What is accredited training and why does it matter for real estate?
Accredited training is nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and completion of full or partial qualifications is required by state and territory regulators for licensing. Completing accredited training ensures your training meets the quality requirements that govern Vocational Education and Training (VET) delivered by all training providers in Australia. Meeting these requirements means that your qualification is valid, transferable, and recognised by employers and industry. Components of accredited training are required to obtain a license to work in many real estate roles.
Why do I need a licence in real estate?
In all states and territories, you must hold a valid real estate licence or registration to legally work in the industry in key roles. Holding a license ensures that you have completed the training and assessment needed to understand the technical side of the business, like legislation, trust accounting, contracts and professional obligations including ethics.
Without a license, you cannot represent sellers or buyers in buying, selling, leasing or managing property, conducting auctions, in commercial or residential transactions, to work in strata, or for buying and selling stock. It is a legal offence to work in those roles without a licence.
State and territory regulators require licences to protect consumers, ensure ethical conduct, and maintain professional standards across the sector.
Which training course do I need to become a licensed real estate agent?
That depends on the role in your agency (or future agency) and the state or territory that you live in. In most states and territories you begin with some, or all, of the Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419) to work as an agent’s representative or salesperson. To become a fully licensed real estate agent you may need to complete the full Certificate IV. To become a principal, you may need to complete a Diploma of Property Management (Agency Management) (CPP51122).
You can visit the website of your state and territory licensing body to check what license you need, or chat with our enrolment team who will help to ensure you enrol in the course that is right for you.
How long does accredited real estate training take to complete?
Course duration varies depending on how it is delivered (self-paced or combined with workshops) and your prior experience, and how motivated and committed you are to your studies. Some learners complete in a few months, while others take 12-18 months or more. The focus should always be on quality outcomes, not shortcuts.
Under the Hammer has trained thousands of students, and we can assure you that the students who participate in support workshops complete their studies more quickly than those who don’t.
Do I need to be employed in real estate to do the course?
No, you don’t need to be working in real estate to start an accredited real estate course. Many people start and even complete their Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (CPP41419) or other accredited qualifications before applying for jobs or applying for a real estate license. Completing your accredited training first can make you more competitive when applying for entry-level roles, as employers know you already meet the licensing requirements.
Others start working in real estate agencies and then find they need to enrol to progress in the industry. You can’t work in a licensed role without a license, but there are administrative, marketing and other support roles that will give you sector experience before you move into a sales focussed role.
Can I study real estate training online?
Yes. Accredited real estate courses can be delivered through online platforms supported by trainers and assessors. Online learning provides you with flexibility while ensuring you meet all compliance and assessment requirements. However when it comes to assessment, we need to incorporate scenarios and real-world elements into the tasks you are asked to do. These are then uploaded to the online learning portal.
What is the difference between accredited training and CPD (Continuing Professional Development)?
Accredited training helps to get you licensed to operate in real estate. CPD training helps you maintain and keep your licence. Both are essential.
In most states and territories, CPD is a compulsory requirement that is governed by legislation. The topics are often determined by the licensing body in line with what they see as a sector risk or an area they want to focus on.
How do I choose the best accredited real estate course?
When comparing real estate training companies, it’s important to look at more than just price and speed. Quicker is not always better. Courses that claim to get you licensed in unrealistically short timeframes may cut corners, leaving you without the knowledge and skills you need in practice. Even worse, if a training organisation is later found to be non-compliant by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), the regulator can cancel or recall qualifications that were issued incorrectly — which means you could lose your licence and have to retrain. The training regulator does not support short courses that don’t give you time to develop skills and knowledge you need.
Choosing a reputable provider with a strong focus on quality, support, and compliance helps protect your investment and ensures you get the skills and recognition you need for a long-term career in real estate.
Why should I choose Under the Hammer for real estate training?
Under the Hammer has been delivering accredited real estate training for over 20 years and maintains a clean compliance record with the national regulator. This means you can enrol with confidence, knowing your qualification is issued by a provider that meets all regulatory requirements and is trusted by both industry and students. Our entry on the national register of training providers is at https://training.gov.au/organisation/details/21687/summary.
If I have done the accredited training course for NSW, can I take that to another state or territory and apply for a license there?
Please contact us for more information as this varies from state to state.
Will accredited real estate training guarantee me a job?
No training provider can guarantee employment outcomes unless they have documented agreements with a real estate agency. However, accredited training gives you the essential education requirements, to apply for a license and our industry connections and focus on practical skills can help make you more job-ready.
Should I choose online self-paced training or a hybrid course with workshops?
It depends on your learning style, budget, career goals and experience.
• Online self-paced courses offer a cheaper price and you can study any time and fit the study around your work and family commitments. This will suit you if you are experienced and motivated, and are comfortable managing your own learning progress and can keep yourself on track.
• Our hybrid model includes workshops: live (online) sessions with trainers and assessors. They are more expensive, but in our experience, the extra support, structured timetable, and opportunities for focussed discussion on key topics and assessment tasks make it easier to build your knowledge and confidence, and to complete the assessments.
Remember, faster or cheaper is not always better. For some students, investing a little more upfront in workshop support leads to better learning outcomes and faster course completion overall.
Why doesn’t Under the Hammer offer unlimited resubmissions on assessments?
At Under the Hammer we want every learner to succeed, but unlimited resubmissions on assessment tasks are not in your best interests. They can be a sign that you are not receiving the right support to understand and apply the knowledge before attempting the assessment task again. No student wants to keep resubmitting an assignment hoping it will eventually pass.
Instead, we provide:
timely feedback on your first submission,
targeted support to address gaps before your second attempt, and
structured opportunities for further reassessment if genuinely required.
Our approach ensures you are properly supported to achieve competence the first or second time, rather than having to make repeated attempts. This ensures you have access to the help you need to succeed.
Why doesn’t Under the Hammer offer price guarantees?
We believe the decision to choose a training provider should be based on quality and integrity, not on who can promise the lowest fee. We feel offering “lowest price guarantees” can be misleading and is not consistent with the regulatory Standards for RTOs, which require us to market ethically and transparently.
Low-price promises can mean reduced service — for example:
• slowed turnaround times for marking and feedback,
• fewer opportunities for feedback or repeat assessment attempts, and
• reduced trainer support.
At Under the Hammer, our fees reflect the quality and support you receive:
• dedicated trainers with current industry experience,
• timely feedback and marking,
• multiple assessment opportunities, and
• access to support when you need it.
We focus on providing value and reliability, rather than competing on short-term price offers. Your training is an investment both financially and personally and our programs are costed to include the quality training and assessment services that will maximise your chances for successfully completing the program.
Do you offer services like Afterpay or pay-later options?
No, Under the Hammer does not use consumer credit or “buy now, pay later” services, as we believe they can add unnecessary risks for students. If you need an installment plan, talk to us directly and we can arrange a flexible, interest-free payment schedule.
Do you run flash sales or limited-time discounts?
No. We don’t offer “flash sales” or limited-time discounts because they can create pressure to enrol quickly without properly considering whether the course is right for you. We prefer to focus on value and quality every day of the year, not short-term promotions designed to drive increased enrolment numbers. Please carefully consider whether the course is right for you and enrol when you are ready. Don’t wait for discounts or sales. If you have questions, our enrolment team is here to help.
