We recommend you switch to different computer or mobile device if you have difficulty running the course even if the System Checker confirms your computer or mobile device meets the minimum system requirements. Note that the System Checker can only confirm if your operating system and browser are sufficient to run the course. It cannot confirm if other important items, like your internet connection or hardware, are capable of running the course smoothly.

The Brokerage you are working for will begin the licencing process. You will have to provide them your myRECA username. They will then use their brokage myRECA account to initiate your application. Once this is started, log back in to your myRECA account and fill out the balance of your application. When it is accepted by the broker and your fees are paid you are registered, licenced and may begin work!

Check your licence status in the licence tab of your myRECA account. It should indicate you are authorized and show what sectors are on your licence (for real estate). (tutorial)
