Agents and principals with relevant working experience may earn their qualification through RPL - contact me for a cost-effective solution. proplib@tiscali.co.za

To the point - what a fantastic response!

I received the following letter from an agency after receiving the "to the point" checklist.

"Thanks Charl - quite an interesting checklist - my agents have a weekly
training session.. on top of that they do a one month intensive course that
I have designed when they join my company (even if they are experienced).

We are currently very small, however my goal is to produce high income
earning agents - not one great performer and nine below average sales
people. They receive weekly goals and a daily allocation sheet of tasks
that need to be done. Already from this framework I have spotted a few
points that I have failed to address in my current program and training eg.
Money laundering - not much focus on this.

I will print it off and run through the checklist with each individual agent
and provide more feedback then.

Thanks again"

...and this is the whole purpose - to develop a living and practical tool, that will lead to agents easily being able to collect the evidence necessary to meet the requirements of the Further Education and Training Certificate: Real Estate. This together with the "paint by numbers" toolkit will save you time, money and agony. Talk to me - order your free "to the point" instrument and invest in the "paint by numbers" file; also ask about the free "palette" resource guide and "the outside of the box" all tools to make it easy to attain Recognition of Prior Learning and get your FETC: Real Estate (SAQA ID 59097) to be able to keep on selling property after December 2011!

Here is the "Outside of the Box"

This weekend (15-16 March 2008) I photographed the entire Portfolio of Evidence that one of my learners handed in to be RPLed on the Further Education and Training Certificate: Real Estate (SAQA ID 59097). I have not yet assessed it and the process has not been moderated but I thought it would be useful as is to my other learners that wish to see an example of a possible end product(and to you!).

I have blackened out some portions - a) to protect identities b) to protect some copyright material and c) to limit plagiarism (the copying of answers without wrapping your own mind round the subject matter). Still I think it will be a useful model to anybody wishing to compile his her own portfolio of evidence (POE) for RPL purposes of the FETC: Real Estate and to a person learning the job of an estate agent as a candidate.

If you wish to have a copy of this 180 image file - I will be selling it as soon as I have sorted out some issues (most probably around R 300 plus VAT).

This is a well written article by Marietta van Rooyen that outlines some of the difficulties that learners and RPL candidates face when having to collect evidence to demonstrate their competency.
