Those wishing to be a real estate associate but not conduct property management activities do not need to complete the Introduction to a Career in Property Management.
Phase 3 of the Real Estate Associates Program contains some material that is no longer up to date. In the past, AREA has developed and delivered this program on behalf of the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA), although RECA has always approved the content.
Currently, the Real Estate Associates Program is in transition and the development and delivery is moving from AREA to RECA. As the transition proceeds, RECA will revise and enrich the current content.
