What are the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements that I need to fulfil to renew my licence or registration for the following year? Are there any courses that salespersons or Key Executive Officers have to take on a regular basis?
Answer:
The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) framework ensures that KEOs, practising directors or partners, and salespersons possess the necessary professional knowledge in estate agency work and continuously upgrade themselves by keeping abreast of the changes in government policies and procedures. From 1 October 2019 onwards, KEOs, practising directors or partners, and salespersons must fulfil a total of six credits under the new CPD framework - four credits under Professional Competencies and two under Generic Competencies. Courses related to professional competencies offer salespersons opportunities to develop and deepen their knowledge in estate agency work. These will be grouped into three categories: laws and regulations, property markets, and other related estate knowledge. Courses related to generic competencies will contribute towards salespersons’ overall personal development and sharpen their “soft skills”. These are grouped into 18 categories, including those on leadership, digital literacy, communication, and creative thinking. CEA may introduce mandatory courses in future as and when there are suitable ones for the industry practitioners.

What should I do if I want to continue to practise as a salesperson but did not submit a renewal application during the annual renewal exercise?
Answer:
If you did not submit a renewal application during the annual renewal exercise in October, your salesperson registration with the estate agent would have lapsed after 31 December.
If you would like to be re-registered as a salesperson, you may approach an estate agent - be it the last estate agent you were registered with, or another estate agent - to submit a new salesperson registration application to CEA for you.
Do note that you are not allowed to carry out any estate agency work until CEA has approved the new salesperson registration application.

How do I lodge a complaint with CEA?
Answer:
You may log in with your SingPass to lodge your complaint, along with the supporting documents, via the complaint form* on our website. If you do not have a SingPass account, check if you are eligible to apply for an account. If you are unable to apply for a SingPass account, please contact CEA for further assistance. *For each complaint, CEA looks into the facts and circumstances of the case based on the evidence provided. As part of investigation work, CEA may send a copy of the complaint, including details such as the complainant’s name and the property transacted, to the estate agent concerned to obtain relevant facts of the case. Therefore, it is not possible for CEA to grant complainants anonymity.
