Course overview

No longer available to new students.

Kaplan Professional’s online SA Registered Property Manager Program is ideal if you wish to become a registered property manager or to further your real estate knowledge, and have not previously completed (or do not intend to complete) a SA Sales Representative course.

It provides an overview of the property industry in SA including the relevant legislation, compliance and risk minimisation.
You will also gain an introductory understanding of the leasing aspects of working in real estate including listing and marketing for lease, ongoing tenancy management and presenting tribunal cases. You will also learn strategies that will assist you in developing the skills required as a property manager.

Successful completion meets the educational requirement for SA Consumer and Business Services to apply for registration as a property manager.

This course is recommended for individuals who have not previously studied (or do not intend to study) a SA Sales Representative Program. If you have already completed this study, it is recommended you complete the SA Registered Property Manager Upgrade Program. Note that in this option, you will not be able to apply to register as a Property Manager until you have completed the Sales Representative course. Please see below diagram for further information:

 

Duration

Individuals have a total of 26 weeks (6 months) to complete the learning and assessment requirements for the SA Registered Property Manager Program from their initial activation date.

Extensions are available at an additional cost.

The subject breakdown for this course is below:

  • CPPDSM4007A Identify legal and ethical requirements of property management to complete agency work
  • *CPPDSM4009 Interpret legislation to complete work in the property industry
  • CPPDSM4010A Lease property

  • CPPDSM4020A Present at tribunals
  • SARegPMOA – Oral Assignment (completed at the end, covering all UOCs)

All subjects, except SARegPMOA, form the units of competency in this course. These units make up part of CPP40307 Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) (except for *CPPDSM4009 Interpret legislation to complete work in the property industry, for which an equivalent unit (CPPDSM4009B) is used in the qualification).

All subjects except the oral assignment subject will be activated upon initial enrolment. Individuals are required to complete all other subjects prior to attempting the oral assignment. The above is the recommended study order of subjects; however, individuals have the flexibility to complete in any order, with the oral assignment as the last subject.

The amount of training for this course may be up to 15 hours per week. The amount of training is the hours an individual can expect to spend to complete their course work and assessments.

In addition to the amount of training, individuals who are new to industry or vocational training could need up to 5 hours per week known as unsupervised hours. These additional hours are for study skills or further research. For example, an individual not working in industry would need more time to review industry websites that are usually introduced in workplace compliance training.

Individuals in job roles related to the real estate industry may be able to complete the course requirements in a shorter timeframe or less hours per week.

Recognition of Prior Learning

You may be entitled to receive Recognition of Prior Learning for existing knowledge and skills. RPL is a formal assessment process that recognises your current skill and knowledge. If you have the necessary experience and skill you may be competent in one or more of the units even though you have not completed recognised training.

RPL assessment will recognise what you know and apply it to the real estate program that you want to complete. This will reduce the time you need to spend studying and the number of units you need to complete.

The assessment process looks at your:

  • real estate experience
  • experiences gained throughout your working life
  • any education or training you have completed and applies this to the units required to complete your chosen real estate program

The education can be formal such as diplomas or degrees from recognised educational institutions or formal training such as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) attendance at conferences or seminars or franchise training – in fact any learning whatsoever can be recognised
