2026–2027 CPD Compulsory Topics: Residential Sales Agents
Overview
The 2026–2027 CPD year (1 July 2026 – 30 June 2027) operates under a rigorous regulatory framework established by NSW Fair Trading. As a licensed professional, you are required to complete compulsory topics relevant to your licence category and areas of practice to maintain compliance.
All Class 1 and Class 2 licence holders are required to complete compulsory CPD topics relevant to their licence category and area of practice to maintain compliance.
Our CPD Focus: Integrated Compliance
At Industry Training Consultants, we deliver compulsory CPD training exclusively for residential sales agents.
Our program is designed to align with NSW Fair Trading’s updated CPD framework, which emphasises applied competency, practical assessment, and improved alignment with real-world agency risks, including AML/CTF obligations.
Our training also complements the AgentSafe for Real Estate software platform and the AgentSafe AML/CTF Compliance Framework, supporting agencies to embed compliance into day-to-day operational practice.
Compulsory Topics for Residential Sales Agents
To fulfil your 7-hour minimum CPD requirement, our program covers the following mandatory topics:
- Auction laws and practice

Buyers Agent Compulsory Topics
Industry Training Consultants is also an approved provider of the compulsory CPD topics for buyers agents for the 2026/2027 CPD year.
As the demand for buyers agent training is generally lower than for real estate salespersons, in-house training can be arranged on request for agencies or groups of buyers agents.
The training covers the compulsory topics prescribed by NSW Fair Trading, including:
- Auction Laws and Practice
- Supervision Guidelines and AML/CTF in Agency Practice
- Marketing Services, Scope of Practice & Licensing Obligations
- Contracts
If you would like to arrange in-house training for your office, please contact us to discuss suitable dates and delivery options.
