FETC: Real Estate (NQF 4) – RPL

The steps to fulfil the PPRA’s requirements become a professional property practitioner are:

• the completion of a 12 month internship,
• the submission of a logbook,
• passing the Professional Designation Exam [PDE], and
• ongoing Continuing Professional Development [CPD].

This national qualification is the qualification prescribed by the PPRA for all new candidates.  It is also the required qualification for any existing property practitioner or anyone who was a property practitioner but who left the industry prior to the educational requirements.

It has been specifically designed to develop all the competencies required by property practitioners.  These include:

• the code of conduct,
• marketing and sales,
• understanding the real estate business sector,
• bond financing,
• FAIS, FICA and other related legislation.

Property Practitioners may apply to complete the qualification through RPL, whereas candidates are generally advised to complete the qualification by attending training.

The qualification provides successful learners with access to the Chartall Business College Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

Candidate property practitioners, and even principals, may feel overwhelmed with their logbook.  Chartall Business College will guide you through this process step-by-step and make sure that you complete both your logbook and the qualification in your 12 month internship.  (Note that full status agents do, generally, not need to do the logbook.)

[/expand] [expand title=”Is this qualification only for South Africans?”] Anyone can complete the Real Estate qualifications. However, in terms of the new Property Practitioner Act clause 50, the PPRA may not issue a Fidelity Fund Certificate to anyone who is not a South African citizen and does not lawfully reside in the Republic.
