REIQ Traineeship

Property Managers please note: The units Fair Trading has stipulated for Registration provide salespeople a good basis of valuable knowledge to commence their careers in the industry. However, these units do not provide property managers a comparative level of knowledge about property management legislation and practice. For this reason, REIQ strongly recommends all students who intend to enter the property management field study an additional three units of competency, offered as the ‘Property Management Essentials’ two day course. “Property Management Essentials’ is run on a regular basis throughout REIQ’s training centres, and is also available by Distance Education. The course cost for ‘Property Management Essentials’ is $450 for members and $500 for non members.

Further information A summary of Employability Skills developed through the full Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) qualification as well as a copy of the REIQ Student Handbook containing information on REIQ’s policies, procedures and fees can be viewed on the REIQ website at reiq.com.

Career option: Property manager How do I become a property manager?

To act as a property manager in Queensland, you must be registered with Fair Trading. To be eligible for this registration you must be at least 18 years of age and working for a licensed real estate agent.

It is unlawful under the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 to work for a real estate agency as a property manager and not be registered. This is because people performing property management functions come within the definition of salespeople under the Act. To become registered you will need to complete seven units of competency stipulated by Fair Trading.

The REIQ Registration course contains the compulsory seven competencies required for registration, namely CPPDSM4080A, CPPDSM4009B, CPPDSM4008A, CPPDSM4012A, CPPDSM4022A, CPPDSM4010A and CPPDSM4015B. The REIQ Registration course is a four day program encompassing all of the above competencies.

Successful completion of this course will entitle you to apply for your Registration certificate.

A full course outline on this program can be obtained from Professional Development or your local REIQ Training Centre.

REIQ’s ‘Property management essentials’ and ‘Property management Block’ are two additional courses which are designed for those students wishing to enter the property management field. REIQ strongly recommends all property management students who enrol in the Registration Course also enrol in ‘Property Management Essentials’ in order to maximise their knowledge of legislation and practice relevant to property management.

If you don’t have experience in real estate, but wish to pursue a career in property management, you may like to consider undertaking a property management traineeship.

Many agencies use this scheme to employ people new to the industry as it provides them financial incentives as well as a structured and tailored training plan for their new recruits. Information on traineeships is also available from REIQ Professional Development or your local REIQ training facility.

Please note that if you have previously completed PRDRE units from the Property Development and Management Training Package (PRD01), these units are still accepted for registration and licensing purposes.

If you have completed any prior real estate training or if you have experience in the industry, you may be eligible to apply for RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning). If you would like more information on this option, please refer to the REIQ RPL Information sheet or contact Professional Development on 3249 7347 or your local REIQ training centre.

Future career progression The REIQ Registration course will give you seven credits towards a full real estate agent’s licence. A full licence is required if you want to own or manage a real estate agency. Property managers may choose to specialise in commercial and industrial property management or move into management rights.

The REIQ runs specialist programs and traineeships in these areas.

REIQ also offers a wide range of programs designed to meet the special requirements of various industry sectors.

Career option: Licensed agent Why obtain a full licence?

A real estate agent licence is a mandatory requirement under the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act to own or manage a real estate agency in Queensland.

However, many salespeople and resident unit managers also obtain a full licence for a number of valid reasons. Holding a full agent’s licence provides salespeople a substantial ‘point of difference’ in their marketplaces. Resident unit managers often seek to hold a full licence to provide further revenue producing opportunities to negotiate the sale of units as well as looking after the property management.

How do I become a licensed real estate agent?

The Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 requires that a person wishing to obtain a full real estate agent’s licence complete recognised competency units of the Property Services Training Package CPP07, through a registered training organisation. The REIQ delivers this training throughout 7

REIQ Traineeship

Queensland. This course consists of the 19 competencies as listed on the PAMD Form 1.1 (the real estate agents licensing application form from The Department of Justice and Attorney-General). The application form and accompanying notes can be downloaded from the government website, www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au When in the site, hover over ‘Property agents and managers’ then click on ‘Property agent forms’. You will need a PAMD Form 1.1 for licensing purposes.

The course competencies are assessed using written assessments. Once competency is achieved for all 19 competencies, the REIQ will issue a transcript of results and statements of attainment. A copy of the transcript should be attached to your licensing application.

If you have completed any prior real estate training or if you have experience in the industry, you may be eligible to apply for RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning). If you would like more information on this option, please refer to the REIQ information sheet ‘Applying for RPL’ and the

‘Guide to completing the RPL application’ or contact Professional Development on 3249 7347 or your local REIQ training centre.

Future career progression The REIQ has partnered with Griffith University and is proud to be part of the delivery of the Bachelor of Business in Real Estate and Property Development.

Anyone completing their full real estate licensing course through the REIQ will automatically be given a credit against this subject as part of the degree program.

Property degrees are also offered by other universities but these do not offer a full licence as part of the degree. This means that anyone completing a property degree such as the Bachelor of Business - Property Studies or the Bachelor of Applied Science Property Economics will still need to complete either a registration course or licensing course before being eligible to practice in the real estate industry in Queensland.

Course Fees Cross Credit

The Licence program fee is set at $2500 for non members and $2200 for members and REIQ accredited agencies. This fee reflects a substantial discount off the individual competency prices.

The VET Quality Framework requires that student fees, paid in advance, are protected. REIQ complies with this requirement by not accepting more than $1,000 prior to the commencement of studies and not more than $1,500 in advance from students at any point in the duration of their studies. This applies to students who are paying as individuals, not companies. Please note that this does not apply to courses paid for by employers.

For individuals, payment for the Full licence course must be made in 2 instalments of $1000 and $1500 (non members) or $1000 and $1200 (members). If you have any question regarding the instalment plan please contact the Professional Development department and they will be able to advise you. Your instalment plan will ensure that at no time during your study will the amount you have paid in advance of services provided exceed $1500.

The first payment is due and payable prior to commencement, and the subsequent second payment is due prior to accessing your second set of units (either in contact classes or by DE).

The REIQ reserves the right to suspend training or distance education service if payments are not made in accordance with the agreed payment plan.

REIQ Traineeship

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) The REIQ has a structured process for providing RPL to students participating in the Full Licence program. An information sheet on RPL is available that describes the process and includes an RPL application form. An application fee of $100 plus $50 per competency is required for RPL with any remaining units charged at the individual competency price.

However, in some circumstances, it may be cheaper to pay the full discounted Full Licence fee rather than the RPL fee plus the balance of competencies on the per competency price list. The REIQ undertakes to charge students the lower of the two fees to ensure that the most you will be required to pay is the full course fee.

If you have previously completed any of the competencies listed in the Full Licence program through the REIQ or any other registered training organisation, then the REIQ may provide you a cross credit, or credit transfer against these units. In some circumstances, real estate units undertaken in other states will also attract cross credit, depending of legislative content. The Professional Development team will assist you to identify these competencies where applicable.

There is no cost associated with obtaining cross credit if the full course is being undertaken. It is the student’s responsibility to supply the REIQ with full evidence of any prior qualification or statements of attainment.

Please note that there is no automatic credit transfer between the ABH curriculum and the Property Development and Management Training Package PRD01 competencies and the Property Services Training Package CPP07 competencies.

However, if you have previously studied PRDRE units, these are still accepted by Fair Trading for licensing purposes, however we advise you check with Fair Trading, www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au, as there will be a cut off date for you to apply for your licence using the PRDRE competencies.

A copy of the REIQ Student Handbook containing information on REIQ’s policies, procedures and fees is available at reiq.com.

The prescribed educational qualifications for this licence category are the successful completion or assessment of competency by a registered training organisation of six competencies from the Property Services Training Package CPP07. These are: 13

• CPPDSM4019A Prepare for auction and complete sale • CPPDSM4006A Establish and manage agency trust accounts • BSMSMB406A Manage small business finances In addition to this, you will also be required to undertake and provide evidence that you have conducted five auctions under the supervision of a licensed auctioneer whilst you were a registered trainee auctioneer.

If you are involved in any pre or post auction activity you must either hold a real estate agent licence or be registered as a salesperson.

Please note that if you have previously completed PRDRE units from the Property Development and Management Training Package (PRD01), these units are still accepted for registration and licensing purposes.

If you have completed any prior real estate training or if you have experience in the industry, you may be eligible to apply for RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning). If you would like more information on this option, please refer to the REIQ RPL Information sheet or contact Professional Development on 3249 7347 or your local REIQ training centre.

Future career progression Having an auctioneer licence will open up this field of real estate to you. It will enable you to conduct your own auctions for clients and increase your earning potential.

REIQ also offers a wide range of programs designed to meet the special requirements of various industry sectors.

In addition to the above competencies, applicants will need to complete five auctions as a trainee auctioneer under the supervision of a licensed auctioneer to finalise the application process.

If you have current experience or knowledge in this area, you may like to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Please contact Professional Development if you would like further information.

Individual competencies are priced separately for those people who only need to complete some of the competencies, and these prices are listed on the following page.

Benefits for employers and trainees What are traineeships?

Traineeships are structured training programs that allow new entrants and existing staff in the industry to undertake a combination of work and study in order to gain the skills and knowledge required to have a successful career in the industry. Real estate traineeships are 24 months in duration and require the employer and trainee to sign a training contract through an Australian Apprenticeship Centre.

Which traineeships are available through the REIQ? The REIQ offers a choice of Certificate Level IV traineeships in six streams; • Sales • Property Management • Licensing • Agency Support • Business Broking • Commercial & Industrial.

The mandatory competencies required for registration with Fair Trading are available as part of the Certificate IV traineeships provided by the REIQ. So in other words, new employees can gain the educational requirement for registration.

Prior qualifications Federal government incentives preclude trainees who have achieved a Level III certificate or higher within the previous seven years. The only exception to this is where a trainee has achieved this qualification as part of a school-based vocational program.

The Australian Apprenticeships Centre that you deal with will be able to assess your trainee’s suitability and provide further information on incentives. The REIQ does not provide advice on incentive payment eligibility.
