In South Australia there is no specific certificate required, however most
employers require you to have undertaken an introductory Property Management course. What
is the difference between a Sales Person and a Real Estate Agent?
A Sales person holds a Certificate IV in Property (Real Estate) and works for
an Agent. An Agent holds a Diploma in Property (Real Estate) as well as a Certificate
IV in Property. An Agent runs a business, including a trust account and is licenced
by the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs. What

A Traineeship is where you find a Real Estate Agent (someone who holds a Diploma
in Property) to employ you under a contract of training for 9 to 12 months. You
will undertake on and off-the-job training throughout the traineeship. Trainees
receive a training wage in accordance with the Real Estate Award. For more
