What is a training agreement?
A training agreement is a legal contract between you, the Salesperson, your Licensee, and the REINZ ITO that outlines your training and assessment requirements. It allows training to be subsidised and has a timeframe for completing the training.
The Salesperson will need to sign the training agreement to say they will do the study; their Licensee will sign it to say they will support the Salesperson with their study; and REINZ ITO will sign it to say that it will provide the tools and resources to learn.
