New South Wales Deep Dive
Why NSW Requires More Electives
NSW Fair Trading mandates that Class 2 licence holders can practice in both residential sales and property management. This "dual competency" requirement means RTOs must include electives from both Group A (Residential Sales) and Group B (Property Management).
Typical NSW Elective Bundle
Sales Units (Group A)
- • CPPREP4101 - Appraise property
- • CPPREP4102 - Market property
- • CPPREP4103 - Establish vendor relationships
- • CPPREP4104 - Establish buyer relationships
- • CPPREP4105 - Sell property
Property Management (Group B)
- • CPPREP4121 - Establish landlord relationships
- • CPPREP4122 - Manage tenancy
- • CPPREP4123 - Manage tenancy disputes
- • CPPREP4124 - End tenancy
- • CPPREP4125 - Transact in trust accounts
Student Impact: NSW students receive the most comprehensive real estate education, making them highly versatile but requiring longer study periods.
Victoria Deep Dive
Why VIC Allows Specialization
Consumer Affairs Victoria's Agent's Representative category historically allowed sales-only practice. While current CPP41419 provides broader coverage, many RTOs still configure electives with a sales focus, adding minimal property management units.
Typical VIC Elective Bundle
Core Sales Focus
- • CPPREP4101 - Appraise property
- • CPPREP4102 - Market property
- • CPPREP4103 - Establish vendor relationships
- • CPPREP4104 - Establish buyer relationships
- • CPPREP4105 - Sell property
Minimal PM Coverage
- • CPPREP4121 - Establish landlord relationships
- • CPPREP4122 - Manage tenancy
- • (PM specialization optional)
Student Impact: VIC students can focus on sales mastery with faster completion times, but may need additional training for property management roles.
Queensland's Unique Pathway System
Registration Certificate Pathway
Shorter pathway for supervised practice under a licensed agent. Focuses on essential competencies.
Typical Electives:
- • CPPREP4101 - Appraise property
- • CPPREP4102 - Market property
- • CPPREP4121 - Establish landlord relationships
- • CPPREP4125 - Transact in trust accounts
Full Licence Pathway
Comprehensive training for independent practice and agency ownership. Broader elective coverage.
Expanded Electives:
- • All Registration Certificate units
- • CPPREP4105 - Sell property
- • CPPREP4122 - Manage tenancy
- • Additional specialization options
Strategic Advantage: QLD's pathway system allows students to enter the workforce faster with Registration Certificate, then upgrade to Full Licence when ready for independent practice.
