Are you looking at obtaining your real estate licence in QLD? Would you like to open your own agency?

Kaplan Professional’s online QLD Real Estate Licensing Program is ideal if you wish to obtain your real estate licence or further your real estate knowledge. It provides you with in-depth knowledge, including:

• Property appraisals
• Property sales
• Rental management of investment properties
• Trust accounting
• Managing finance and agency staff

Successful completion awards a Statement of Attainment for 19 prescribed units from the Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) CPP40307 Training package which meets the educational requirements for application to QLD Office of Fair Trading for a Real Estate Licence.

For more information, please refer to the course outline.

Benefits for you:

Many employees in real estate only do the registration level training (entry level) and continue to work for several years with only this training. As an employee, having completed a real estate licensing course may lead to better chances of promotion within an agency, including employment as a licensee or manager of the agency.

With your own licence, you can take up business opportunities such as opening your own real estate business, or operate your ‘own business within a business’ to manage the rent roll of an agency (i.e. management of a portfolio of rental properties).

Clients will be able to see that you’re qualified, knowledgeable and committed to your profession.

Real Estate can be a very busy and stressful job at times. Being able to study online, in your own time, without the need to attend face-to-face classes, can relieve some of this pressure. With the flexibility of this online course, you can prioritise your time and work at your own pace.
