ARLA Level 3 Residential Letting & Property Management

Each unit is assessed by an online exam with remote invigilation. You can sit it anywhere in the UK as long as you have a stable internet connection and meet the exam conditions. The published sample question documents and the interactive sample test are there to show the type and level of difficulty of the questions before you book.

Each exam covers one unit and costs £62.50, payable when you book. Re-sits are charged at the same rates, and Propertymark states that these prices apply to all learners. Budget per unit rather than for a single sitting, since you book and pay unit by unit through the learner portal.

You have three years from your enrolment date to complete your study programme. If you are unsure how much time remains, Propertymark advises contacting the Propertymark Learning team to check. The final examination date is 30 September 2027, so no exams can be taken after that date regardless of your enrolment date.

No. Enrolment is closed for this study programme. If you are currently working towards it, you can download the full specification and book your examinations through the learner portal. Anyone not already enrolled should look at Propertymark's other current study programmes instead of planning around this one.

The programme is built around units, and the published sample material is drawn from Unit 1: Health and Safety, Security and General Law (COM1/SCOM1). The full unit list and learning outcomes sit in the specification, which enrolled learners access through the learner portal. Work from the specification rather than from general lettings knowledge alone.

Propertymark publishes sample questions and an interactive demo specifically to show the type and level of difficulty you are likely to face, so use both before booking. Difficulty is best judged against those documents rather than anecdote. Candidates working day to day in lettings generally find the practical content familiar, but the legal material needs deliberate study.

There is no published required order, so plan around your own knowledge gaps and your exam budget. Many learners start with Unit 1, since the sample questions and demo are based on it and it sets the legal foundation. Book one unit at a time and only when you are consistently scoring well on the sample material.

Three recur in practice: leaving units too late against the three-year window and the 30 September 2027 final examination date; underpreparing on the general law and health and safety content because it feels less like daily agency work; and failing to check the technical requirements for remote invigilation before exam day. Read the candidate guide for online exams before your first sitting.

Use the learner portal. It gives access to your learner account, lets you book exams and shows your results. The full specification is also accessed through the portal. Book each unit exam there and pay the £62.50 fee at the point of booking.

Propertymark directs learners to contact the Propertymark Learning team to check how much time they have remaining on their study programme. Do this early rather than assuming your enrolment date gives you the full three years, because the final examination date of 30 September 2027 applies to everyone.
