To be a Property Representative in Tasmania requires registration with the Property Agents Board. In order to obtain your licence to work in real estate you are required to pass an exam with the Property Agents Board. The Property Representatives Course provides the underpinning knowledge to sit this exam.

Exam

The Property Agents Board conducts the exam for the Property Representatives’ licence. Exams are scheduled in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone. It is not a requirement to complete the Property Representative Course prior to sitting the exam. For further information on the exam process, fees and to enrol please visit https://www.propertyagentsboard.com.au/exams.html 

Mutual Recognition - transferring to or from another State or Territory

The requirements to work in the real estate industry differ for each State and Territory in Australia. The REIT’s Property Representative Course is specially designed to help learners successfully prepare to sit the exam with the Property Agents Board, in order to gain a licence to work within the real estate industry in Tasmania. The training units contained within it are not nationally recognised training units and are not suitable for recognition in equivalent units in other States and Territories in Australia.  It is recommended you contact the licensing body in the State or Territory to confirm their licencing requirements if you intend to seek employment interstate in the immediate future. If you are licenced in another State and are moving to Tasmania, it’s recommended you contact the Property Agents Board to seek clarification on your requirements to be licenced in Tasmania.
