• This is the key qualification required by NSW Fair Trading to apply for a  Class 2 Real Estate Licence.
• If you’re currently an Assistant Agent, this is your step to greater responsibility, independence and earning potential.
• This qualification equips you to act as a sales agent, manage property, handle trust accounts, compliance, legal documentation etc.
• It also opens pathways to more senior roles (e.g. property management, agency management, eventual Licensee in Charge).

Delivery Mode

• Online Self-Paced: Students complete the course independently through the online learning platform, progressing at their own pace within the course duration. Learning materials, assessments and support are available online.  

• Virtual (Trainer-Led): Students attend live online classes facilitated by a trainer using video conferencing software. Sessions include presentations, demonstrations, discussions and opportunities to ask questions in real time.  

• Classroom (Face-to-Face): Students attend scheduled classes at a training venue where learning is delivered by a trainer in person. Sessions include presentations, practical activities, group discussions and assessment support. 

To be eligible to enrol, learners must: 

• Be 16+ years old

Various assessment methods will be used throughout your course, including:

• Role Plays: Simulated scenarios where learners interact with clients, colleagues or stakeholders to demonstrate communication and professional skills.  

• Case Studies: Realistic industry scenarios requiring learners to analyse information and apply legislative and procedural requirements.  

• Projects: Larger assessment activities that require learners to develop workplace documents, plans or strategies. 

If you have completed relevant training, hold formal qualifications, or have gained skills and knowledge through your work experience, you may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or Credit Transfer (CT). These pathways recognise your existing competencies and may reduce the amount of training and assessment you need to complete, helping you save both time and money. Our team will discuss your previous experience and qualifications, assess your eligibility, explain the evidence requirements, and guide you through the application process from start to finish.
