COURSE OBJECTIVES
The Real Estate Agency Course aims to train estate agents as well as upgrade the present standard of agency in Singapore.

It helps to ensure that an estate agent who has successfully completed the course is able to service his clients in a more professional manner and provide a higher standard of service.

The course also aims to give aspiring estate agents a general knowledge of the industry and to prepare them to take Common Examination for House Agents (CEHA). A pass in the CEHA will be a pre-requisite for those wishing to apply for a House Agent’s Licence under the Auctioneer’s & Licensing Act. The CEHA is to cater HDB’s requirement that the Agency staff of all firms listed under Listed Housing Agency Scheme (LHAS) are to pass this Examination.

COURSE CONTENTS / COMMENCEMENT
The Real Estate Agency Course will comprise 12 lectures and 3 mock examination. The twelve lectures are divided into three cores namely : (1) Law of Real Property; (2) Real Estate Marketing; and (3) Professional Practice and Management.

The syllabus and structure are subject to revision without prior notice to reflect current market and legislative changes.

The course is conducted twice week, from 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm on weekdays (Unless otherwise stated).
