CPD for Real Estate Agents
Continual Professional Development has been legislated by the Property Practitioners Act and applies to all Principal and Non-Principal property practitioners.
As a candidate property practitioner, your time is taken up with your studies so that you can become a non-principal or full-status estate agent. CPD applies to you the year following that in which you passed your Professional Designated Exam, set by the PPRA.
CPD Parameters
- Pay for your CPD by the 31st March of each year
- Complete your CPD modules before the end of each year
- The PPRA banking detail and the cost of your annual CPD must be taken from the PPRA website.
How Do PPs Help?
As a principal practitioner, it is difficult to keep your eye on the ball when you have multiple qualified agents working for your agency.
You will also find glitches on the PPRA platform, one of the major complaints being that agents cannot access their modules because their payment has not been allocated.
PPs manage all of this for you within their annual compliance management fee.
