No. Residential leasing gives you a strong base. Many candidates start with a small commercial brief or a support role (Leasing Assistant/Analyst, Lease Admin, Assistant PM) while they upskill.
Not necessarily. Many hires come from agency PM or leasing. Show you understand owner outcomes (income up, vacancy down, smart capital expenditure spend).
Residential leasing/PM teams with strong local relationships who want to add small commercial leases without pausing residential income.

Often, yes—commercial leases are larger and multi-year. The ranges in the diagram show typical AU salaries by role; many see a 20–40% uplift once established. Expect a ramp period and fewer (but bigger) deals.
Sometimes. Roles like Assistant Asset Manager, In-House Leasing Coordinator, or Portfolio/Investment Analyst are common entry points. The trade-off is stable base + bonus and a higher long-term ceiling.
It depends on your state/territory and your current licence class. Check your regulator (e.g., Fair Trading/Consumer Affairs) and your agency’s licence conditions.

Mostly no. Commercial inspections, negotiations, and sign-offs are usually Monday–Friday with business clients.
Outcomes, not tasks: rent uplift %, vacancy reduction, annual income added, cost savings, simple payback on upgrades, portfolio size and asset types.
You’ll work through Proposal → Heads of Agreement (HoA) → Agreement for Lease (AFL) → Lease, with more stakeholders and confidentiality (NDAs) as standard.
Short Courses are focused, time-efficient learning topics designed to build specific skills or knowledge in a particular area—without the time commitment of a full course program. They’re ideal for professionals looking to upskill quickly, explore a new topic, or gain practical insights they can apply immediately in their work. Our Short Courses are 100% online, allowing for flexible, self-paced learning.
Typically weeks to months. Expect a staged process (brief/proposal → Heads of Agreement → Agreement for Lease → Lease) with more stakeholders (solicitors, PMs, contractors).
Budgeting & variance, simple underwriting (rent roll → income; capex → payback/ROI), renewal strategy, and stakeholder communication with owners, lenders and lawyers.
Expect weeks to months. Plan pipeline and cash flow accordingly; build in follow-on work (renewals, rent reviews, options).
When you choose our Customised Learning Paths plan, we will hand-pick courses from our existing library to create a targeted learning path for you.
Why Customised Learning Paths?
We organise focus topics from our extensive course library that will support cohorts throughout the first 3 months or even the next 12 months of their commercial property project.
Talk to us and we can help you customise your learning paths.
Understanding how lease terms drive cash flow (incentives, rent reviews, outgoings, securities, make-good), clear communication, and clean document handling. Basic Excel (calculating net effective rent) is a plus.
Helpful, not mandatory. Comfortable Excel and clear business cases beat complex models for most junior client-side roles. Advanced study can come later.
A CRM, email templates, a basic Effective Rent calculator, and explainer sheets for incentives, reviews, outgoings, securities, make-good.
When you choose our Bespoke Courses plan, our team of experts will write a new course specific to your unique needs.
Why Bespoke Courses?
We can develop self-service and accredited courses for businesses everywhere. Our Bespoke Training Services offer course development in a topic close to your heart. Our dedicated group of researchers, teachers, accredited trainers and course developers are ready to write a bespoke course that meets the needs of your staff development and customer.
Talk to us and we can help you develop your courses.
Results, not tasks. Example: “Renewals +5% vs prior, vacancy down 3 pts, +$120k annual rent.” Include building types, portfolio size, and any work on term sheets/renewals.
Less reactive work orders; more planning, analysis and meetings. Workload increases around budgets, reforecasts and major lease decisions.
Use a short engagement letter (scope, fees, timelines, confidentiality, not legal/financial advice). Maintain PI/E&O insurance and keep an issues log.
The difference between these courses are as followed:
Short Course: Ideal for quick, subject-specific learning without a significant time commitment. Short courses are dozens of focused topics to help you build skills efficiently.
Customised Learning Path: Perfect for teams that don’t need full course access. Customised Learning Path is specific course libraries organised to align your business needs.
Curated Learning Path: A structured course series grouped by subject-specific knowledge areas. Curated Learning Paths designed to support targeted skill development.
Bespoke Course: A fully tailored course that we can build and you can purchase it outright or we can licence it to you. A Bespoke Course is developed specifically for your team or organisation.
Often. Commercial leasing involves confidential terms (rents, incentives, outgoings). Share details only with qualified parties.
REITs and fund managers, private landlords, developers, major corporates with large footprints, and government property units.
If the brief is large/complex (specialised uses, major works, unusual structures), co-list with a specialist and keep the client relationship.
There are dozens of short courses already curated to provide the best user experience across a number of subject areas. Explore all courses on our website and browse what's on offer.
Leasing Assistant/Coordinator or Analyst, Lease Administrator, Assistant Property Manager (leasing focus). These roles build your commercial toolkit quickly.
Requirements vary by state/territory and employer. Check your local regulator (e.g., Fair Trading/Consumer Affairs) and the job ad.
Keep residential and commercial pages distinct, use consistent naming, and publish one or two local commercial case studies to establish credibility.
The difference between the Collection and Bundle are as followed:
Collection: Curated, role-aligned sets of courses focused on a specific topic area.
Bundle: Strategic groupings of two or more Collections to solve complex industry challenges.
Yes. A resimercial (hybrid) approach—maintaining residential while taking on small commercial suites/strata industrial—reduces income risk and builds case studies.
Volunteer for renewal plans, write a capex mini-business case, contribute to a quarterly portfolio report—then bring those as short case studies to interviews.
With practical training, checklists, calculators, and templates tailored to Australian practice—so your team can speak the language, price deals correctly, and deliver with confidence.
Our pricing varies depending on the course/program size and type of service. To explore detailed pricing options, visit our website and explore our pricing plans. You can also contact Karen and her team at info@skillingseducation.com.au if you would like to book a time to go through what’s right for you.
If you are looking for a course of study for yourself or need cross train staff across a related course of study - you are in the right place.
You don’t need investment-bank modeling. You do need to price to market, compare gross vs net rents, and compute net effective rent. You’ll also work with rent reviews (CPI/fixed/market) and understand outgoings and securities.
Excel is essential. Familiarity with portfolio systems (e.g., MRI/Yardi) and BI/reporting tools helps but can be learned on the job.
Requirements vary by state/territory. Check your local regulator (e.g., Fair Trading/Consumer Affairs) for the exact licence or registration needed.
Courses at SKILLINGS Education are built for Australian professionals and focus on job-ready skills: owner metrics, budgeting/variance, renewal strategy, capex planning, risk/insurance basics, and stakeholder communication—plus templates, checklists and a certificate you can add to your CV.
