What is an Upgrade Course?

An Upgrade Course is simply studying the additional Units of Competency that you need to reach the next level of real estate licensing requirements.

There are many reasons why people wish to upgrade their real estate qualifications.

Very often, people like to start with their Registration Certificate and upgrade to their full Real Estate Agent Licence once they have had time in the real estate industry and have decided that it is a good career choice for them.

Whether you are wanting to upgrade to start your own agency or simply to increase your knowledge and professional development, Validum Institute is the right training institute for you.

Course Duration

You have up to 6 months to complete this course, starting from the day we send you your login details.
