CPD Compulsory Topics for Class 1 and Class 2 Licence Holders

CPD ACTIVITIES

Class 1 and class 2 Agents in Real Estate or Strata Management or Stock and Station must complete 4 hours of compulsory face-to-face or online interactive CPD each year.

If you cannot complete your compulsory CPD in a face-to-face or online interactive environment, you must instead complete 10 hours of CPD by online module. This must include all compulsory topics relevant to your licence category, plus your choice of other training to make up a total of 10 hours.

If you hold a class 1or class 2 licence for both real estate and strata, or real estate and stock and station, you will be required to undertake:

• 4 hours of compulsory CPD for strata and 4 hours compulsory CPD for real estate (compulsory CPD hours need only be completed once, and completion will count towards your compulsory hours for both licence categories),

For example, an agent completes the compulsory CPD topic about supervisor’s obligations. The topic is applicable to both licence categories – strata and real estate. The agent only needs to complete the topic once and it is counted towards both licence categories (one hour for real estate and one hour for strata).
