This section applies only to licensed practitioners in the industry – namely salespeople, branch managers and agents.
REAL ESTATE AGENTS AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION – 2015 The REAA has introduced compulsory continuing education (CE) to ensure that all licensees meet the highest professional standards. During the 2015 calendar year, licensed real estate practitioners will need to complete 10 hours of verifiable CE and 10 hours of non-verifiable CE. You will need evidence of completion of both when you re-license in 2016. The Open Polytechnic is one of the organisations authorised to provide verifiable CE.
EXEMPTION If you have completed a National Certificate or National Diploma you are exempt from CE requirements for the year in which you completed, and the following calendar year. For example, if you completed the National Certificate (Salesperson) or the Branch Manager or Agent’s qualification in 2014, you are exempt from CE in 2014 and 2015.
NON-VERIFIABLE CE Non-verifiable CE requires you to complete 10 hours of in-house or industry training, to attend relevant conferences or to undergo personal professional development. You can achieve your non-verifiable CE with Open Polytechnic by completing one real estate related unit standard.
REFRESHER TRAINING If your real estate licence is suspended for 12 months or more, you will need to do a refresher course and complete CE during the calendar year that your licence is renewed. Open Polytechnic will be offering refresher training online in 2015. Visit reaa.govt.nz for more information.
MORE INFORMATION Please contact us if you have any questions. See the inside back cover of this brochure for contact details.
CE FOCUS FOR 2015 The verifiable continuing education topic for 2015 is ‘The Law of Agency.’ You will find more information at openpolytechnic.ac.nz/realestate as it becomes available or you can visit reaa.govt.nz
RECORD-KEEPING If you choose Open Polytechnic as your CE provider, we will hold records of your verified CE that you complete with us. You will need to submit this information to the REAA when you re-license.
VERIFIABLE CE Verifiable CE requires you to complete a 10-hour online course or attend a two-day workshop. If you are not able to attend the full workshop, you may be able to complete some of your training online.
