Which entity administers the licensing examination for real estate professionals in Alberta?

The Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) is the entity responsible for administering the licensing examination for real estate professionals in Alberta. RECA's role includes the regulation and oversight of the real estate profession, ensuring that practitioners meet the necessary standards to provide services in this field. This includes developing and administering the examinations that assess the knowledge and competency of individuals seeking to obtain a real estate license.

The other entities mentioned have different functions. The Alberta Real Estate Association primarily focuses on serving the interests of real estate professionals and advocating on their behalf, rather than administering licensing examinations. The Government of Alberta provides the regulatory framework and laws regarding real estate but delegates the examination process to RECA. Meanwhile, the Canadian Real Estate Association operates at a national level, supporting real estate boards across Canada and not directly involved in the provincial licensing processes. Thus, the correct answer is grounded in RECA's specific role in overseeing the licensing and examination process for real estate professionals within Alberta.
