Real Estate Institute of South Australia Inc. / REISA

Rang REISA last week for a general query and the person who answered my call was definitely not interested in helping.don't waste your time ringing them for any advise!
if there was an option of negative rating, I would have given that! Useless.

Belligerent, condescending misogynist Peter talked over the top of me. They protect their members' bad behaviour. I see the issue is a Top Down process. Can't wait for the response defending his verbal abuse of me on the phone

I was required to contact Paul Edwards during the current COVID lock down for direction regarding a new tenancy during this difficult period. Paul was available to both the tenants and myself to help clarify the situation for us with a happy outcome! Thank you Paul, your assistance was appreciated and your industry knowledge is very valuable!

The staff teaching are not proper educators just real estate people who make extra money by chatting to staff about their own experiences. Not qualified educators. They are not conducting proper tutorials or lectures, just chat sessions day after day, week after week. The marking of assessmments is appalling. You are not given a accurate percentage based on the actual questions that are right. The staff just look at any answers at random, after the student has submitted their work for marking and determine if that answer is a pass or fail. Even, if you have passed with 50%, overall which is the standard at any university, or educational institution. At REISA you could have 80% correct answers. However, they can make you resubmit, time and time again for just a few answers or just one. Even, if you have passed with 50%, or more. Crazy system, because most people need to get on with their lives, and not be resubmitting for weeks, and weeks after the course has finished. How do the vocational educational standards allow the work to be marked like this? When all the other educational institutions allow 50%, for a pass? REISA put through as many students as possible, even though, REISA know the real esrate positions are not out there for them. The course is not worth the money you pay. The office staff have poor communication skills, and believe it is their right to speak down to students. A lot of the students have university degrees, are holding or have held very senior positions. Very poor, the government, or education department need to look into this, and change REISA. Very poor value for the huge amount of money you pay.

The REISA certification for property management is awful. Their software for the delivery of the content is poorly designed and makes it hard to study on your own terms (can't use without internet and can't print pages). Every other institution seems to manage this ok. It seems like their 'trainers' don't actually have a deep understanding of how to educate people, or design a system that helps and encourages learning. Instead they are very pedantic and demoralising. Stick to the legal side of real estate and get someone else to deliver your training. Anyone who gives their courses a better review obviously work for REISA

When it comes to training, REISA is terrible. They obviously have no idea about teaching/learning/training. They also waste a lot of time by nitpicking tiny mistakes, and asking for amendments, rather than having a proper grade or pass standards. To access their system, you have to be connected to the internet, which is not good for studying while traveling. It is also not possible to print out a pdf, which is not helpful. They could come up with any reason they want, but almost any other course would have that option, including UNIs and TAFE.

We were pleased to have a visit from Greg Troughton, CEO of REISA seeking feedback on the REISA training course. Our impression is that our team member who recently completed a Certificate 4 at REISA found it a challenging yet a very valuable learning experience. As the Agency Principal I believe that the training had a favourable impact on the employee's performance.

Do yourself a favor, study real estate anywhere else. Staff at this institution come cross as very condescending, unsupportive, they will find the smallest things to have you resubmit your work, refuse to provide help or guidance, they expect you to understand everything just by reading the textbook on your own.

Do the online course and expect to finish it on time. The trainer always ask to fix every single mistake in the assessments. Have to resubmit again and again for just few errors. Also, some questions required to write for 15-20 words. But the trainer feedback always ask for more clarification and explain. And found it so ridiculous.

Finished a course here a while back. Not well organised reading material, which does not help you to complete the questions and they always want to finish early. You have paid good money to be there and being sent home early is a rip off. Night classes are from 6: 15pm to 9pm and they send you home at 8: 30pm. What a waste of my money. Go to the other mob in the city. Give this place a miss.

Complaint re Adcorp Property Management ages ago, but not heard from anybody. Assume the REI just backs up members and not interested in hearing/dealing with real estate agents issues customers experience.

Interesting and sometimes challenging course. Course trainer is Professional an engaging with a good sense of humor.
Rewarding few days.
