Lena is an assistant real estate agent. What CPD must she complete in each CPD year?
Correct Answer
D) At least 3 units from the Certificate IV needed for a class 2 licence.
Fair Trading's CPD requirements say assistant agents must complete at least 3 units each CPD year from a valid Certificate IV qualification required for the issue of a class 2 licence. This keeps them progressing towards the licence within the 4-year certificate term.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
An assistant agent's CPD is at least 3 Certificate IV units a year.
