Apply to the Real Estate Salesperson Program

1. Learn the Requirements for Registered Real Estate Agents in Ontario

Review all the RECO requirements for becoming a real estate agent in Ontario.

Note: These requirements don’t necessarily prevent you from enrolling in our courses, but you will need to meet the criteria when registering with RECO after completing the Pre-registration Phase of the program.

2. Understand the Program’s Learning Path

Understand what courses you need and how they fit together by reviewing the program’s learning path. This will help you plan your learning schedule.

4. Gather What You Need

Before you begin your application, make sure you have the following:

  • Academic documents showing your high school education and/or English language proficiency. See acceptable documents
  • A $125 non-refundable application fee (accepted payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, Google Pay, Apple Pay)

5. Create Your Account

Create your RECO account via the RECO MyWeb portal, selecting Algonquin College as your education provider.
