There's been a bit of confusion as the Humber courses start because the course and exam scheduling follows a more traditional College structure than previously used for OREA exams. Here's what you need to know:
- Each Humber real estate course has a definitive course completion time. For example, the first course Real Estate Essentials has a ten-week (previously two-week) completion time, which means you must complete the online course in ten weeks.
- Once you complete a course you can then schedule your exam. This date is completely flexible and can be any date you choose, keeping in mind that you must complete the entire program in 24 months.
- Access to course materials remains open after completion of the course so you can properly review and prepare for the exam in a timeframe suitable for your schedule.
We recommend not rushing to challenge your exam too quickly as each attempt is $100, and after two failed attempts you must re-purchase and re-take the entire course. For those looking for companion exam prep study materials, you may not want to rush your exam date as Passit Guides for the new Humber Real Estate Salesperson Program are currently in development, with the first guide for Real Estate Essentials anticipated in the latter part of October.
Ahhh thanks for the post, I rushed through Course 1 thinking I'd have to show for my exam right after and wouldn't still have access to the course.
Same here. Had to screenshot all slides knowing that I wont be able to finish them all before due date.
We think many people are getting rushed at the due date and concerned about what happens when they finish the course. Don't worry - you'll still have access to the course materials so you can return and study. When signing into your Learner Portal the course will no longer be under "My Current Courses", it is moved to "My Enrollment History". You can then access it just as you did prior to your course deadline and can schedule your exam once you're ready.
It’s a shame that they didn’t explain this explicitly. That “due date“ could be very misleading and confusing.
I did the exact same
I also am guilty of this! Pretty frustrating but I guess these are the growing pains of the first crew going through the new program. Lesson learned!
I will be waiting to book my first exam until AFTER I can purchase the Passit study guides. Hopefully they’ll be ready by Late October.
Can we wait for the pass it to be available before booking out first exam? Or is there a specific deadline when the exam should be taken by?
The exam date is completely flexible and can be any date you choose, keeping in mind that you must complete the entire program in 24 months. You won't be able to start the next course until your exam has been successfully completed.
Ok thank you .
Can we go through all the pre-registration courses (course 1 - 5) first and then attempt for their exams may be next year when available locally in the area ? I might be travelling and wont be available in person for the exams. Is that possible since we 24 months to complete the whole course and exams can we given anytime ?
Hi Huze, our understanding is that completion of each exam is a pre-requisite to progress to the next course, but you should confirm with Humber by contacting them using one of these options.
I have started course 2 which has an end date of Dec 16th. If I finish the course material prior to this will I be able to book the exam prior to Dec 16 or are they only available to book after the 16th?
Hi Kristy, once your course is complete you can book your exam anytime, though we've noted most exam availability is one week from the current date (e.g., if you wanted to schedule an exam today, the first available date will be 7 days from now).
