Peter Wright

Many thanks to RETAC for their thorough, clear, professional and helpful guidance, both verbally and via their comprehensive training materials – they are always available to help and assist in a concise and calm manner, and also happen to offer the best value for money training course too, highly recommended!

Chris Readett

I have just completed the Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management) through Real Estate Training Academy (RETAC) and have found that George and Darren were very helpful throughout my studies. They were always there to support me through the assessments and did so promptly. I found the enrolment process to be simple and the flexible study option really suited my needs as I work full-time. I would not hesitate in recommending RETAC to anyone who is looking to study within the real estate industry. Many thanks to George and Darren.

Michael Bogan

After a 4 year venture overseas I returned to South Australia to be involved in the Real Estate industry. I found out that I needed to retrain to be licensed so I explored the possibilities. I chose RETAC on the basis that George Ganter and Darren Hosne were able to offer me a flexible solution and I always if needed had their help. I would suggest to those wanting to learn the industry whether it be sales or property management that they give RETAC consideration.

Michelle Dey

I am delighted to have gained my Diploma in Property Services with the Real Estate Training Academy. The training has been of high standard with knowledgeable trainers who were approachable and more than willing to assist when needed. As a mother of 2 small children, I found the training to be flexible which assisted me in completing my study. The resources and materials were relevant and easy to read and comprehend and are a great resource for future reference. A big thank you to George and Darren for your support throughout my training.

Katherine Skinner

I completed my Diploma in Property Services through RETAC after comparing all the training options on offer. Given the flexibility of the study options, prompt receipt of all the course materials as well as the personalised ongoing support from George and Darren I was thrilled with my decision. Being a mum of 2, working from home and needing to complete the Diploma to move into a new position as soon as possible there is no way I would have been able to complete the course with such confidence and ease without the flexibility to study on my terms, at my pace and have my modules marked promptly with any queries addressed without hesitation or delay. I am so appreciative of the work George, Darren and the RETAC team provide to their students and cannot recommend them enough.

Swapna Arul Cherin

When I was looking to study a real estate agent course I found about the Real Estate Training Academy (RETAC). After discussions with others including past students of RETAC I decided that it was the right place to do my real estate education. RETAC’s flexible study options and payment plans were important to me in selecting the right training organisation. Right from the beginning George and Darren were very helpful. Darren ensured the enrollment went smoothly and George provided me with the support to complete this course efficiently. George was patient enough to answer all of my questions and the response was prompt. George is also highly knowledgeable and experienced and I feel proud that I had undertaken the training with his guidance. I really appreciate the way RETAC delivers real estate training and and I was very impressed with their administration and organisational skills. I have already recommended two of my friends who have since enrolled and undertaking studies at RETAC. I wish the Real Estate Training Academy and their staff the very best for their future endeavours. Thank you once again in helping to fulfill my dreams!

Justin Hanalla

I would like to thank the boys at RETAC for helping me become a licensed auctioneer. At the time of my enrollment, I only needed to complete 1 more topic which was no longer provided where I previously studied. RETAC were very flexible in getting me into the course that I needed to fast track my education. The course allowed me to study from home. An ideal situation as I was already in the Real Estate Industry at that point. The quality of the work provided and the assistance I received when needed was exemplary. I am so happy that I decided to study through RETAC. I am the Director of JHT Real Estate. We are growing every day. RETAC gave me the confidence to know when the time was right to hold an auction, I would know it. Thanks again lads.

Mir Rashid

It has been a pleasure completing my Certificate IV in Property Services at the Real Estate Training Academy. George and Darren were with me along the whole way making sure the work was understood. Plus the different study options make it so much easier to study on your own terms.

Annette Lind

I have really enjoyed doing my study at Real Estate Training Academy. Darren and George have been there all the way. Even on a Sunday – yes a Sunday! I did my study through their Online study option as I live 2.5 hours from Adelaide. Flexible study options was what I needed and it also supported my time-frame. I would finish a Cluster for assessment and the next day the results were sent to me! If I did not understand a question I would ask George who put it to me in a way I would understand. Thank you so much boys. Regards Annette

Luke Bailey

One of the big draw cards for me when enrolling was the flexibility of the study options. As I currently work away in the FIFO industry the only way I could complete the diploma was online and Enrolment was a breeze. I found all the content to be high quality and very up to date. I learned a lot more than I first anticipated which has prepared me well for a career in Real estate. Both Darren and George are very professional and supportive during the entire process. Any questions or queries I had regarding the assessments or study material they were very prompt and more than happy to assist. After completion George was happy to sit down and assist me with further questions I had regarding starting my career, and gave me lots of tips and tricks that come from years of experience. I would recommend anybody wanting a career of any sorts in property, to do their training with the Real Estate Training Academy, it may be one of your most valuable decisions!

Adam Pinzone

First and foremost I would like to thank George and Darren for their support and guidance while undertaking my Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate). The environment was friendly and accommodating to everyone who’s aim is to venture into the real estate sector. I am glad I chose to study with Real Estate Training Academy as it has equipped me with important industry skills and knowledge and helped me discover my career path.

Cristina Pop

It has been an amazing course to get through! The study modes were flexible as I was able to complete modules to suit my own commitments. I had the option of mixing external study with some day workshops or night classes. The training material was great and the trainer (George) is very experienced and knowledgeable and gave real examples. He is helpful when I needed assistance and accommodates after hours if needed. Overall I am very happy to have completed my course through Real Estate Training Academy – I got exceptional support from all staff and feedback was given promptly. Thank you George and Darren for your help and support during my studies towards achieving my qualification to be ready for my real estate career.

Virendra Sharma

Studying at the Real Estate Training Academy was a great experience. I feel confident that I have the skills and knowledge to work in the Real Estate industry. My course was well structured to develop understanding about the regulations and a range of industry skill sets and the trainers were always available for assistance and guidance. From enrolment, to the convenient payment options and throughout my studies, I was able to undertake training for a new career without any stress. I would most definitely recommend the Real Estate Training Academy to everyone looking towards working in real estate.

Nanette Daneshjoo

After 20 years in retail management I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a career that would utilise my sales and customer service skills so I decided Real Estate would be my new path. I enrolled with the Real Estate Training Academy after they were recommended to me by a relative who had a great experience at RETAC. The enrolment process was easily completed online. I liked the fact that I could do all my learning online and work at my own pace, balancing work, family and study. The online course work was easy to follow and to complete and submit for marking. I knew that if I had any questions that I could contact the trainer by email or phone. The night classes were also offered as an option if I wanted to attend for additional learning or clarification. My assessments were marked quickly and feedback always well received. I completed my Certificate IV in Property Services in just over 7 weeks and am so grateful for this chance at a fabulous new career in Real Estate. Thank you to the Real Estate Training Academy.

Nicki & Rob

We would like to say a huge thank you to the team at Real Estate Training Academy for their constant support over the course of our study! With a few bumps in the road to do with our work and other commitments, George and Darren provided us with guidance and flexibility throughout the course making it possible for us to achieve our final goal. We could not fault the experience these two gave us during the study process! We also love the confidence they have given us towards our real estate career goals and in knowing that George will continue to be there to guide and assist us.

Zabie Rezaee

I would like to thank George and Darren for all their help and assistance with completing my CPP50307 Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management). Being a student of the Real Estate Training Academy has been a great experience for me – I have learned a lot about the real estate sector! Again thanks to George and Darren of the Real Estate Training Academy for all the hard work they put into the course and for being incredibly helpful.

Karen Nelson

Being offered the opportunity to study Certificate IV Property Services with flexible study options suited my current full time employment in the real estate industry. The ability to enrol online as well as studying 100% distance based with support from trainers made the Real Estate Training Academy my perfect choice! Having the option to attend night classes if required gave me the peace of mind I needed. I found the work books easy to follow, very informative and the content made me revise how I complete some tasks now. Thank you to all at RETAC for your support!

Ned Looker

The Real Estate Training Academy was a treat to work with right from the get go. When I first started looking into getting my qualification there were so many sites offering so much stuff that it all got quite confusing. RETAC’s website gives great information on the front page and in the tabs. Communicating with George and Darren was very helpful as well – they both were very easy to deal with and were so knowledgeable about all the courses and what is required to move down the path I desired. Once all the enrolment was completed I was able to get started with the course. I did this just before Christmas and was fully online, and lucky for me it was super flexible and on my own terms so I ended up completing it by mid February, including being able to do it in and around my holiday travel. Again, through the course both George and Darren were brilliant resources and gave brilliant hints and support that led me in the right direction to find the answers doing my own research. If you put a bit of effort in, the course is pretty straight forward with comprehensive materials provided and gives you so much potential in the industry when all is complete. Thanks for everything!

Cathy Dalton

I would like to pass on my sincerest thanks to RETAC, especially to my trainer and assessor George and to Darren in admin. I only needed to complete 8 units and RETAC met my needs perfectly and the enrolment process was seamless. The online study option was great because I could complete the units in my time and at home. The workbooks were very comprehensive and the assessments were clear and concise and relevant to the units I was undertaking. My assessments were marked within 24 hours and sometimes on the same day – now that is what I call efficient! I highly recommend online training with RETAC – a very professional training provider!

Steve Jackson

Thank you for your assistance in achieving my educational goals. I am writing to commend my experience with the Real Estate Training Academy. My involvement exceeded my expectations. The ease of enrollment, flexibility of study options, course materials and support from trainers and staff was excellent. The ability to conduct the study and assessment over the internet was the solution I wanted. I am most impressed with the feedback and promptness of assessment. This was a professional and encouraging event.

Katrina Nelsen

With a career change came the daunting prospect of study. I chose the online study mode so I could progress through the course at my own pace, whilst working in my new job. The enrolment process was easy, the study modules were easy to follow and the materials were very comprehensive and up to date in the course material. Night classes were offered if help was needed, but because I was unable to attend due to work and distance to travel, I knew George and Darren were only a call or email away, and would answer any query I had promptly. Assignments were marked quickly, usually within an hour and feedback was always positive and encouraging. For someone computer illiterate like myself, I found the online modules user friendly and easy to navigate through. I cannot thank you guys enough, and would definitely recommend Real Estate Training Academy to anyone wanting a career in real estate.

Norm Hill

Thanks for everything and I hope we can continue to use each others services over the coming years. Love the course and the Assistance you provided when needed. Would recommend you to anyone!!

Molly Jensen

Before enrolling I was unsure of how studying online with a training organisation would go. I was pleasantly surprised from the first email exchange and conversation with the Real Estate Training Academy team. Straight away I felt supported and a level of warmth. Throughout the course the trainers and admin staff were able to promptly answer my questions and provide helpful feedback. I chose to study with the Real Estate Training Academy for the flexibilty – and I’m glad I did. I would say to anyone else looking to study a real estate qualification at the Real Estate Training Academy that you get more than just flexible study options, you get the genuine support from George and Darren. This is what stood out for me.

Bruce Farrow

In this testimonial I would like to convey my sincerest thanks to the team at the Real Estate Training Academy for making my recent study experience for a Dip. of Property Services a very good one. Getting back into study after a long time could have been quite difficult but for the attentive and consistent supportive provided by the training team. From my enrollment through to completion I always felt if I required assistance I would receive it promptly and thoughtfully. The course material was excellent and the value was certainly there, especially as the support was always at hand and at a high standard. Congratulations for running a first class training organisation.

Peter Wright

Riley Veale

I recently completed the Residential Property Management program at the Real Estate Training Academy. I loved the fact that there is the choice to go into the classes or study online. The lecturers are extremely nice and explained complicated units in a fun way. The learning environment has a warm and welcoming feeling. Thank you for making my learning fun and for helping me gain a lot of valuable knowledge. I hope to further my education through the Real Estate Training Academy again!

Pieter Haverhoek

RETAC enabled me to approach the Diploma on my own terms, which meant being flexible by allowing me to study off-campus and at my own speed. At the same time I was able to speak with them everyday to discuss any questions and seek clarity on the modules. I have not studied for 17 years, but found their training material to be logical and approachable to work with. It allowed me to dive into the course with confidence. I had assumed that this Diploma was only available by attending fixed schedule courses in a format that did not really suit my work life. RETAC have changed that, and their flexible approach was of great benefit to me. Their answer was always ‘yes’, they are willing to help, to make the learning process about you and not about fixed ideas on what it should be. Thanks George and Darren for all your help.

Tony Cheyne

I enrolled with the Real Estate Training Academy in May 2017 to study for a Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management). I have to say the enrolment process was very straight forward and simple and easy to understand. The option of studying on-line or in a classroom satisfied my requirements and I found out very quickly that the two options supported each other admirably, at least until half of the clusters were successfully completed. By that stage I had a much clearer understanding of what was required and was able to succeed just with the on-line facility. The lecturers were both entertaining and informative and if I had lived closer I would have attended more of their classes because they certainly added to the depth of my knowledge with their personal experience stories and various anecdotes, which gave colour and clarity to the subject. In addition there was always the on-line help when needed. Emails listing questions or a need for elaboration were answered immediately and clearly and provided that encouragement when the pressure was on. That being said, I don’t claim any notable ability to study but I did note I had plenty of time to finish all my reading and assessments without any time restraints. I have finished the course today and feel very satisfied with my results and satisfactorily educated on the Real Estate world.

George Pishas

Being able to study on my terms allowed me the opportunity to complete the Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) & then the Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management) at my own pace. From day one beginning with the enrollment process George & Darren were very understanding towards my work commitments and George guided and supported me right through to completion of both qualifications. The option to study online and with their training material easy to use allowed me to work at my own pace – which I found was fantastic. George’s knowledge and experience within the industry was so important as he gave me real-world examples when needed. George was also very available to discuss any questions via phone, email or face-to-face. I would recommend anyone wanting a career in real estate to study at Real Estate Training Academy. Thank you George & Darren

Sam Scarfo

I recently completed my licence to perform auctions with the Academy and the team there were great. The trainers were helpful, full of knowledge and easy to get along with and they were always there and ready to talk when I needed the help. I would highly recommend the Academy to anyone thinking of completing this course.

Matthew Watts

My experience with Real Estate Training Academy was fantastic! The flexibility offered via the online learning platform was perfect for my situation and really allowed me to move through the material and assessments at a pace that suited me. Even though the course delivery was online, I was well supported and never felt alone. My questions were always answered quickly and thoroughly and all my assessments were marked extremely quickly. I would highly recommend the Real Estate Training Academy to anyone who was looking to start a career in real estate.

Robbie Fiacchi

The team at RETAC were great to deal with from the outset, clearly outlining their learning options available. As I am employed full-time, I decided to do the course online as it enabled me to work at my own pace and in my own time. George and Darren were available to talk whenever I needed them and promptly replied to all email enquiries and assessment outcomes; Their knowledge is apparent and they are only too happy to assist. I would highly recommend the Diploma of Property Services for anyone looking to get into the real estate industry and using the services of RETAC to complete the course.

Tina Papageorgiou

I recently completed the CPP40307 Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate). I found the enrollment process easy to follow and the course flexible and responsive to my needs. George was very professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Both George and Darren were very supportive throughout my studies and always available to assist. I highly recommend the Real Estate Training Academy to anyone wanting to study and pursue a career in Real Estate. Thank you George and Darren.

Marcus Watts

After comparing all the options available I decided on the Real Estate Training Academy for my real estate qualification based on their professionalism and how their course fit my requirements. Enrolment was a breeze and not long after my enrolment I completed my first module. My main requirement was to complete the course as soon as possible as I had been offered a job and couldn’t start until I’d completed the course. I completed the course within the time-frame I set for myself and having existing industry knowledge assisted me with my time-frame. I found George to be supportive and professional. Even after I completed George made himself available to provide me with guidance on career opportunities in the real estate industry. I am now employed at Belle Property and I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone and ask George a question. Hats off to the Real Estate Training Academy for providing me with a truly end to end service.

Julie Bakasetas

It feels great to have successfully completed the Certificate IV in Property Services. This course has given me the skills and confidence necessary to enter a career in Real Estate. George was very professional, knowledgeable and guidance was available whenever needed. Recommending the Real Estate Training Academy to anyone would be my pleasure! Thank you George and Darren for your support.

Shaun Thomas

I upgraded from my Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) to the Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management) at the Real Estate Training Academy. I found the course resources and readings really easy to use, informative and interesting. From enrollment the process was straight forward and during my studies everything I needed to know was explained clearly. The online study option helped me to achieve my Diploma and allowed me to work at my own pace. Whenever I needed assistance I was promptly assisted by George and Darren – both staff being friendly and well informed. Thanks again George and Darren!

Verity Thompson

Enrolment with RETAC was easy and stress free, detailing all aspects of the courses offered and study options suited to individual circumstances. Trainers were knowledgeable and extremely helpful, sharing their experiences within the Industry. I attended day classes, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, my trainer George, with his wonderful sense of humour and enlightening stories, and making new friends made the experience one to remember. George and Darren were readily available if extra guidance was needed and provided continuous encouragement and support. Thank you, George and Darren.

Laxmikant Pawar

I highly recommend the Real Estate Training Academy. I really appreciated the support of George and the other staff throughout my training journey. I was referred by a friend who also studied at the Real Estate Training Academy – who said that the flexible study options and support meant she did not have to make too many personal sacrifices. I am a working professional with 2 little kids and building my own home so it was not possible nor practical for me to have to come to all classes. The trainers and admin staff made the process flexible for me, from enrolment to course completion. George was very helpful and always quick to answer all of my questions. The resource quality was excellent and the readings and assessments were easy to understand. The guidance provided, when I needed it, was also readily available. Support from you guys was amazing and that helped me to complete the course. I will happily refer the Real Estate Training Academy to all my colleagues and friends! Thank you George and Darren for your amazing support.

Cathryn Honor

A friend recommended the Real Estate Training Academy to me as the ideal place to study for my Sales Representative license. I needed the flexibility to study and complete it within a specific time frame as I had a real estate position waiting. I was able to devote full time hours to my course and thereby completing it within the time-frame I had set for myself. George and Darren were always a phone call and/or an email away if I needed assistance with my course. George would always guide me towards finding a solution to my questions. I was impressed with the response times from when my assessments were submitted to them being marked, which was usually within 24 -36 hours. I previously studied in another State but had to complete many more modules to work in SA. George’s support and marking was incredibly prompt compared to my previous course. I could also drop into their office to discuss aspects of the course such as the Acts and legislation in SA. I highly recommend the Real Estate Training Academy and have already steered a number of potential students to their door wanting to enter the field of Real Estate. Thank you Real Estate Training Academy for your professional manner and prompt guidance in helping me achieve my qualification towards successfully gaining my Sales Representative license!

Manoj Pant

I recently completed my CPP50307 Diploma of Property Management (Agency Management) at the Real Estate Training Academy. Throughout my time at RETAC their team proved to be especially helpful. George and Darren were always available to help, irrespective which day it may have been. I found RETAC’s flexible study options, such as online, distance learning and two night classes in a week, to be of real benefit while studying this course. I recommend Real Estate Training Academy to those considering their real estate training options as there is no better place to study real estate! Go and meet the RETAC team and I assure you; you won’t regret it! Many thanks to George and Darren!

Corey Sinclair

Completing my CPP40307 Certificate IV in Property Services (Real Estate) at the Real Estate Training Academy was extremely enjoyable and well structured. The course has given me the essential knowledge I will need for my chosen career and I am sure this will set me up for success! George and Darren were always easily accessible to provide assistance and guidance along the entire training journey and I can’t thank them enough. I found the course easy to enrol in and the online study option was very flexible and included quality study methods. I look forward to starting my career in Real Estate!

James McIntyre

The online study platform for this course allows flexibility, great constructive support and above all, it teaches in a way you are always learning, and thinking outside the box. I looked at all the courses available, and online for my personal situation was the choice for me, I found this course was the most flexible in payment structure, the support even on weekends was great, all round if you want the certificate, this is the Training Organisation to deal with. George, Darren…….Thank You!!

Hardik Shukla

My experience at the Real Estate Training Academy was great! The trainers and support staff were very much helpful, accessible and committed. The great flexible study options allowed me to study from home and I still had the option to attend classes. I would especially like to thank George Ganter for all his support and for sharing his knowledge. I would like to express my appreciation to the other trainers and admin for their support. I thoroughly recommend attending the Real Estate Training Academy!

Nicole Nemet

If anyone is considering studying Real Estate I would highly recommend Real Estate Training Academy. I had “shopped around” for the best training provider and Real Estate Training Academy came out on top by far. There was no issue with enrollment, this was very quick and easy. I choose to study online as I work full time and having 2 children made going to classes a little bit challenging. Choosing online, I was a little bit anxious I would struggle with not having that face-to-face contact, but Darren and George were so supportive and were always there for me with every question I had. You also get invited to attend the night classes if need be, but I didn’t feel the need, as I had the support I needed. The course and the online modules were very user friendly, easy to navigate your way through. Honestly I could not recommend Real Estate Training Academy any higher – You will not be disappointed!!

Rhys Gebethner

Thank you for creating a very easy and simple course. With the ease of flexible enrolment and study options, I was able to complete almost everything via correspondence at my own pace. This was invaluable while still working in the industry. The quality of the training staff and support from both George and Darren when I needed clarification was timely and extremely helpful. I highly recommend the Real Estate Training Academy for both their quality and professionalism.

Nabin Kambang

I recently completed my CPP50307 Diploma of Property Services (Agency Management) at the Real Estate Training Academy. I was more than pleased with the ongoing support and information provided to me. I felt that our trainer, George, went above and beyond his necessary duties in helping me find my feet, and to excel in my course work which made me feel positive about my future in real estate. The course material and assessments were presented in a way that was fun and easy to comprehend. The Real Estate Training Academy has left me feeling positive about my future real estate career. I truly thank George and Darren – I know they will continue to offer excellent service to others as they did me.

Brandon O’Connell

My experience with the Real Estate Training Academy was very positive. George & Darren were very helpful throughout the enrolment and training process. Studying online whilst working in the industry was easy and straight forward. The course material was easily accessible and understandable and the online E-learning platform was fluid. When I messaged George or Darren for guidance or assistance their response was prompt and helpful. I would recommend any potential students to the Real Estate Training Academy for their studies in real estate.

Madelin Oliver

I started working at Professionals Real Estate in Murray Bridge in 2011 in administration, and gradually transitioned into property management & sales support. I completed my Cert IV in Property Services (Real Estate) at the Real Estate Training Academy in 2016 & was immediately promoted to a position as a Sales Representative. In my first 12 months I have sold & settled over 25 properties. Within the Professionals South Australia group, I have recently been awarded with: Corporate Support of the Year Award (2016), Top Rising Star Award (January-March 2017), Top Rising Star Award (April-June 2017).

I commend George and Darren from the Real Estate Training Academy for providing great training and support. I appreciated in particular the flexibility provided through several study options, the speed of returning feedback on assignments and their helpful guidance on specific questions. The training the Real Estate Training Academy offered me was tailored to the real estate industry and to my needs. Thank you and well done!

Toby Hundertmark

I found the RETAC online after constant road blocks on my path to get my RLA. Darren and George were both extremely helpful in the enrolment process, and outlining the manner in which the study would be undertaken. Having recently started my own business after several years in commercial property, the trainers allowed me to express my own views and experiences when completing the course work. Any questions I had were promptly responded to, and phone calls were always answered. I could not fault the experience, and I look forward to remaining in contact with Darren and George as I progress with my career. Hundertmark Consulting, Principal

Paresh Shah

I highly recommend people study at the Real Estate Training Academy!
