Why CPD Courses?
The mandate given to the Real Estate Board to ensure there is continuous learning for practitioners is provided for in The Real Estate (Dealers & Developers) Act – The Real Estate (Dealers & Developers) (Code of Ethics) Regulations, 1998, Section 16 (1) states:
Every person registered to practice real estate business shall have regard to the need for continued professional education, training and development and shall participate in such courses as may from time to time be offered or directed by the Board.
Online Delivery
In 2023, the Real Estate Training Institute introduced MyRETIOnline, a web-based learning management system which facilitates self-paced learning and direct learning modalities. All mandatory CPD courses are available as self-paced courses. This allows practitioners to complete their courses at their own convenience.
If required other modes of delivery may be made available to allow individuals to complete their 10 hours of CPD training per year. The Real Estate Board will decide on mandatory or optional. Some CPDs may be made mandatory for specific areas of practice.
How to Register for Self-Paced CPDs
Step 1: Register and Pay on the Client Portal
To register for a self-paced CPD, the practitioner is required to login to the Client Portal. The practitioner should then navigate to the desired CPD course, enter the required information and make the payment. After confirmation of registration the course will be added to the MyRETIOnline Platform.
Timeline for Completion after Registration
It must be noted that online self-paced course must be completed within 90 days of registration. If you fail to do so, your registration for the course will be cancelled. If you are to again take the course, you will have to come into the office, pay for the course, after which we will re-register you.

Step 3: Using MyRETIOnline

Step 4: Quiz – Participation Codes
Once you have completed watching the videos, you will be directed to an online quiz in which you will be asked to identify the participation codes. These codes were interspersed throughout the videos. You are required to know all the codes but the quiz will randomly ask for three (3) of a possible five codes. You have three (3) opportunities to complete the quiz. If unsuccessful after three attempts, you will be required to pay an additional access fee for the re-sit. Once you have successfully completed the quiz (100%) you will be sent an auto-generated completion certificate for your records.
We will ensure that your completion records are uploaded to the registry.
