Stock and Station Agent course
If you love country life and want to sell real estate, livestock and chattels on behalf of farmers and graziers, then the stock and station agent course is for you.
You can obtain this qualification in one of the following two ways:
- Enrol in the Dual CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (Stock and Station).
- If you already have a CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice, or equivalent, enrol to complete the five units in the stock and station elective unit cluster.
Both these pathways qualify you to apply for a Stock and Station Agent’s Licence from NSW Fair Trading.
With a stock and station agent course you can appraise, auction and sell:
- parcels of rural land in excess of 20 hectares
- livestock such as cows, sheep, pigs, horses and goats (but not poultry)
- chattels, which are usually defined as personal property that can be moved.

Frequently asked questions
What does a stock and station agent do?
Stock and station agents provide timely and relevant advice to clients concerning the sale and purchase of rural property, livestock, crops and agricultural products and services. In some instances, the agent might even act on their behalf. The day-to-day life of a stock and station agent includes:
- In-depth consultation with vendors to set reserve prices on products.
- Asking for and potentially setting opening bids for auctions.
- Accepting suitable bids from potential buyers and closing sales to the highest bidders on behalf of clients.
- Assist in selling agricultural supplies, including grains, sprays, seed, feed, dips, drenches and veterinary products.
- Appraisals and listing of property for upcoming auctions.
- Act in line with state and federal regulatory requirements.
- Organising and distributing advertising, catalogues, and other publicity for auctions.
- Purchase and sell necessary livestock and rural property on behalf of their clients.
Is the stock and station agent course all I need to complete?
No, completing the course will not automatically make you a stock and station agent. After completing the required units with Entry Education, you will then need to apply for a stock and station agent licence with Service NSW. There you will be able to use your qualifications achieved through Entry Education and other important business information to secure your licence and get trading!
Why do I need to complete the livestock training course?
It’s a requirement of NSW Fair Trading that any real estate agent who auctions and sells livestock, chattels or property in excess of 20 hectares holds a current Stock and Station Agent’s Licence.
To qualify for this licence from NSW Fair Trading, you must hold both a CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice plus the five units in the stock and station elective unit cluster offered by Entry Education.
You can obtain this qualification by completing the Dual CPP41419 Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice that includes the five stock and station elective units, or, if you hold a current real estate licence, you can complete the five stock and station elective units on their own.
