As an online course I found that if I needed support (by phone) it was an easy matter of booking a spot. The staff were all approachable and helpful. The booklets are easy to follow. The course requires 100% pass mark so it means going back to the drawing board for every mistake no matter how small. Allow time for this, as marking is not necessarily immediate. The multiple choice questions were straight forward. The practice questions required the filling out of contracts online, access to forms through realworks, and the uploading of files. The more competent one is with a computer, the easier that will be. Any glitches I personally had were sorted without drama so on that basis I would recommend this Certificate IV course which covers both sales and property management. I also now get one year free Registration to REIQ so that's an added bonus too.
