New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) (Level 4)

Overview

The New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) (Level 4) provides you with the knowledge and skills that you need to sell property in New Zealand. When you have successfully completed the qualification, you can apply for a Salesperson’s licence through the Real Estate Authority (REA).

It is important to note that you can only apply for your licence after you have been awarded your NZQA qualification. The Salesperson’s licence application is a separate process that takes approximately a month. Don’t wait. The sooner you start and complete our programme, the sooner you will receive your certificate, apply for your licence and start selling property.

This programme is split into three modules:

Module 1 – Real estate fundamentals:
  • 26149: Explain licensing and the code of professional conduct under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 (4 credits).

  • 23134: Demonstrate knowledge of law relating to land titles, ownership, and transfer of land (4 credits).
  • 22311: Explain aspects of the Unit Titles Act 2010 for real estate personnel (2 credits).

Module 2 – Contract and commercial law as it applies to real estate:
  • 23135: Demonstrate knowledge of the law of contract and the law of agency in a real estate context (5 credits).
  • 23136: Demonstrate knowledge of consumer protection law related to real estate practice (4 credits).
  • 23141: Demonstrate knowledge of legislation as applied to real estate licensees (4 credits).
  • 26150: Demonstrate knowledge of methods for sale of real estate in New Zealand (4 credits).
Module 3 – marketing yourself and property when selling or leasing real estate:
  • 15500: Establish a personal professional presence in the real estate market (2 credits).
  • 26148: Demonstrate knowledge and use of inspection and appraisal for real estate property (4 credits).
  • 23140: Develop marketing plans for real estate, qualify customers, and present properties for sale (5 credits).
  • 23137: Demonstrate knowledge of the sale and purchase agreement and facilitate a sale of real estate (5 credits).

Successful completion of this programme will result in 50 credits.
