Using CPP07 in the PDSM Sector

The CPP07 Property Services Training Package is the endorsed benchmark which relates units of competency to national qualifications, and provides guidelines for assessment for the Property Development, Sales and Management Sector. Training Packages are developed by industry to meet current and emerging skills needs. They enable RTOs to develop flexible training programs to meet particular enterprise, regional or individual training needs, while maintaining the core integrity of a national qualification.

The CPP07 Training Package now includes the redeveloped qualifications framework and units of competency for the new Property Development, Sales and Management Sector (PDSM). The areas of industry that form this sector were represented in the former PRD01 Property Development and Management Training Package, including:

§ real estate

§ business broking

§ property operations and management

§ stock and station agency.

These areas have been redeveloped and amalgamated in recognition of industry practice and to facilitate greater flexibility and relevance with regard to training and assessment. The processes of development and review which have been undertaken since 1993 have ensured the qualifications and units of competency remain relevant and provide effective coverage of the sector's current and emerging skill needs.
