Are you living outside Italy and considering a career in the Italian real estate sector? Becoming a real estate agent in Italy requires a specific professional pathway. It is important to understand the difference between completing the required training course and obtaining the professional qualification.
Centro Studi Minerva, a training provider accredited by the Marche Region and based in Macerata, organises the 150-hour Real Estate Agent course (Agente d’Affari in Mediazione – Agente Immobiliare). Its flexible format combines live online lessons with intensive in-person activities in Macerata, making attendance easier to organise for participants from different Italian regions and for people temporarily living abroad.
How to become a real estate agent in Italy
The Italian professional pathway includes several distinct steps. Completing the training course is an essential part of the process, but it does not automatically grant the right to work as a real estate agent.
- Check that you meet the personal and educational requirements applicable to your situation.
- Attend an authorised professional training course and comply with its attendance requirements.
- Complete the 150-hour training programme.
- Apply for and pass the examination held by the competent Italian Chamber of Commerce.
- Complete the additional administrative requirements needed to practise the profession in Italy.
Requirements and administrative procedures may depend on the candidate’s personal circumstances and on the competent Chamber of Commerce. Candidates should therefore request up-to-date information before enrolling or applying for the examination.
The 150-hour Real Estate Agent course at Centro Studi Minerva
The course covers the legal, tax, technical, valuation and professional subjects required for future real estate agents. It is designed to provide structured preparation for the subsequent Chamber of Commerce examination.
The Minerva learning experience includes:
- live online lessons with direct interaction with the teaching staff;
- intensive in-person activities in Macerata, scheduled to concentrate the necessary travel;
- lesson recordings available to enrolled students;
- teaching materials for study and revision;
- practical exercises and subject-specific quizzes;
- exam simulations through a dedicated practice tool.
The programme is not presented as an entirely online course: the required in-person activities remain an integral part of the pathway.
Can I attend while living outside Italy?
The course is attended by students from several Italian regions, and Centro Studi Minerva also receives enquiries from Italian citizens and other prospective candidates who are temporarily living abroad. The combination of live online learning and concentrated in-person activities can make the programme easier to organise for those who need to travel to Macerata.
Before enrolling, candidates living abroad should verify the calendar, attendance requirements, admission conditions and travel arrangements directly with Centro Studi Minerva.
Course completion and professional qualification are not the same
This distinction is essential. Completing the course demonstrates that the training pathway has been completed according to the applicable rules. It does not mean that the participant has automatically become a qualified real estate agent.
To obtain the professional qualification, the candidate must take and pass the examination at the competent Italian Chamber of Commerce and comply with the other legal and administrative requirements applicable to the profession.
Is the course taught in English?

It does not imply that the course, teaching materials or Chamber of Commerce examination are available in English. Prospective students should contact Centro Studi Minerva in advance to confirm the language of instruction and determine whether the programme is suitable for their circumstances.
