Frequently Asked Questions

UBC provides the textbook and official exam. GOBC breaks that content down into digestible lessons, practice tests, and video guidance so it’s easier to understand and apply. In addition, we provide a clear, step-by-step structure to help you follow a logical path through the material — no guessing where to start or what to focus on. You’ll also receive support from multiple instructors with diverse teaching styles to keep you motivated and on track.

UBC Sauder Real Estate Licensing Division

UBC administers the licensing examination and the UBC real estate course is mandatory for getting your license. UBC registration is your first step. GOBC’s real estate course is a companion to the UBC course. GOBC helps you learn the UBC material and pass the exam. We make studying for the real estate exam simple, easy to follow, and fun, so everyone has the best possible chance to pass the exam.

We encourage you to TRY it before you buy it because we want you to feel completely confident about your purchase.

19 is the legal age in BC to get licensed. We have students who take our course while they are still 18, pass the exam, and then apply for their license when they turn 19. (But be careful about starting too early because you must apply for your license within one year after passing your exam.) We also have students in their 70’s who pass their exams and have a successful real estate career!

It depends ENTIRELY on you and the time you can devote to your studies. GOBC’s course is designed to be finished in 10 weeks, but this can vary depending on each individual’s schedule, commitment, and learning skills. It’s completely self-paced, and you can study at your own speed. Some students accelerate their timeline with daily study; others take longer with part-time effort. We also modify our course anytime UBC modifies theirs, so this is subject to change over time.

Absolutely. This is the MOST popular option among GOBC students because of the flexibility and the option to watch your favourite instructor.

The program is designed to be effective no matter which options you choose, so you can choose what works best for your individual needs.

Please note that online access is restricted to Canada only. The course materials cannot be accessed outside of the country.

Most of our students work or have other commitments alongside studying for the exam and love having a flexible study schedule with online access 24/7.

Each of our online videos are available with multiple instructors. You can choose to follow the style you understand best or you can do a mix and match of multiple instructors. Those who enroll in Live Zoom classes will also have access to their zoom instructor(s) to ask questions.

To get more support, you can upgrade to live Zoom classes and ask your questions during class. You can upgrade and add the live Zoom classes to your account at any time during the first 10-weeks of the course.

No, those questions will be given to you in a quiz format to practice with as well as select UBC assignment questions. Plus, you’ll get HINTS for each quiz question which explain why each option is correct or incorrect.

GOBC was the FIRST School in BC to offer payment plans + Zero interest! 
At GOBC, we care about our students and want to make it affordable to everyone!

Your course prepares you! If you follow our study plan, learn the material, and complete everything in your course then you will be well prepared for your exam. The momentum builds during your course and the mock exams are the final step to REALLY prepare you for your exam day! You will have access to the end-of-course mock exams that prepare you to sit for the UBC exam. This is one of the best parts of the GOBC course.

Our team is committed to keeping our mock exams as up-to-date and relevant as possible – this is the key to our high success rate. Questions are often worded differently on the UBC exams, but we teach you how to read the question carefully, understand what it’s asking, and use your course knowledge to answer confidently. That way, no matter how it’s worded, you’ll know how to answer.

Yes! Many of our students have finished the entire course in way less than 16 weeks but it depends on you and how much time you can devote to your studies.

We’re proud of the fact that GOBC has the highest passing rate in the industry! We can’t guarantee success on the exam (since we can’t control each individual’s level of commitment), but we have seen time and time again that students who follow our system and do the work pass the exam on the first try.

Absolutely! The program is effective for students at all stages of course study. UBC requires you to wait for 3 months after your failed attempt, which is a perfect opportunity to start the GOBC course and be ready to pass the exam when it’s time!

If you follow the Study Plan that we provide, you will finish before 16 weeks. But Life happens and sometimes even 16 weeks is not enough. Extensions are available to current students who want to keep access to the full course for a longer period of time. This way, you can keep studying right up to the date of your exam, even if life gets in the way.

We care for our students’ success before AND after passing the exam. And with over 20 years of teaching in this industry, we’ve created the best connections with top brokerages and teams across the Province. After passing the exam, our GOBC students will get access to a FREE GOBC COURSE which provides you with guidance on how to get started and what you need to do (plus more!) to help you confidently take your first steps in your exciting new career.

After passing the UBC exam, you’ll apply to the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) to become licensed. GOBC also helps prepare you for next steps, like choosing a brokerage and understanding day-one requirements in the field.

The UBC Real Estate Trading Services Exam is a multiple-choice exam based on the textbook and course material provided by UBC. It consists of 100 questions, and you must score at least 70% to pass.
