Launch your Real Estate Career!
Before you can start work in a sales, property management or client service position (where you give advice or information about property) in a real estate agency you must be the holder of a Queensland Real Estate Certificate of Registration.
The Certificate of Registration is issued by the Office of Fair Trading to applicants of good character, and have successfully completed the registration course. You can find more information about the requirements on the Queensland Fair Trading website.
Our course has been developed by industry leading experts to ensure that you are fully equipped to start your real estate career, and provides you with a thorough explanation of industry concepts and agency practice standards.
The Registration Certificate course comprises seven units of competency.
