Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in drafting, reviewing, and managing housing contracts and compliance documentation. Learners will apply legal requirements to realistic scenarios, reinforcing theoretical knowledge through supervised practice.

Practical Activities

• Contract Drafting Exercise — Learners draft a full housing sale contract based on a provided scenario, including all necessary clauses and compliance documentation. (6h)
• Contract Review and Risk Assessment — Learners review a sample contract with intentional errors and omissions, identify risks, and recommend amendments. (4h)
• Documentation Compliance Check — Learners verify a set of property documents for completeness and compliance with legal requirements. (3h)
• Mock Dispute Resolution — Learners participate in a simulated dispute scenario, applying negotiation and mediation techniques to resolve a contract issue. (3h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
