- You are over 16 years of age
- You have the appropriate educational qualifications (this is what you obtain after successful completion of this training program)
- You are not a disqualified person – NSW Fair Trading conducts a police check and they are looking for any conviction in the past ten (10) years. A conviction does not necessarily disqualify you – it depends on what the conviction was for. If you have a past conviction, it would be advisable to discuss this with us prior to enrolling in the course
- You are a fit and proper person of good fame and character
- Statement of Attainment in the five Units of Competency
- The Australian College of Professionals will provide you with the necessary documentation in order for you to register with NSW Fair Trading for a Certificate of Registration (Strata Management), which will give you the authority to work in the property industry. The cost of this registration is not included in your course fee.
If you completed your Certificate of Registration course prior to 23 March 2020 and it has now expired on NSW Fair Trading within the past 2 years, you will be required to undertake an additional online bridging assessment to upgrade to the new Units of Competency to register as an Assistant Agent.
If you did not complete your initial Certificate of Registration with ACOP, you will need to provide a copy of the Statement of Attainment prior to commencing the upgrade course. ACOP will then assess if you are eligible to undertake a bridging assessment, or if you are required to complete the new Assistant Agent course.
If you did not ever make application to NSW Fair Trading for your Certificate, you will need to undertake the full Certificate of Registration training program again, as there have been significant changes to legislation in the past six years.
