Training options for an initial licence

Before submitting an application for an initial licence, a landlord or agent must pass a ‘complete’ course. This course must be undertaken within the 12 month period prior to licence submission. A complete course is the equivalent of a full-day landlord/agent course intended for an initial licence application. For more information on 'complete courses' click here.

Training options for renewing a licence

There are three training options available at renewal. These include:

1. The original landlord/agent licensing training (complete course) - within 1 year before submitting a renewal application; OR
   
   
2. The re-licensing training (complete course) - within 1 year before submitting a renewal application; OR
   
   
3. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - The applicant must achieve a minimum number of CPD points before submitting the renewal application. A landlord must achieve 60 points and an agent must achieve 80 points. CPD courses are each weighted differently depending on whether they are a mandatory (core) or supplementary course (of the applicant’s choice). CPD must be completed over the 5 year duration of an existing licence.
