      The requirements include:

      • Meeting the prescribed educational requirements – The REIV agents’ representative course fulfils this requirement and a Statement of Attainment is evidence of this. 

      • Being of minimum age.

      • Not having a disqualifying criminal record.

  • What language, literacy and numeracy skills will I need to achieve success in the course?

    • Class activities and/or assessment is likely to include the following:

      • Roleplay – this will require the ability to communicate confidently in the English language (verbal).

      • Calculations, these will include the ability to calculate commission and to add, or exclude, the GST component of a dollar amount (all using percentage calculations).

      Prospective students, who are concerned about their current skills and abilities to complete any or all of these example activities should discuss their needs with an REIV enrolment officer prior to enrolling in the course. 

  • What will I be awarded at the completion of the course?

    • Students will be assessed to ensure that they are able to demonstrate competency as required by each of the three units within the course.

      Written assessment tasks will be completed and submitted by students. When a student has been assessed as meeting the requirements of each of the three units in the course, the REIV is able to issue a Statement of Attainment.

  • Who will be training me?

    • The REIV only employs trainers and assessors who have extensive real estate experience and are well positioned to use their industry knowledge to enhance your learning.
