CPD Training

CPD Requirements for NSW Real Estate Professionals

In New South Wales, real estate professionals are required to complete continuing professional development (CPD) to maintain their accreditation and stay up-to-date with industry standards. NSW Fair Trading mandates that licensees and certificate holders complete 5 hours of CPD every CPD year which is 1 July through to 30th June the following year to remain compliant with the state’s regulations.

CPD activities must be relevant to your role in real estate and should cover a variety of topics, including updates to legislation, market trends, ethical practice, and professional skills development.
