Course Requirement for New Entrants:
​
New entrants must meet the educational qualification of at least 4 GCE O-level passes or equivalent, which is one of the regulatory requirements for salespersons.
CEA accepts combined GCE O-level results taken at not more than 2 sittings.
​
Candidates who wish to submit their qualifications (e.g. overseas qualifications or private diplomas) for assessment to determine if the qualifications meet the educational qualification requirement may email their academic certificates, academic transcripts, any other supporting documents together with the completed Educational Qualification Assessment form to CEA at licensing@cea.gov.sg.
​
Candidates must attach all supporting documents when submitting their application. CEA does not accept education certificates certified by a notary public as a form of verification proof.
Candidates without original copies of the graduation certificates, are required to provide a letter of confirmation of award/duplicate copy from the issuing institutions/universities.
For bachelor and above qualifications from China, candidates are required to provide a verification proof either from the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center (CHSI) or China Academic Degrees & Graduate Education Information (CDGDC) if they do not have the original copies of their certificates. CEA will inform the candidate of the outcome of the qualification assessment.
​
Qualifications assessed to be accepted in lieu of 4 GCE O-level passes for the purpose of RES course registration, RES examination registration, and registration to be a salesperson, are valid for a period of 3 years from the date of CEA's notification of the acceptance.
A fresh application has to be re-submitted to CEA for qualification assessment once the 3-year period lapses.
Applicants who have attained Level 5 and above for the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy (WPLN) assessment in these 5 components (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing and Numeracy) will be recognised to have met the minimum qualification requirement of 4 GCE O-level passes. Find out more about the WPLN Assessment (PDF, 935KB), and register at the British Council.

​
The Real Estate Salesperson (RES) Examination consists of two papers, Paper 1 and Paper 2.
The duration of each paper is 2½ hours.
​
The format of both Paper 1 and Paper 2 is as follows:
​
Section A : 50 MCQs (50 marks)
Section B : 15 MCQs with reference to 1 or 2 Case Studies (30 marks)
Section C : 10 Fill-in-the-blank Short Answer Questions (20 marks)
Duration : 2 ½ hours per paper
Candidates who have passed any one paper of the RES examination are allowed to retake the examination in modular sitting. The examination results will be in one of the following formats:
-
Pass (P)
-
Fail (F)
-
Pass Paper 1; Fail Paper 2 (P1 F2)
-
Fail Paper 1; Pass Paper 2 (F1 P2)
Important Note: There is no change to the examination requirements for RES course participants to pass the RES examination, comprising two papers, within 2 years from the date of issuance of the RES course completion certificate.
For candidates with a modular pass in one paper of the RES examination, they are required to pass the remaining paper within the 2-year timeframe.
Should they fail to do so, the modular pass in one paper will not be valid and candidates will have to re-take the RES course before attempting the RES examination (i.e. both Paper 1 and Paper 2) again.
