. Those who choose to write the exam in English will be required to prove French language competency** before they are issued their license, as per the regulations.
*OACIQ exam fees are not included.
