3. CEA Real Estate Salesperson (RES) Exam
Important Notice: Cancellation of June 2020 Real Estate Salesperson (RES) Examination
Following PM Lee’s announcement on 21 April 2020 that the circuit breaker period will be extended till 1 June 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has implemented tighter measures to minimise further spread of COVID-19. In particular, an elevated set of safe distancing measures has been implemented from 22 April 2020 to 1 June 2020 (both dates inclusive). During this period, schools and workplace premises will be closed, save for very essential services. The Government has urged all Singaporeans to minimise movements and interactions in public and private places, and stay home unless necessary for essential purposes.
For the safety of all candidates and the community, CEA will abide by MOH’s advisories and will cancel the June 2020 RES examination.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will work towards confirming the next available examination date, to give candidates an opportunity to sit for the examination as soon as possible. Updates will be posted on the CEA and Regional Language Centre (RELC) websites.
We are aware that the cancellation of the June 2020 RES examination will impact those who had prepared and intended to register for the examination, especially candidates who had registered for the February 2020 RES examination that was also cancelled.
Hence, we will be giving priority to candidates who had registered for the February 2020 RES examination to register for the next available examination. RELC will be writing directly to these candidates when the next examination date has been confirmed.
In addition, we will be extending the course certificate validity period by one year for course participants who had completed the RES course on any date from 22 February 2018 to 30 April 2020 (both dates inclusive).
As we expect a higher demand for the next available RES examination, we seek the understanding of course participants who complete the RES course after 30 April 2020 that they may not be able to register for the next available examination. This is because priority will be given to candidates who had registered for the February 2020 RES examination that was cancelled. Course participants who complete the RES course after 30 April 2020 should register for later examination dates instead.
