About the Certificate

Many students enrolling in this program possess substantial work experience in the industry. However, they must demonstrate their competence in the qualifications specified by the new act. For such learners, the ideal pathway is the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route, which offers several advantages. Notably, it requires less time in the classroom and is more cost-effective. To embark on this pathway, learners should have at least 6 months of relevant work experience and must be self-motivated. Previously, completing the qualification was restricted to those already employed by a Real Estate agency, making it challenging for new candidates to enter the industry.

To address this, we now offer the opportunity for learners to study with us even if they are not currently 
employed, while we arrange part-time internships to provide practical experience. Our classes are presented online, featuring live sessions facilitated by industry experts. Upon successful completion, you will graduate with a Further Education and Training Certificate in Real Estate.

Upon completion of the Estate Agent Qualification, learners will gain proficiency in the following areas:
1.  Analyzing, evaluating, and applying the Real Estate Code of Conduct and Ethics.
