QLD Estate Agents Licence FAQs
Do I get the full Certificate IV?+–
You receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the 19 units the Queensland Office of Fair Trading requires for a full agent licence. These units are drawn from the CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice and the CPP51122 Diploma of Property (Agency Management).
Is this recognised by the Queensland Office of Fair Trading?+–
Yes. The units are nationally recognised and meet the education requirement for a full real estate agent licence in Queensland.
I am already a registered salesperson, is this the right next step?+–
Yes. The licence is the upgrade from registration. It lets you operate independently, run your own agency and manage a trust account.
I have completed my salesperson registration, do those units count?+–
Yes. The units you completed for your salesperson registration may be credited towards this licence qualification through credit transfer or recognition of prior learning. This is assessed individually, so our team will review what you have done and confirm the units you still need.
How do I apply for my licence after the course?+–
You lodge your Statement of Attainment with the Queensland Office of Fair Trading, along with proof of identity and the application fee. The OFT runs a criminal history check as part of your application. Our team can point you to the next steps.
How long do I have to finish?+–
You have up to 12 months of access and most students finish sooner. It is self-paced, so you study at a pace that suits you with 24/7 access to the student portal.
Do I need experience to start?+–
No. The course is open access, though many students come from a salesperson or related background.
