Real Estate Training FAQs

How are students supported to complete their course?

We offer personalised one-on-one student support sessions which are included in your course fees. Students can schedule a call back during office hours, or submit the question in writing by completing the Student Support Form – Able to be accessed here.

Do you offer custom private tutoring?

What equipment do I need to undertake the course?

  • A computer to access online learning materials and undertake online assessments.
  • Internet access for research, submitting online assessment items, and email for communication purposes and tutor assistance.
  • A Unique Student Identifier (USI) that can be obtained at www.usi.gov.au

What experience do the course trainers have?

Our trainers and assessors have at least 15 years' experience in the real estate industry and are selected for their expertise and their ability to convey their skills and knowledge to students. The REIQ prides itself on providing up-to-date information, quality materials and comprehensive support to students undertaking their study with us. All REIQ training and assessment is developed by industry trainers in consultation with REIQ members and specialists in the subject area. All materials are regularly updated to ensure that REIQ’s training is meeting the needs of an ever-changing real estate profession.

What happens after I complete the course?

Depending on your chosen course, the REIQ will issue you a Statement of Attainment at the successful completion of the program. If the program is accredited and meets the licence or registration requirement, the Statement of Attainment can be provided to the Office of Fair Trading as part of the application process to apply for the relevant licensing to enter the real estate industry.

No degree required!

Unlike other professions, you don’t need to study for three years plus at University to get started. And with a price tag starting at $900, it’s a lot more affordable than Uni too.

One course = many opportunities

I recently completed my Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice - Full License and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. One of the standout features was the lightning-fast assessment reviews, which allowed me to progress efficiently. The course content was top-notch, offering a wealth of valuable resources for students. The material was well-structured, making it easy to follow and absorb. Our facilitator, Kellie Blanch, was exceptional, weaving real-life experiences into the lessons as insightful examples. The user-friendly student platform made navigating the course a breeze. Overall, the high quality of this course made it a truly enriching and rewarding journey.

The course facilitator, Rob Honeycombe was great. He used plenty of real-life experiences and real-world examples to help ground the course in reality. The course work was a little challenging at times but I managed to work through it all fine - support is always available for those who need it and I found Jeff Irvine from REIQ Student Support to be both helpful and encouraging. You are given 6 months to complete the assessments however, I managed to complete the course work in a little over 6 weeks. This was while working so would likely be shorter for those who are studying the course full time. In summary, I had a great experience all 'round and I can't wait to get started in my new real estate career! Thanks, REIQ!

The REIQ and all there staff are absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful. As of today I have just completed my Cert IV in Real Estate Practice and could not be happy with the service that was provided from our amazing training who provided face to face support and introduction into the assessment, to the markers who were very prompt with returning assessment even going as far to mark my final assessment earlier and the lovely ladies from the REIQ support from the email support to the phone calls was such a help. Highly recommend
