Upcoming changes to the course
The Units of Competency (Units) in this course are from the CPP40307 Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) qualification. This qualification is being replaced on 20 March 2020.
Until further notice, the current Units will continue to be recognised by the Queensland Office of Fair Trading (OFT) as the educational requirement for a real estate license or registration.
Students have until 19 March 2020 to complete this course under the current Units. If you have not completed your course by this date, we will transition you (at no extra cost, and with a free extension if needed) to the new Units required by the OFT.
If you are enrolling into the course now, you do not need to do anything different – work on your course with the aim to completing it as soon as you can.
