Who Is This For

Is This the Right Course for You?

The QLD Real Estate Agent Licence is the full Queensland licence — it allows you to manage or operate your own real estate agency, work independently as a licensed principal, and take responsibility for a real estate business and its trust account.

If you haven't yet completed your Salesperson Registration, that is the standard first step. Speak with the Archer team to confirm the right pathway for your situation.

After You Complete

What Happens Next

Completing the course is your training step. The licence application itself is made through the relevant Queensland authority.

After completing the required training, students may need to apply for their Real Estate Agent Licence through the Queensland Office of Fair Trading / Industry Licensing Unit. Application requirements and processes can vary, so we recommend confirming the current steps with the Archer team or directly with the regulator before you enrol.

Once licensed, you can manage or operate your own real estate agency in Queensland. To maintain your licence, you'll also need to complete annual CPD training each year.

Already Have Experience in Agency Management?

If you have prior experience managing a real estate agency or relevant previous training, Recognition of Prior Learning may allow your experience to be recognised before you enrol. Worth discussing with the Archer team before you start.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the QLD Agent Licence course for?
Queensland real estate salespeople who want to upgrade to a full agent licence — allowing them to manage or operate their own agency. If you haven't yet completed your Salesperson Registration, that is typically the first step. Speak with the Archer team to confirm your pathway.
Do I need my Salesperson Registration first?
In most cases, yes — the Salesperson Registration Certificate is the standard first step in Queensland. If you already hold a registration or relevant prior qualification, call 1800 069 273 and the team will confirm your entry point for the Agent Licence course.
Can I study the course online at my own pace?
Yes — 100% online, no fixed class times or live sessions. Access materials and submit assessments through the student portal at a pace that works around your schedule, whether you're working full-time or studying more intensively.
What happens after I complete the course?
After completing the required training, you may need to apply for your Real Estate Agent Licence through the Queensland Office of Fair Trading / Industry Licensing Unit. Requirements can vary — confirm the current process with the Archer team or the regulator before enrolling.
What's the difference between a Salesperson Registration and an Agent Licence?
A Salesperson Registration allows you to work under a licensed principal — you can't run your own agency. A full Agent Licence allows you to manage or operate your own real estate agency in Queensland and work independently. See our guide: Salesperson vs Agent Licence — what's the difference? →
Can I apply for RPL?
If you have prior experience in real estate agency management or relevant prior training, RPL may allow your experience to be recognised. This is assessed case-by-case — speak with the Archer team before enrolling. Learn more about RPL →
How do I enrol?
Email info@archerinstitute.edu.au or call 1800 069 273. The Archer team will confirm your pathway and entry requirements, and walk you through the enrolment process.
Do I need CPD after I get my licence?
Yes — licensed real estate agents in Queensland need to complete annual CPD to maintain their licence. Archer Institute provides QLD CPD training at $100 per unit. View QLD CPD options →
