Consumer Warning: RTO Mills Active in NSW

State regulators are currently targeting providers offering "fast-track" certificates under $1,500. These may not be accepted by Fair Trading for licensing.

Protect your investment: In NSW, the pathway typically starts as an Assistant Agent. Progression to Class 2 and then Class 1 licenses requires further qualifications and experience. Always verify current requirements with NSW Fair Trading.

Before enrolling, review the CPP41419 Fee Transparency Guide and understand your refund rights.
