Strata Management Licence
CPP40521 Certificate IV in Strata Community Management
The Australian College of Professionals conducts a full Class 2 strata licence program for people to undertake an in-depth study of the entire strata and community management process. This is a practical-based course, underpinned by the legislative requirements of the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 and the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 and their associated regulations. This program also provides course participants with opportunities to acquire and practice new skills in all areas relating to strata and community management.
To be eligible to make an application to NSW Fair Trading for a Class 2 Strata Managing Agents Licence, you must have a minimum of 12 month’s work experience as an Assistant Agent and can provide evidence of work experience competence from your Licensee-In-Charge.
The modules that are compulsory for a NSW Strata Licence are:
-
- Certificate of Registration
- Communication in Strata
- Financial Management
- Strata Management Agency Practices
- Trust Accounting & Insurance
This Strata Management training focuses on practical skills in relation to working effectively and efficiently within a strata community title management agency. It covers the basic practice functions of an agency associated with the management of property and facilities on behalf of an owner’s corporation, and functions associated with an association constituted for a scheme under the Community Land Development Act.
The successful completion of this full training program will mean that the person gains the award of a Certificate IV in Strata Community Management.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
If you believe that you have the skills, knowledge and competence in any of the module areas, then you can discuss this with an Assessor at the College who can provide you with an Evidence Guide that gives you the details of the types of evidence that you need to provide for the Units of Competency for which you intend to apply for RPL for your strata licence.
