So it's Back To School Then!

After more then a decade in the doldrums (not really), it's time to fire up the grey matter and get back to the hustle and bustle of school life. This time through correspondence and almost exclusively online, so no more - well, not for now anyway - late nights spent cramming at UBC's Woodward Library. Now its a fight against time, in that I have a year in which to complete the Real Estate Trading Services Licencing Course!

The plan? To have the course reading complete, all assignments submitted, AND enter the licencing exam by next summer, a little better then 6 months on. Can it be done? Surely. With an entire book filled with multiple choice ditties like:

Which of the following statements concerning disclosure statements in BC is FALSE?
1.) A disclosure statement must be provided by a developer to a buyer where an offer of sale or lease relates to a time share interest in a development unit.
2.) A disclosure statement must indicate that the purchaser has the right to rescind the purchase agreement by serving written notice of the rescission on the developer.
3.) A strata plan must be filed in the land title office or a building permit issued in relation to the strata lot before a strata lot may be offered for sale.
4.) One of the supporting documents which must accompany the disclosure statement is a certificate from a lawyer who is a member of the Law Society of BC confirming that a true copy of the disclosure statement will be delivered to the prospective purchaser or lessee.

Yawn! Add several written assignments to each chapter, and you will quickly understand my trepidation of sticking to my 6 month plan!

Will I have time to do everything I've planned for the coming year AND get my licence? That remains to be seen!

Oh, the answer by the way, is 4. But you already knew that.
