CPD Training and the 2026 CPD Framework

01 / Built for Working Professionals

Night and Weekend Classes

Designed around the working schedules of active Real Estate Salespersons.

Practical Learning

Realistic property, regulatory and client-facing scenarios.

Clear and Structured

Well-organised sessions with defined learning outcomes and focused delivery.

02 / 2026 CPD Framework

Understanding Your 2026 CPD Requirements

Every KEO and Real Estate Salesperson renewing their registration must complete 16 training hours per CPD cycle. Structured Learning is made up of CEA-accredited courses. Self-directed Learning gives you flexibility to learn in other ways, with your KEO’s approval. Based on the framework published by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA), in effect from 1 January 2026 under Project ADEPT.

03 / Rules Worth Knowing

Four Rules That Catch People Out

The Cycle Is Fixed

Every CPD cycle runs from 1 January to 31 December, aligned with your registration validity period.

No Mixing of Categories

Hours completed in one category cannot substitute for requirements in another. You need all three minimums.

New RESs Get One Cycle’s Grace

New RESs are exempted in their first CPD cycle, and must comply from their second cycle onwards.

SDL Needs Your KEO’s Sign-Off

Your KEO assesses the relevance of Self-directed Learning activities and approves them in the CPD System.

Fulfil Your Hours, Then Apply
