Please be aware that if you registered for the Certificate of Registration Course prior to 1 June 2009, and later completed it but did not register with NSW Fair Trading, that your Statement of Attainment issued will no longer be accepted by NSW Fair Trading.
This is a result of NSW Fair Trading releasing new Certificate of Registration units, and the transition period for individuals to move from the old to the new units expiring effective 1 January 2011.
Should you wish to continue your studies in real estate, you will now be required to complete the new course requirements.
For more information on the transitional arrangements, please visit the NSW Fair Trading website. |
