Summary of review and consultation process

The scheduled review of the Real Estate qualifications was conducted during June 2020 – September 2020.

The review included a broad consultation with the regulatory body, relevant industry association, real estate agencies, and relevant tertiary education organisations.  The review formed a Consultation Review Group who met once a month to review the qualifications, discuss feedback, determine changes where required.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

The New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) Level 4 [Ref: 3111] was determined fit for purpose and largely unchanged. The education pathway removed reference to New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Specialist) with strands in Business Broking, Commercial and Industrial, Residential, and Rural Level 5 [Ref: 3112].

The New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Specialist) (Level 5) with strands in Business Broking, Commercial and Industrial, Residential, and Rural [Ref: 3112] was determined not fit for purpose and will be discontinued without replacement. This outcome will enable the industry to determine a more suitable pathway for the various areas of real estate.
