RIA School Of Real Estate

What RIA School Of Real Estate does

RIA School Of Real Estate (legally Realty International Associates Pte Ltd) is a Singapore-based, CEA-approved Approved Course Provider (ACP) appointed by the Council for Estate Agencies since 1982. The company delivers mandatory Real Estate Salesperson (RES) licensing examination preparation and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to aspiring and practicing real estate agents in Singapore, operating from a single training facility at HDB Hub Biz 3 in Toa Payoh with classroom and online Zoom delivery.

The product portfolio spans the entry-level RES Course at SGD $598 (covering CEA Paper 1 and Paper 2), 20+ CPD module topics in Prescribed Essentials, Professional Competencies, and Generic Competencies priced SGD $68-$228 per course, a 2-day CPD Conference bundle at SGD $228, and higher-margin mastery programs including Asset Progression Essentials (SGD $2,180-$2,725) and Financial Analysis for Real Estate (FARE, SGD $688). The underlying technology is a conventional training delivery stack: Zoom for virtual classrooms, Singpass-authenticated FormSG for exam registration, and PayPal/NETS/Visa/Mastercard for payments, with no proprietary platform or AI/ML infrastructure. RES examination administration is operated by NTUC LearningHub as CEA's appointed exam administrator since January 2022; RIA earns no exam fees.

Revenue is generated entirely from one-time course fees paid by individual students and a small enterprise channel (notably ERA Singapore, whose top-producing directors serve as trainers). The firm is privately held with no external funding, 5 employees, and operates exclusively in Singapore. Growth is driven by the intersection of statutory demand for RES licensing and CPD-compliance hours and the firm's ability to extend into premium mastery and AI-literacy courses.
