CPP31519 is the nationally recognised Certificate III in Real Estate Practice. It prepares you for work as a real estate representative. It has been the current version on the national register since 2019, when it replaced CPP30311 and CPP30211. Employers posted about 1,827 real estate representative jobs in June 2026, down 9.2% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Certificate III in Real Estate Practice are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035 and enrolments are rising. Job ads in June 2026 were down 9.2% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Employers are posting fewer real estate representative jobs than a year ago. About 1,827 real estate representative jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 9.2% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 23,900 job ads, while 1,075 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
Australia's official shortage list rates business brokers, property managers, real estate agency principal / real estate agency licensees, real estate agents and real estate representatives as not in shortage. The 2025 Occupation Shortage List rates Business Broker, Property Manager, Real Estate Agency Principal / Real Estate Agency Licensee, Real Estate Agent and Real Estate Representative as not in shortage.
