traineeships

Real estate traineeships are for individuals who are new to real estate and wish to learn the skills of the trade in a structured apprenticeship program.

This program is based on national competency standards developed by the real estate industry. In addition to the traineeship program, all REINSW trainees will be provided with the entry level compulsory Course in Property Practice (not normally included with other traineeship programs).

Persons completing the traineeship will receive one of the following nationally recognised qualifications, depending on the program undertaken:

PRD30101 - Certificate III in Property (Real Estate)

PRD40101 - Certificate IV in Property (Real Estate)

What kind of training is provided?

The training provided for Certificate III and Certificate IV qualification is competency based. REINSW traineeships are now available to trainees located anywhere in NSW and are supported by learning materials online and via correspondence with phone and email access to real estate industry specialist trainers.

In addition to the Certificate III and Certificate IV qualification, REINSW will provide all trainees with the Course in Property Practice through our eLearning system free of charge. The Course in Property Practice is required to work in the real estate industry.

How long with the training take?

The duration of a traineeship is one year for the Certificate III qualification and two years for the Certificate IV qualification. The actual time taken will depend on the level of skill of the trainee when they enter the program, their prior learning, and the speed at which they learn and master the competencies required for a successful real estate career. Some people will take the full allocated time; others may complete the course in less time.
