When I hold a current Certificate of Registration as an Assistant Agent, do I need to complete any statutory training or CPD each year?

Yes, it’s a legal requirement to complete at least 3 units from the CPP41419 – Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice each year between the 23rd of March and the 22nd of March the following year (before you renew your licence or certificate).

I can find this course cheaper elsewhere. What is the difference?

The course fee and your budget is an important part of your decision criteria. We believe the race to the bottom on price has meant a lowering of standards from training companies delivering courses.

The biggest complaint in the training industry is a lack of service and information. We strive to deliver a unique, engaging online experience that is beyond what other training organisations offer. We are real estate people with industry experience. We care about real knowledge transfer, so it’s important for us to commit to best practice and service.
