Applying for a Course

CEA requires all new entrants to take a compulsory REA/ RES exam preparatory course before taking the respective examinations. Please note that only courses provided by CEA Approved Course Providers will be recognised for licensing/ registration purposes.

If you are an existing salesperson registered with CEA and have yet to pass an industry exam before 31 Dec 2010, you will not be required but are encouraged to take the exam preparatory courses before registering to take the REA/ RES examination.

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.

Applicants having other qualifications (eg. overseas qualifications or private diplomas etc.) will need to have their qualifications assessed by CEA for purpose of determining whether the educational qualification requirement is met. They may submit scanned copies (limit to 5Mb maximum) of their qualifications together with the Request Form via e-mail to the Approved Course Provider which they are interested to enrol for the course.

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 in lieu of 4 GCE "O" level passes. Information on the WPLN programme which is administered by WDA can be found here .
