Not all Delegates have the full financial funding to study and many times don’t qualify for a bursary. Aldes Training Academy recognized this and registered as a Merchant of Mobicred. Mobicred assists with study loans with manageable repayment fees within 48 hours from application submission.

Are the courses classroom based or distance learning programmes?

This will be dependent on your course selection. Some of our courses have prescribed Notional Classroom hours. Other courses are Distance Learning where your Study Material is couriered to you and you have the full assistance of an Online Tutor if you have any questions.

Do Real Estate Property Practitioners still need to Complete and Submit a Logbook?

If your FFC (Fidelity Fund Certificate) was issued before 01/07/2024, then you will still need to complete a Logbook.

You will not be required to submit the Logbook.   Your Principal will just need to submit a letter to the PPPRA to confirm that you have completed your 12 Month Internship and your Logbook. 

A template of this letter can be found on the PPRA website: https://theppra.org.za/ppra_forms

The Logbook should be kept at the Agency, should the PPRA request for it to be submitted.

All agents whose FFCs were issued after 01/07/2024, will not be required to do a Logbook, since they will have to complete the “Workplace (Practical) Training Modules”.

How will the Workplace Practical Training work for New Real Estate Agents registering after 01/07/2024?

All new Real Estate Agents registered after 01/07/2024 will need to Complete the “Workplace Practical Training Modules”:

 

  • These modules form part of the Occupational NQF4 Qualification.   Even though the practical experience will still need to be obtained at the agent's own workplace, the assignments and Workplace Modules (Logbook) will be assessed by the Accredited Training Provider (Aldes Training Academy).

 

  • Real Estate Agents who receive equivalency exemption from the PPRA for the NQF4 Qualification will still need to complete the 6 Practical Training Modules.

 

However, since they are not doing the full NQF4 Qualification, they  will need to complete these Modules at their own workplace.   The Principal/Mentor will need to supervise and sign off these modules.

 

The following communication from the PPRA provides a comprehensive indication of what is required to be achieved and details the activities under each module:

ICB changes and IQB? What does it mean?

The Education landscape in South Africa is changing!
Legacy qualifications are being phased out on the SA NQF. The closing date to register on the legacy qualifications was 30 June 2024. The left of this graphic indicates the Legacy pathway when ICB operated as a Quality Assurance Partner to the QCTO.

What does it mean for students who registered with ICB before 30 June 2024. For these students everything stays the same and these learners have until 2027/2028 to complete their studies. All past and existing students the credits and qualifications earned have a lifelong validity.
The subjects, exam timetable and fee’s remain unchanged.

What are the new options?
ICB will no longer be regulated and carry credits on the South African Framework but now has international standing.
ICB has partnered with IQB – An International Examination Body based in the UK.
www.iqb.org.uk
This allows students the flexibility of doing just the subjects they want or need OR do the full ICBprogramme.
Same quality as before, same respect in the market place. Reminder that ICB has been establishedsince 1931 with thousands of learners assessed annually.
Students registering with ICB from 1 July 2024, they will join ICB under the endorsement of IQB. Learners will receive a subject certificate for each subject successfully passed by IQB, on thecompletion of a full programme learners will receive a transcript of results and a co-branded ICB andIQB Professional International Certification, this instead of SA credits. Also let’s not forget the international endorsement and recognition that accompanies this!
ICB is embracing the global trend of short courses and “just in time” learning leading the way in modern education!
