The licensing regime  \n1.1 There are three types of licences:  \n(i) Estate agent’s licence (individual)  \n(ii) Estate agent’s licence (company)  \n(iii) Salesperson’s licence  \n1.2 The main difference between an estate agent’s licence (individual) and a salesperson’s licence is:  \n􀀁 estate agent’s licence (individual)– the holder may carry on estate agency business and can be appointed to be the manager of an estate agency office.  \n􀀁 salesperson’s licence – the holder can only work as a salesperson for an estate agent. He cannot carry on estate agency business. He cannot be appointed to be the manager of an estate agency office.  \n1.3 The Estate Agents Ordinance and Estate Agents (Licensing) Regulation specify the requirements for the grant of an estate agent’s licence (individual) and a salesperson’s licence. Essentially, an applicant needs to fulfil the following requirements:  \n􀀁 complete an educational level of Form 5 of secondary education or its equivalent  \n􀀁 be at least 18 years old  \n􀀁 pass the requisite qualifying examination within 12 months immediately before the date of application for the grant of a licence  \n􀀁 be considered by the EAA a “fit and proper” person to hold a licence  \n2. The qualifying examinations  \n2.1 There are two different types of qualifying examinations:  \n(i) the Estate Agents Qualifying Examination (EAQE)  \n(ii) the Salespersons Qualifying Examination (SQE)  \n2.2 A candidate who passes the EAQE may apply for an estate agent’s licence (individual) or a salesperson’s licence. A candidate who passes the SQE can apply only for a salesperson’s licence.  \n2.3 Successful candidates must submit their licence applications within 12 months of the date of issuance of the qualifying examination result slips; otherwise, their results will be considered invalid for licensing purposes.  \n2.4 Before registering for an examination, candidates should consider carefully the type of licence they would like to apply for and thus the type of qualifying examination to sit.  \n2.5 The qualifying examinations are administered by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (Examinations Authority) on behalf of the EAA.  \n2.6 Multiple-choice questions are used in the examinations. Candidates can choose to take the examinations in either Chinese or English.  \n2.7 The qualifying examinations serve to assess whether persons who wish to practise in the estate agency trade possess the requisite knowledge to provide estate agency services. Only persons who possess the requisite knowledge and meet the other requirements are eligible to be granted a licence.  \n2.8 A comparison of the EAQE and SQE is as follows:  \n\n|  | SQE EAQE |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Number of questions | 50 questions:\u003Cbr>Part 1: 40 stand-alone questions\u003Cbr>Part 2: 10 questions based on one or two case studies | 50 questions:\u003Cbr>Part 1: 30 stand-alone questions\u003Cbr>Part 2: 20 questions based on one or two case studies |\n| Examination time | 2 hours 30 minutes | 3 hours |\n| Assessment | Must pass both parts | Must pass both parts |\n\n2.9 Part I of the examination paper tests candidates’ knowledge of various parts of the syllabi of the EAQE or SQE.  \n2.10 Part II of the examination paper contains one or two case studies to test in an integrated way the practical knowledge expected of estate agents or salespersons, including interpretation of land search, use of prescribed forms, the requirements  \nunder the regulatory regime, and practical issues such as estate agency law, conveyancing an","cbCaiuUKsPJaVBLp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuUKsPJaVBLp","pdf",459217,99,"English","# Preface\n## The licensing regime\n## The qualifying examinations\n## Comparison of EAQE and SQE\n# Notes\n# Appendix I\n# Appendix II\n# Appendix III\n# Appendix IV\n# Appendix V\n# Appendix VI","[{\"question\":\"What licence types are available under the EAA licensing regime?\",\"answer\":\"There are three types: an estate agent’s licence (individual), an estate agent’s licence (company), and a salesperson’s licence.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main eligibility requirements for applicants seeking a licence?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must meet educational requirements (Form 5 or equivalent), be at least 18 years old, pass the qualifying examination within 12 months before applying, and be assessed by the EAA as “fit and proper”.\"},{\"question\":\"How do EAQE and SQE differ in exam structure and administration?\",\"answer\":\"Both use multiple-choice questions and must pass both parts.
