On behalf of the Real Estate Regulators of Canada (RERC), the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) invites you to contribute to setting national competencies for new real estate licensees by completing the Competency Profile Survey.

Real estate licensees across the country will be completing this survey. It is an excellent chance for you to let your voice be heard and to contribute to your industry on a national scale.

In Alberta, RECA's Residential Real Estate Broker Industry Council, the Commercial Real Estate Broker and Commercial Property Manager Industry Council, and the Residential Property Manager Industry Council will use your feedback to develop education course requirements.

Purpose of the competencies

RERC has developed Pan-Canadian Competencies for real estate professionals to be used across Canada by a variety of stakeholders for many purposes, including:

• Designing educational programs and examinations/assessments;
• Regulating real estate professionals at entry to their practice, re-entry to their practice and for the purposes of continuing professional development;
• Providing orientation and on-boarding of new licensees or support staff; and
• Managing performance and identifying quality assurance, continuing competency and professional development needs.

The competencies will be used by a variety of stakeholders, including regulators, educators, examiners, employers, individual real estate licensees and those seeking to practice in Canada.
