Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifications do you need to be a property valuer?
Property valuation pathways typically start with a Diploma or Advanced Diploma and can extend to a Graduate Certificate or Master's Degree, such as the Master of Property Development. The right qualification depends on whether you're entering the industry or moving into a specialised or senior property role. Course level, structure and any licensing requirements vary by state, so check requirements with the relevant authority before enrolling.
What is the best way to learn property valuation online?
Online study through a registered RTO, TAFE or university lets you learn property valuation and related skills around work or other commitments. Courses like the Diploma of Facilities Management or Graduate Certificate in Property Development are delivered fully online, covering property, construction and management topics. Choosing a course that matches your career stage and preferred pace is the most practical way to build relevant knowledge.

Course duration for property-related qualifications available online ranges from around eight months for a Graduate Certificate to two years for a Diploma or Master's Degree. An Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing can take 12 to 24 months depending on your study pace. Actual time to qualify also depends on any additional licensing or registration steps required in your state.
