Breaking into real estate shouldn’t take years. At Vertical Training College (VTC), our accelerated pathway helps students complete qualifications 2.1x faster than the NSW average while maintaining a 94% first-time pass rate (NSW Fair Trading, 2023). Here’s how we’ve redefined speed-to-license without sacrificing quality:
The NSW Licensing Timeline: Traditional vs. VTC

| License Processing | 28 days (avg.) | 9 days (avg.) | 68% faster |
| Total Time | 7-10 months | 3-4 months | 57% faster |

- Central Coast: 42% more sales YoY

2. Earn Sooner, Earn More
The opportunity cost of delayed licensing:

- $52,500 = Potential 6-month income loss on traditional pathway
