Training for property services jobs varies depending on the job, your level of experience in the industry, and the area you want to work in. It may include completing national certificates, professional registration or licensing, a diploma or a degree. For example:

• property managers and developers need to have experience in the industry, but a relevant diploma or degree in an area such as property, law or finance may also be required
• real estate salespeople need to complete a national certificate to enter the job
• property valuers must have a relevant degree, and be registered.

Real estate agents and property managers must have a driver’s licence to allow them to visit properties and transport clients to viewings.

Progression in property services jobs could include:

• managing a team of staff, a branch, or your own business
• moving between residential and commercial property work
• gaining experience to move from assisting on development projects or sales to leading and managing them.
