Compulsory topics must be delivered by a training provider approved by the Property Services Commissioner. The list of approved providers has changed.

 

Compulsory topics must be delivered in:

  • a face-to-face interactive training environment – maximum 40 attendees, or
  • an interactive webinar – maximum 25 attendees, or
  • 10 hours of purely online training, which includes all compulsory topics applicable to the agent’s licence category and additional elective training to make up the 10 hours. Compulsory topics must be delivered by an approved CPD provider.

 

Licensees-in-charge must have all CPD training detailed in the training plan for the agency, and this may be made up of topics most relevant to you.

Assistant Agent 
There are no changes for Assistant Agents. You are still required to complete at least 3 units each CPD year from a valid Certificate IV qualification that is required for the issue of a Class 2 Agent licence.
