Overview

Individuals requiring access to the Alberta Personal Property Registration Electronic System (APPRES) or Corporate Registry System (CORES) are required to complete an eLearning course or exam.

Successful completion of an eLearning course or accreditation exam does not guarantee access to Government of Alberta Registries systems. To use your accreditation access for APPRES or CORES, you must:

  • be employed with a business that has a valid Registries Online agreement
  • be employed at a Registry Agent office

Exams are only available from 9 am to 11:59 pm MT on the day they are booked. You will not be allowed extra time if you start your exam without enough time to complete it before the end of your booked exam day.
