2. OREA & Local Board Offerings
Local and provincial associations provide extra certifications, tech training, and market insight sessions.
3. Which Courses to Take?
Electives covering negotiation, lead generation, diversity/inclusion, and new tech are especially valuable in 2025.
4. Tracking & Planning
Track your credits through RECO’s education portal. Plan to complete electives early to avoid a last-minute scramble.
