What is the RES course?
It is the compulsory examination preparatory course for anyone who wants to sit the RES examination. It is run by Approved Course Providers (ACPs) appointed by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA).
What does the RES syllabus cover?
Four competency units: the real estate agency industry and basic land law; dealings with interests in land; regulation of the industry and real estate marketing; and property transactions, including taxes and financial calculations.
What is changing in 2027?
CEA has revised the RES Examination Syllabus. The revised syllabus applies to examinations from 1 January 2027. Course providers are running intakes under both structures during the transition, so check which syllabus your intake follows before you register.
I studied under the current syllabus. What if I sit the exam in 2027?
You will be examined on the revised syllabus. Ask your course provider whether it offers bridging classes on the key changes.
How much does the RES course cost?
Each Approved Course Provider sets its own fee, and the fee can differ between the current and revised syllabus courses. The exam fee is paid separately. Compare providers, then use the budget picker on this page to total your costs.
