What is the functional difference between the EAQE and SQE exam?
EAQE has broader functions than SQE. Basically, the EAQE exam is omnipotent. If you want to become an estate agent, you must take the EAQE, which is also known as the Estate Agent Qualifying Exam. EAQE results can also be used to apply for a salesperson license to become a real estate salesperson. Therefore, if you are interested in opening an agency on your own in the future, or if you want to become a manager, you can pass the EAQE exam first, and then you don’t need to take the exam again in the future. After becoming a real estate agent, all the duties that a salesperson is eligible to partake in can be done by an estate agent; in contrast, a salesperson cannot partake in some of the estate agent’s designated duties. In other words, The SQE Salesperson Qualifying Exam has only one function, which is to enable a person to apply to be a salesperson.

Why is it better to take the EAQE exam than an SQE exam?
After taking the EAQE exam, there will be more choices. You can be a real estate agent or a real estate salesperson by taking EAQE, but you can only be a salesperson by taking SQE. In case your prospective company has different expectations of you after you finish the exam, or if your mentality changes in the future, there is no need to take the exam again if you decide to take the EAQE in the first place. Furthermore, if the student was originally a salesperson, but he needs an estate agent license in the future, the examination fee will be eroded by taking one more real estate exam. In addition, because the second part of the EAQE exam consists of more case studies related questions, which is more or less dependent on the solidity of your knowledge and less on luck itself, therefore one is less likely to fail due to lack of luck.
