Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice

The nationally recognised qualification for real estate sales and property management. Already working at an agency? Get it through Recognition of Prior Learning: your experience is assessed against the units, with no study required.

Overview

A qualification for the agency work you already do

The Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice covers the core work of an agency: appraising, listing and selling property, leasing and managing rentals, and working with buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants within real estate law and trust account rules. If you’ve been working in sales or property management, Recognition of Prior Learning lets an assessor from our partner RTO check your experience against each unit, with no classes to attend. Your free consult comes first, so you know whether you’re eligible before you pay anything.

FAQ

Common questions

How much experience do I need for RPL?

It depends on the work you’ve done and how closely it matches the units. Appraising, listing, selling or leasing property, managing a rent roll, running inspections and handling tenancy paperwork at an agency all count. Your free eligibility check tells you where you stand before you pay anything.

How long does the RPL assessment take?

The whole process takes about 2–3 weeks, from your eligibility check to the assessor’s decision. Once your eligibility is confirmed you enrol and pay in person, and having your evidence ready early keeps it moving.

What counts as evidence?

Usually your resume, a reference letter from a supervisor or employer, proof of identity and your USI. Examples like appraisals, listing or tenancy documents you’ve prepared and inspection reports help too, with clients’ details removed. Your advisor will tell you exactly what your assessor needs.
