It is compulsory for all new entrants to the industry, who intend on performing any of the functions of a real estate agent, to hold a Certificate of Registration. The Certificate of Registration is issued by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). When applying for this certificate, the OFT requires a statement of attainment from a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) stating successful completion of the relevant Course in Property Practice.
REINSW offers this exciting course which is designed to give you the basic skills necessary to start a successful career in the real estate industry. Units of learning are presented by a team of professional trainers who are specialist property practitioners and qualified Workplace Trainers & Assessors.
During your course, you will learn to:
- Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be confident, capable and successful in listing, selling, renting and managing property.
- Understand the statutory requirements with respect to the property professional and the industrial award under which they are employed.
