This qualification is for estate agents
Achieving this marks you out as a qualified, professional estate agent. Certification involves passing exams for four units but these are designed to support and complement the development of those already working day-to-day in the sector. The learning framework focuses on laws governing residential property and land transactions and established practice around the buying process.
This qualification also crucially provides an entry point for your professional body membership which in turn gives you post nominal letters that advertise your individual professional credibility.
