Real Estate Academy Australia (REAA)

REAA Rea Estate course Did this course and not once did I get to speak to a trainer for support. I did get some written replies but they were very short, most not helpful like they did not understand my question. Towards the end of the course I was… Read more

receiving no responses. Submitted my work and never heard from them and they were ignoring my communications. Thought they packed up and left. Eventually got through, but I spoke to someone in the Philippines and said their trainers were not available. Phillipines??? Explained everything. Was congratulated vis email for completing course but no certificate sent. All of a sudden they claimed not to have received my last module which did not make sense AS WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED ABOUT THIS AT ANY POINT.. Second time they lost it, probably on phillipines somewhere. Never heard from them again, money gone

My wifecdid a different course through another company. Paid more but the quality was very different and much more professional. Worth paying extra.

My advice: DO NOT DO ANY COURSES THROUGH REAA

CLASS ACTION. As i DISCOVERED they use PHILLIPINOS as their teachers who have no idea of Queensland real estate and they lose things all the time. I was asked to pay to resumbit - scam! Fair Trading are a youthless tiger so need to go through QCAT.… Read more

Im looking at initiating a class action against REAA for people who HAVE been scammed. Seeking aggrieved past customers details.The ASQA is cracking down on companies like these so contact them. Waiting for more information, just getting it checked and will post. They are locate at lutwyche rd, brisbane same building as Coronis Real Estate.

Excellent team – I was enrolled for Certification IV for finance Finance & Mortgage and I was amazed with the study material which was provided! Customer support team is very friendly. Mae from course support person really helped me lot when ever there is issue. Even assessment team was amazing helping all sort queries. The role plays gave more confidence . I highly recommend this institute for finance courses.

Fully satisfied with the course – I was enrolled for the agent rep course and I was amazed with the study material which was provided! The course was a mix of theoretical and practical knowledge! The best part were the role plays! I felt very confident after shooting each role play! I will surely recommend it to other people!

Residential Letting Agents License – I completed CPPREP41819 Residential Letting Agents License. I am 4 Units from the full Real Estate License. I completed this course in 3 months of consistent work, you have to be relatively experienced in office work computers research typing etc . I had completed Certification IV in Workplace Health and Safety and Trainer and Assessor so I had… Read more ·  1

some experience.

I can assure you that the course is do able, and you can achieve your Certificate.

I found MAE an assistant who I worked with me she was amazing patient knowledgeable and helpful when I was finding areas of the course tricky.

There is a rhythm to this course and if you have no computer experience then it can be tricky but take your time and you will accomplish it.

Ultimate clowns running this institution Should be BANNED/FINED for not following Australian study standards and ethics They think all students have money and patience to deal with them. They really dont wana teach u. Simply wana take ur money and deliver u the course which really offended me as being a genuine student. Ignore ignore ignore Go somewhere else Dont waste ur time and money here

DO NOT GO NEAR THIS COMPANY!! Having experience in education myself, this company, in this case real estate, is run by amateurs. content organisation and module navigation is quite poor. Got some but minimal help in the beginning, then nothing after that or very slow to respond or did not answer my questions like they did not understand. At one… Read more

stage they lost my submission telling e I did not submit but they ended up but finding it and assessed it. In my final stages and final submission, tried to get help numerous times but no reply. Did what I thought best and asked to reply if anything else was required - no reply. Tried to contact again and eventually got to their office in the Philippines and they told me their trainers were not available (i.e. at the Phillipine office)- so Philippine trainers training and assessing Queensland real estate!? REAA eventually sent a letter congratulating me for the completion of the course but did not send the certificate of accreditation. After countless ignored emails they finally sent a response that I did not complete the course which did not make sense. I had a real estate owner and Principal of the realty do the videos with me and as with me when I sent off submission. I think they lost it again or were just incompetent. Will keep pursuing until I receive my certificate of attainment. QCAT will open up after the holidays.

do not use this provider, ambiguous questions designed to make you fail resulting in you having to pay their 25 dollar resubmission fee, please do not use these guys, spend the extra money on another provider it will be better in the long run I promise

Really disappointing experience with REAA. The customer service is incredibly slow, often taking over a week to respond to messages. It took more than a month before they even started marking my course, and when they finally did, they only marked a small section — stopping at the first mistake instead of completing the full assessment. I’ve been… Read more

told multiple times that my course would be fully marked by certain dates, yet there’s been little progress every time. I’ve spent countless hours waiting instead of actually completing the course. For a program that’s supposed to help people get licensed quickly, there’s absolutely no sense of urgency or accountability. If you want a provider that values your time and supports your progress, I’d strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Absolutely hopeless experience. I’ve been calling every single day with no answer. There is zero support for assignment questions, and at every step, they keep asking for extra fees. Totally unprofessional and misleading. Once they get your money, you’re left on your own. Would not recommend this service to anyone.

Warning: Don’t be fooled by their website reviews — they are fake. This “mortgage broker course” is nothing more than a money trap. The glowing reviews on their website are clearly manufactured — my experience (and many others I’ve since spoken to) has been the complete opposite. The content barely teaches you anything useful for becoming a… Read more

broker. The so-called “role play” requirement is the biggest scam — they expect you to rope in family or friends, record them, and then post the videos online. If you refuse (for obvious privacy reasons), they simply won’t mark your work. Their “solution” is to pay extra for a Zoom role play with one of their trainers. Total upsell.

Assignments take 30–40+ days to be marked unless you cough up another $200 for “priority marking.” Emails go unanswered, support is non-existent, and the entire setup is designed to frustrate you into paying more.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine who went with a different provider finished their course in just 5 weeks, while I’m still stuck because they refuse to mark my work without the extra payments.

They lure students with a low upfront price, then bleed you dry with hidden fees and roadblocks. If you ask for a refund, they stonewall you and make excuses.

Save yourself the stress and money — go elsewhere. This provider is greedy, unprofessional, and completely unethical.

Extremely poor experience and poor course provider who never answers their phone and barely responds to queries (if you get a response it has lack of information ) Their reviews are fake as they were gifted for it. Lack of support , bad marking, ask for extra funds often for better marking! Overall better to go through reiq

They are extremely untrustworthy and lacking in professionalism. I highly advise against enrolling in any courses with them. They take an excessive amount of time to respond to your concerns, even after you have reached out to them. They insisted that your responses were incorrect, despite them actually being correct. I regret making the decision… Read more

to pursue my Certificate IV and diploma with this organization. Their accountability for their services is very poor.

Unprofessional. They do not communicate and mark your work accurately or at all. Stay away from this company if you want a real estate license. Absolutely hopeless and regret going through them.

DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THESE PEOPLE !! – Never use this company, they are very quick to take your money but in my case had a car accident and was not able to do the course valued at $550 . Asked if I could transfer to someone or get refund , 4 weeks of phone calls and forms to sign about why I can’t do it to be told that no refunds aloud also still waiting on call back or info on if I… Read more

can transfer to someone able to make use of it so my $550 is not wasted this will be going onto week 5 !! So much for getting back to you in 1-5 business days. Rip off company DO NOT USE. Disgraceful, unhelpful , thieves

Just a terrible course -avoid at all cost – Wish I had read these reviews before giving them money. Terrible course. Cannot get in touch with anyone for assistance, and if you are actually lucky enough to hear from them they all have very thick and heavy accents that you can't understand them over the phone. I would like to think I'm fairly intelligent but this site is awful and actually… Read more

takes more time to find the information than to complete a module. I'll be seeking a refund. Update: they have denied the refund even though REAA is blatantly in the wrong. Training ombudsman cannot assist because they refuse to contact me in regards to this matter. Highly suggest checking with the other providers that they don't actually use this company for their theory. Apparently other providers use this shonky company. I cannot tell you how angry I am at REAA for their lack of response, compassion or actual assistance.

Terrible course – Terrible. I've worked in real estate for over a decade but I took some time off and let my licence expire. I have to re-do the course to re-apply for my licence so I chose this cheaper course as I figured I already knew most of it so this was more of a formality/refresher than actually needing to learn. I thought I'd have the course done within a… Read more

few days but it takes a full day just to get through one arduous module! The study materials are terrible. It's all very badly written and the whole layout of the website is very confusing to use. Then come the assessments. Very poorly written questions and long drawn out, repetitive assessments. It will take weeks if not longer to complete this course that should only take one week.

Disgusting – Absolutely pathetic A clumsy portal, very difficult to navigate. NO trainer assistance ever only an automated response email, phone doesn’t answer, messages not returned ! As an intelligent person who has done a lot of study in the past I highly recommend you give this company a wide berth

REAA -Beware of their antics. Stay Away use other competitors and read resl reviews well – I inscribed for a real estate course and paid over 250 aud. As numerous personal family and life issues arose I informed Reaa. I got an extension. I tried to do the initial phase of the course entrance. The system was slow, set in a illogical manner and it was slow and time consuming. I let the course rep know and she passed the buck to… Read more

another department without any proper information to get a successful outcome. I told her what the system was doing and that as course rep she could please facilitate a solution. It was duly ignored. I explained what the specifics were of the issues were and that I could be helped as serious external issues that I had to sort out were in my problem basket. This rep came back and gave me in writing more time. When I got back and explained that to complete the course the system had to be competent, logical and efficient to work with and complete. I noted a senior at reaa responded by taking away the extra time given to complete by the rep. An illicit contract breach as something given in writing cannot be unilaterally withdrawn without any reasonable reason. I responded to him which he duly ignored. I got a silly email from reaa stating you are moving. What on earth is the mindset of this reaa corresponder on. If they think I will ever go near reaa due to their illogical system and communication process and behaviour they can keep dreaming. I did notice I was not the only one who has had problems with their system and no solution. I noted reas strategically put out reviews on certain domains to attract clients. Hoping people rather read well real review and give them a wide MISS as their behaviour and business conduct is not honourable. No good karma to the individual who cut my extra completion time will come to him as it is my 250 aud plus that they pocketed for no real work. Shame on you and your team.

Avoid this institution – I strongly advise against considering this institution. They provide no real help or support, and nearly everything comes with additional costs. Their approach to grading assessments feels like a tactic to push you into seeking help, only to charge you even more. The advertised low price of $215 is nothing but a bait to draw you in. Once you're… Read more

hooked, there's no way out—no refunds, no flexibility. This experience felt like a complete scam. Stay away and warn others to avoid falling into the same trap.

Horrible and useless – The academy shouldn't even get 1 star! They're cheap but you get what you pay for. The course is horrible and no one gets back to you. The course materials and the website you work off are terrible. There are so many role plays you need to do, and I took time off my own job to do these with my mum and now the videos won't even work to submit my… Read more

assignment. I have tried calling AGAIN and no answer....nothing....its like you don't exist and they want you to fail....don't waste a cent of your money

A lot of role plays and confusing layout – Still studying course but have less then 60 days to complete ,when I go to my results as it takes forever to mark things I’ve found some new tasks have popped up that where not there before and some tasks I’ve had to submit several times as they seem to disappear so please check regular your tasks are completed in the my results area and ensure… Read more

everything is saved on your computer. I have done courses online and I found this to be very difficult I’ve also studied youth work so use to working with legislation stuff but the structure of the course is confusing and and the way tasks jump and you have to complete one task here but then part of that assessment can’t be completed until another assessment is also done which makes it hard to keep track of. I enrolled in the course with no one around me as the course promotes easy to do and even if you have 5 mins to spare you can do something but the amount of role plays involved it would be impossible to do this course on your own so unless you have willing time free participants this isn’t the course for you I’ve had to skip role plays and continue through the course just to get work done as I work around others availability . I wish I had of done more research and read feedback as I wouldn’t have chosen this course had I been aware of the course requiring so many role plays I will more then likely fail as a result as I cannot complete role plays. Unlike others I have found the help desk quick to get back and whilst sometimes a bit of confusion my inquiries are sorted. For a 6 month course it’s very difficult to complete with all the required tasks unless you have full availability and people to help. So fingers crossed I get through it and hope my review helps

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS CHEAP COMPANY!!! you will regret it! – DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Having completed the real estate course 3 times in the past I went with this one due to ease of access via online for a refresher and to reinstate mt certificate. This has been the most absolutely abysmal experience. Communication is beyond appalling, marking times are beyond unacceptable, despite paying extra for… Read more

priority marking. It almost seems like only on person works there! The written workload is ridiculous (not difficult - but just too much of it, compared to other companies) and you have to make up to 20 hours of videos to submit (with the help of your own volunteers) which is simply too demanding. The course set up online is completely impractical and very difficult to understand. Again, there is no help or communication. Do not use this company just because they are cheaper! Spend the extra few hundred and go with REIQ where it is faster, well-structured and more professional.

DO NOT USE – Do not waste your money or time!.. I thought it was me creating the struggles but its not...The course work itself is insane, hidden modules to which you dont find until you get to them, lost count at the numerous repetitive questions in often poor english. that dont make alot of sense, over a dozen role play videos, if you need help they take… Read more

days to respond, you cant talk to anyone immediately, they call you back, modules sit for months before being marked.... I wasted too many months trying to complete with REAA and ended up finding another course provider which has been refreshing, their content is much easier to understand and to complete, and way more professional in marking time especially, and their coursework structure is SO much better than REAA, SO, in less than a week I am half finished so that speaks volumes does it not!
