Private mortgage lending is complex. This course helps Alberta mortgage brokers build the specialized knowledge and practical skills they need to structure responsible private deals, protect consumers, and stay compliant with RECA’s mandatory relicensing requirements.
Online Course
$229
This course is designed for licensed Alberta mortgage brokers who are renewing their license through RECA.
You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how private lending works, including lender types, deal structures, and funding sources. The course also covers key regulatory requirements.
You’ll learn how to assess borrower suitability and lender risk, develop effective exit strategies, and identify common red flags to help prevent fraud and protect all parties involved in a private lending transaction.
Private lending is a high-risk area that requires strong compliance, ethical practices, and risk management. RECA now requires this course as part of the relicensing process for brokers who have worked with—or intend to work with—private lenders.
You’ll have 4 months of access from the day you register. If you need more time, a one-time 2-month extension is available for $75 + GST.
The course is fully online and self-paced. You can work through it on your own schedule using our interactive learning platform.
Each module includes knowledge checks and a short text. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass each test.
Because this course is mandatory for relicensing, it does not qualify for additional CEUs.
