Recognition of Prior Learning - RPL

RPL is suitable for people with work experience such as existing estate agents or principals.

The RPL assessment requires the RPL student to submit evidence based on their knowledge, practical experience and workplace evidence.

The RPL process focuses on the assessment as opposed to training and it provides a quicker route to achieve the qualifications.

The Estate Agency Affairs Board regulations require all existing Estate Agents and Principals to complete the RPL by end of 2011

Recognition of Prior Learning will be done by means of an RPL assessment and exemptions could be awarded for previous studies and work experience.

RPL EXEMPTIONS

If you have previous South African qualifications you may apply for the RPL exemption.

Exemptions could be awarded for previous qualifications. Work experience is not suitable for exemptions but would allow you to do the RPL assessment as opposed to doing the full study course.

Estate Agents:

Estate agents with matric including maths and second language receive exemption for 56 credits.

If you have a matric with a second language but no maths the exemption is for 40 credits.

The previous Estate Agency Affairs Board exam gives exemption for 18 credits.

The total credits required for the estate agents qualification is a minimum 150 credits.

Principals get no credits for matric or the previous board exam.

If you are over 60 years of age and have held a fidelity fund certificate for the previous 5 years you may qualify for an exemption.

If you have completed a full qualification as per the matrix provided below it is possible to receive a full exemption for the estate agents and principals qualifications.

Please ensure that your qualifications are suitable before you apply for the full exemption.

If your previous studies are not suitable for the full exemption you should register for the Estate Agents or Principals RPL assessment.
