Practicals

9 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals component allows learners to apply compliance procedures in simulated real estate scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners will draft compliance checklists, complete FICA documentation, conduct mock audits, and develop a compliance manual, ensuring they can implement and maintain legal compliance in practice.

Practical Activities
  • Drafting a Compliance Checklist — Learners create a comprehensive compliance checklist for a property sale transaction, covering all mandatory disclosures, documentation, and verification steps. (2h)
  • FICA and AML Documentation Exercise — Using sample client profiles, learners complete FICA verification forms, assess risk levels, and document suspicious transaction reports. (2h)
  • Mock Compliance Audit — Learners audit a simulated agency's files and procedures, identifying compliance gaps and recommending corrective actions. (3h)
  • Developing a Compliance Manual Section — Each learner drafts one section of a compliance manual (e.g., data protection, AML procedures) and presents it to the group for feedback. (2h)

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

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