When do I need to start doing CPD?

From 6 June 2025, your first real estate CPD year begins on the anniversary date of your licence or certificate being issued (as it appears on your licence or certificate). For example, if your issue anniversary date is 1 August, the OFT requires you to start keeping evidence of your CPD courses from this date.

The REIQ has a tracker available to determine when your CPD training is due for completion.

We have received OFT approval to provide the following courses:

As a registered training organisation and Office of Fair Trading-approved CPD provider, the REIQ is the leading provider of Continuing Professional Development CPD real estate training in Queensland.

We will continue to offer industry-leading courses to ensure those with a licence or registration not only comply with these new CPD requirements but can also tailor your training to your individual needs, whichever sector you work in.

From staying up to date with legislative changes and industry trends to learning best practice, REIQ CPD training will help registered and licensed agents boost your core skills and service excellence.

CPD training sessions

To meet the OFT CPD changes, a real estate agent must complete two approved CPD training sessions per year, choosing from the following options:

• One Type 1 CPD session and one Type 2 CPD session; OR

• Two Type 1 CPD sessions

With CPD hours, the OFT says a duration of two to three hours for each compulsory CPD session is considered sufficient.

What is Type 1 CPD?

A Type 1 CPD program session includes:

• An approved CPD version of a unit of competency from the national Property Services Training Package; or

• A fully accredited unit of competency from these qualifications.

The REIQ will provide a range of options for licence and certificate holders so you can choose the training that best suits your requirements.

What is Type 2 CPD?

A Type 2 session focuses on enhancing service outcomes and consumer protection for buyers and sellers.

These CPD courses aim to boost the professionalism, customer service, and ethical business practices of people in the profession, whether in sales or property management.

The REIQ will provide a range of compulsory CPD training to help you.
