Recognition of Prior Learning

The Australian College of Professionals, as a Registered Training Organisation, is scoped for all areas in the property industry, and as such is able to offer an assessment service to professionals working, or wishing to work, in any of the six categories of licence covered by the Property Stock and Business Agents Act 2002. These categories are:

1. Real Estate Agent
2. Business Agent
3. Stock and Station Agent
4. Strata Managing Agent
5. On-Site Residential Property Manager
6. Buyers Agent

For those persons who have been working in the industry for some time, or have extensive experience in other related industries, being assessed against the competencies is the most preferable method of gaining a licence. This means that your previous learning and experience is being assessed against the competencies for a specific licence. Each of the licence categories have difference Units of Competence and you are required to provide evidence of how you have either previous learning or experience that demonstrates that you are competent in these areas. This process is often referred to as Recognition of Prior Learning and Recognition of Prior Experience.

As each person's past learning and experience is different, it is essential for each individual applicant to contact the College to discuss their specific requirements. Once you contact the College, an information package specific to your requirements, will be forwarded to you either in hard copy or electronically.
