    The reason I ask this is because I found the course at REIV for 795 and than the course at swinburne for 4500 ? but the thing is they're both the same units would swinburne be much better off ? or would I just be stupid to pay 3000 more for the same course just to attain a agents representative certificate ?

    Probably the cheaper course would be better – its not rocket science and big savings there.

    Yes ridiculous to pay the higher amount merely to gain the same piece of paper.

    In saying that make sure you are comparing apples with apples and that one is not the Agents Rep Cert and the other is a Full License.

    I'm about to do mine thru

     http://www.apeicourses.com/

    can't vouch for it yet (& I plan to do full agents licence flyer the 1st 3 you need to be a rep)

    reason I chose them is

    1 cost (also check out the funding avail via gov)

    2 by distance – I have 2 young children & live in the country

    As long as the qualification fulfills the legal obligations then go for the cheapest.

    All of your real learning will be "on the job" anyway.

    That was my experience when attaining my Finance Brokers license.
