Four disciplines, one team, one relationship.

01
What We Do

CPD and Consultancy, Delivered Together

Small teams and agencies don’t need a stack of point solutions and a rolodex of consultants. We combine both under one relationship: the technology to run CPD and compliance, and the advisory to run the wider business.

CPD and Compliance Platform

Course Delivery

Live sessions, structured self-paced content, quizzes, and completion tracking. Mapped cleanly to your annual training requirements.

Verifiable Attendance

Identity check at enrolment, live verification at session start, mid-session checkpoints, tamper-evident event log. Designed to answer the attendance-fraud problem the industry already knows about.

Faster CPDS Submission

Attendance sync to the Council for Estate Agencies’ CPD System in the exact format expected. Same-day certificates instead of the usual multi-day wait.

Dashboards for KEOs and Agencies

Track bucket balances across your salespersons. Approve Self-Directed Learning in one workflow. See renewal risk before it becomes a problem.

Consultancy for the Wider Business

Compliance and Risk

AML, PMLPFTF, CEA rule interpretation, KYC processes, PDPA. Practical set-up that stands up to audit, not a policy binder that gathers dust.

Marketing and Client Acquisition

Positioning, content, campaigns, digital presence, lead qualification. Focused on channels that actually convert for Singapore real estate.

Operations and Systems

CRM setup, document workflows, e-signature, deal pipeline hygiene, tooling choices. The unglamorous plumbing that makes a small team run like a bigger one.

Business Setup and Growth

Company formation, accountancy set-up, licensing decisions, hiring plans, path to scale. Guidance for founders who want to build a serious agency, not just a book of business.

CEA CPD 2026

CPD Requirements 2026, Answered

The Council for Estate Agencies revised the CPD framework from 1 January 2026. Here is what every real estate salesperson and KEO in Singapore needs to know.

How many CPD hours do real estate salespersons need in 2026?
Every active real estate salesperson in Singapore must complete a minimum of 16 training hours per CPD cycle. From 2026 the cycle follows the calendar year, running 1 January to 31 December.
What are the PE, PC and SDL buckets?
The 16 hours split into three buckets. Prescribed Essential (PE): at least 4 hours on a critical topic set by CEA each year. Professional Competencies (PC): at least 8 hours of CEA-accredited real estate practice skills. Self-Directed Learning (SDL): at least 4 hours of broader professional development, verified by your KEO.
What is the Prescribed Essential topic for 2026?
For 2026 the PE topic is Prevention of Money Laundering and Proliferation Financing / Terrorism Financing (PMLPFTF). For 2027, CEA has designated Law, Regulations and Ethics.
Can unused CPD hours be carried forward to next year?
No. Excess hours do not carry forward. All 16 hours must be completed within the same calendar year, and hours are counted on contact time, excluding breaks, rounded down.
Who verifies Self-Directed Learning hours?
Your Key Executive Officer (KEO). The KEO reviews each SDL submission and awards the hours, making KEO workflow a critical part of every agency’s CPD compliance.
When do newly registered salespersons start CPD?
A newly registered RES starts CPD from the next calendar-year cycle after registration, not the year they register.
What happens if the 16 hours are not completed?
Completing the CPD requirement within the calendar year is a condition for renewing your salesperson registration with CEA. Falling short puts your renewal at risk, which is why agencies track bucket balances through the year rather than scrambling in December.
How can an agency track CPD across its team?
Most agencies still track hours in spreadsheets across multiple course providers. Real Estate Academy is building dashboards that track each salesperson’s PE, PC and SDL balances in one place, flag renewal risk early, and give KEOs a single workflow for SDL verification.
