CPD Courses
Continuing Professional Development Courses (CPD)
Do you have the required knowledge and skills to stay ahead?
RCN’s CPD courses keep real estate salespersons up to date with the required knowledge and skills to stay ahead and succeed in the industry.
From 1 Oct 2019 (i.e. the 2019-2020 CPD cycle) onwards, KEOs, practising directors/partners and salespersons are required to fulfil a total of six credits under the new CPD framework, of which four of these credits must be from courses related to professional competencies and two credits must be from courses related to generic competencies.
You will be required to attend CPD courses under Generic Competencies to fulfil the CPD requirement. Credits under Generic Competencies cannot be substituted by credits obtained under Professional Competencies. This is to ensure that salespersons also focus on developing their competencies in other essential areas not directly related to their professional knowledge, such as service, leadership and digital literacy.
Fulfilling CPD hours is also a renewal licensing/registration condition stipulated in the Estate Agents (Licensing and Registration) Regulations 2010. Failure to comply will affect their registration and may lead to removal from the Public Register.
The CPD requirement is to ensure that KEOs and Salespersons are equipped with the necessary professional knowledge in estate agency work, and continuously upgrade themselves by keeping abreast of the latest changes in Government policies and procedures for property transactions. CEA places important emphasis on core subjects as these help improve the professional effectiveness of KEOs and salespersons.
For more information on the CPD requirements, please refer to CEA’s website.

E-learning: Start with Why (ESWW) - (Generic Competency) - $40
A short write-up on the course:
This module draws reference from the internationally celebrated leadership book “Start with Why”, by Simon Sinek, to apply the business theories discussed in the book to real estate business. When businesses 'start with why', they discover why they are doing what they are doing. This refers to the undying belief and passion for the business which often is the differentiating factors for businesses. This is why some businesses are market leaders, first-movers and game changers who are able to charge a premium, while others are followers, mediocre and are often compressed in pricing.
This module will help real estate salespersons understand their business core to improve sales by making their businesses customer centric. People don't buy because of you, they buy because of themselves, because they share the same beliefs as you. This module draws references from internationally renowned brands such as Apple and Nike, to highlight how businesses with a strongly defined 'why' are often market leaders, charging a premium for their goods and services.Course Objective(s):
One major challenge faced by real estate salespersons is the inability to convert leads into sales transactions, and when they finally do, they find that their commissions are compressed and clients are not willing to pay them the 'fair, rightful' amount.
Learning Objectives:
- Learners will be able to clearly define their ‘why’
- Learners will learn to identify ‘how’ they can improve their business
- Learners will identify the business gaps they have currently and focus on ‘what’ they can do to improve their sales
- Learners will learn to utilize customer centric approaches to build their business
