What is the CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice?

- Property listing and sales processes.

The Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice is also a key educational requirement for applying for a real estate licence in many states and territories, including WA (always check with your local regulator for up-to-date requirements).
What roles could this real estate course support?
While completion of a course does not guarantee employment, the CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice may support your eligibility for a variety of entry-level or support roles, such as:
Real Estate Sales Representative
Work alongside licensed agents to assist with property sales, open homes, client communication, and contract preparation.
Property Manager or Assistant Property Manager
Help manage rental properties by liaising with tenants and owners, organising maintenance, and conducting inspections.
Leasing Consultant
