Conference and
Training Guide
Winter/Spring 2015
New for 2015
Several continuing education training
sessions are accredited by the OACIQ
Updated on April 29, 2015
A NEW YEAR, MANY NEW CONFERENCES!
The GMREB is pleased to present the winter/spring 2015 edition of its Conference and
Training Guide. This guide includes all of the training activities offered by the GMREB,
its groups and its Centris® division. New training sessions and conferences, revealing
everything you need to know about condominium transactions, home staging,
photography, the effective use of our economists’ statistics and more, are
complemented by learning activities that are returning at the request of new
members.
Several training sessions provide CEUs!
The GMREB is pleased to feature several training sessions whose content has been
accredited by the OACIQ, which means you are entitled to receive continuing
education units (CEUs).*
We have also simplified the consultation of this guide by including a table of contents
that is divided into 4 categories of activities: conferences presented by the GMREB
Groups, training sessions presented by the GMREB, training on Centris® tools, as well as
networking events and activities. By clicking on the activity that interests you, you will
receive all of the event’s details and a Register button will lead directly to the
registration page.
We hope that these new conferences and training sessions will meet your learning
and networking needs, and will help you grow your business!
Feel free to email us at membreservices@gmreb.qc.ca if you have any comments or
suggestions.
* The OACIQ’s new Continuing Education Program requires brokers to obtain,
over a two-year period, 18 continuing education units, including a minimum of
6 core content CEUs.
Although the official period for accumulating CEUs extends from May 1, 2015,
to April 30, 2017, all CEUs earned since November 3, 2014, will count towards
your training program.
