To elevate agents, the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has launched a “new, innovative, engaging and interactive edition” of its course. 

The REIQ announced its new e-learning interface, Registration Course, is open for online enrolment and will also be introduced to its Full Licence Course for online delivery next month. 

While the course is streamlined in a flipbook learner guide, students have the option to complete interactive activities to help cement the learnings, such as engaging video explainers, “choose your own adventure” tasks and bite-sized knowledge checks.

By incorporating industry platforms such as RealWorks and RP Data into the course, REIQ believes that students are given the opportunity to learn in a simulated workplace environment, providing the tools they need to “hit the ground [running]” once they have completed the course.

REIQ chief executive Antonia Mercorella said the constant updates and enhancements of the institute’s suite of products are made to “maintain our age-old reputation of training excellence and the high calibre of delivery that the industry has come to expect of us”. 

“This particular version of our e-learning program has been 12 months in the making, and we couldn’t be prouder or more excited to have launched it for intake.” 

“It’s a course that offers greater versatility and qualifies a graduate to carry out a range of activities, including residential sales and property management,; commercial and industrial sales and property management; buyers’ agency; and business broking.”

Ms Mercorella said that the REIQ was in a unique position as both a registered training organisation (RTO) and a peak professional body.

“As the state peak body for real estate professionals, the REIQ has skin in the game to not only deliver top-quality training products but to set the bar of professionalism high for our students,” she said. 

“We know that raising the benchmark of professional standards starts with our students; we deliver quality education, and as such, we produce quality agents,” she stated. 

Developed in partnership with Brisbane-based e-learning instructional design organisation Optivly, the interactive real estate course has also received several awards.

This includes the international education industry award recognition at the LearnX Awards in late 2022 and the diamond award for Best E-Learning Project – Industry Specific (Real Estate). 

Ms Mercorella said the accolades cement the REIQ’s position at the forefront of real estate online education and certification solutions in Queensland.
