REIV’s training transition: what new and current students should check

REIV announced on 19 February 2026 that it would phase out delivery of CPP41419 and CPP51122. It also said enrolled learners would receive support through completion. This is not an announcement that REIV itself has closed.

The official statement explains a shift toward professional development. It names the Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice and Diploma of Property (Agency Management), and makes a commitment to existing students. REIV transition announcement

The distinction matters. Someone looking for a new course needs to check current intake availability. Someone already enrolled needs to confirm the plan for finishing. A headline that simply says training has “stopped” leaves both groups without a useful next step.

The announcement also describes REIV’s view of market demand. It should not be treated as independent evidence that one price level or teaching model is best for every student.

Already enrolled? Ask for your completion plan

Request a written record of remaining units, assessment dates, trainer contact details and your course access end date. Ask what happens if you need reassessment, take leave or cannot finish within the planned period.

Keep the answer with your agreement and results. There is no need to assume a problem, but a clear plan is easier to follow than a general promise of support.

If a proposed change would affect your completion date, explain the practical impact. You may be balancing a job start, registration application or other commitments. Give the provider enough detail to discuss realistic options.

Looking for a course? Verify the new option

Use the national register to identify the issuing RTO and check its scope. Then compare actual course offers, including Victorian content, support and the award you will receive. A familiar industry name is one piece of context, not a substitute for checking the provider currently taking your enrolment. National RTO register

Keep transition and closure advice separate

A planned end to new enrolments differs from an unexpected provider closure. If a provider does close, ASQA advises students to gather training records and explore continuation options. Refund and tuition protection routes depend on the circumstances. ASQA closure guidance

Before transferring anywhere, ask the receiving RTO to confirm what it will recognise, what remains and the total fee. Avoid paying for a replacement course before you understand those details.

Next step: Use the Victoria student guide to confirm your next step as either an enrolled learner or a new applicant.
