How it works
Here is a detailed breakdown of how the apprenticeship process works for employers. Throughout the process, Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provide support with:
- New Employee Induction - AASN provides a program induction for you and your new apprentice and facilitates the completion and signing of the training contract.
- Choosing a Training Provider - ASAN will provide you and your apprentice a list of suitable Registered Training Organisations (RTO) to choose from to deliver the training. REIQ is an RTO for real estate training and the peak body for real estate in Queensland.
- Government Registration - AASN will work with employer and apprentice to finalise training contract requirements and forward to the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) for registration.
- Eligible Incentive Claims - AASN will assess employer and apprentice eligibility for incentives and assist with claim application and processing when they are due.
- Employee Mentoring and Assistance - For the duration of the training, AASN offers access to mentoring and other support services as required.
- Completion of Training - Your apprentice now gains a formal industry qualification that is nationally recognised and qualifies them to apply to the Office of Fair Trading to gain their formal real estate licence.
Benefits of Offering an Apprenticeship
From an agency perspective, by up-skilling staff though apprenticeships, employees are motivated to achieve a higher company standard. In addition to this, the potential Federal Government funding that can be claimed through the apprenticeship can contribute to the learning and development budget of the agency and assist with ongoing and consistent training.

Studying the registration course with The REIQ was the best experience! The content was engaging and the workbooks were really well set out and visually appealing. The learning portal was extremely easy to navigate and the process of uploading and submitting assessments was seamless. And of course, the training team were FANTASTIC. They were so helpful and always happy to assist. I could not have had a better experience and I wouldn't recommend anywhere else. :)

I've recently completed a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice and Diploma of Property (Agency Management) with REIQ online. The course was well structured and I undertook the online learning course as my preferred option to study. It was straight-forward enough and was great to work at my own pace. The online portal was easy to use.

REIQ is an excellent training provider with extensive courseware and great student support. Its trainers have vast industry experience who share their valuable insights of the industry during the face-to-face training sessions which really helped me to complete the Real Estate Agent course and the Licensee course in record time.

As an online course I found that if I needed support (by phone) it was an easy matter of booking a spot. The staff were all approachable and helpful. The booklets are easy to follow. The course requires 100% pass mark so it means going back to the drawing board for every mistake no matter how small. Allow time for this, as marking is not necessarily immediate. The multiple choice questions were straight forward. The practice questions required the filling out of contracts online, access to forms through realworks, and the uploading of files. The more competent one is with a computer, the easier that will be. Any glitches I personally had were sorted without drama so on that basis I would recommend this Certificate IV course which covers both sales and property management. I also now get one year free Registration to REIQ so that's an added bonus too.
