COURSE OVERVIEW
The PPRA recommends that all Property Practitioner Candidates undergo an induction programme at the commencement of their internship.
The primary objective of this induction period is to provide the Property Practitioner Candidate with an opportunity to become familiar with the policies, procedures, operations, and culture of the estate agency firm. At the same time, it enables the Estate Agency firm to assess the qualities, strengths, and potential of the intern estate agent.
The following aspects should be emphasized during the initial induction phase of the Property Practitioner Candidate’s training:
The Induction Course consists of 8 modules.
Each module contains multiple topics. Please read through each topic carefully. Once you are satisfied that you have fully understood the content, proceed to complete the multiple-choice questions in the Quiz for that module.
Notes on the Assignments
- The assignments contained within each module are not moderated by DerWalt Academy and do not contribute directly towards earning the Induction Certificate. However, the assignments will assist you in your further studies when you are ready to start with the NQF Level 4 training.
- All assignments must be completed by the Intern Property Practitioner Candididate personally.
- These assignments have been specifically designed and identified to assist with the preparation and completion of the prescribed Logbook Projects and additional workplace tasks.
Notes on the Quizzes
- The Quiz at the end of each module must be completed and passed before you can proceed to the next module.
- A minimum pass mark of 80% is required.
- Once you have successfully completed the Quiz, click the “Mark Complete” button to proceed to the next module.
- Upon successful completion of the final Quiz, a Certificate of Completion will either be emailed to the Intern Estate Agent or automatically generated for download.
Additional Notes
- You must complete all 8 modules, including all topics and quizzes, to qualify for the Certificate of Completion.
- The Certificate serves as proof that the Intern Estate Agent has successfully completed the prescribed induction training recommended by the EAAB and should be filed in the Logbook immediately after the Appraisal Form (Page 65 of the Intern Estate Agent Mandatory Workplace Learning Programme Logbook and Workplace Portfolio of Evidence).
- As access to this course is available for a limited period, it is recommended that all assignments, answers, and notes be saved and filed for future reference.
- The practical implementation and workplace training associated with the Induction Course should be supervised by the Principal or appointed Training Officer of the real estate agency.

THE PRINCIPAL
®DWA offers this comprehensive course exclusively to Real Estate Agencies and takes the training of your Interns off your hands!
Sir Francis Bacon attributed to the phrase “Knowledge is Power’ which dates back to 1597, is very often used and even believed. Very true words, indeed, but knowledge without action is really useless…
Being a Business/Franchise owner carries a great deal of courage and responsibility. Being a Principle with successful Real Estate Agents, who thrive and grow their businesses, and yours, is why you are here in the first place, isn’t it?
A combination of a knowledgeable Estate Agent, who also adheres to the Code of Conduct of this industry, is what will really grow your business and the company’s reputation from strength to strength.
It is therefore also a requirement from the EAAB to have a Practical Career Based Induction Course implemented at the Agencies.
The Induction Course also forms a major part of the Portfolio of Evidence required in the Logbook from the EAAB, where the IEA has to complete and submit assignments, based on this course.
The underlying objective of this induction period is to ensure that the IEA is given the opportunity to be introduced to the broad spectrum of the Code of Conduct, terms, insights, policies and procedures, operations, and culture of the real estate industry and the property world.
The duty of the principal to mentor the intern estate agent is explained on pages 33 and 43 of “The Intern Estate Agent Mandatory Workplace Learning Programme Logbook and Workplace Portfolio of Evidence”:
What we offer you in this course:
- Complete guide to Real Estate as prescribed by the EAAB.
- 1) Induction to the Real Estate Agency; 2) Introduction to Real Estate; 3) Property ownership; 4) Marketing; 5) Listing procedures; 6) Selling a property; 7) Financial Options to buyers; 8) F.I.C.A. & FAIS
- Certificate of compliance to be placed as evidence in the Logbook (section C)
My sincere wish and goal is that every intern agent is equipped with proper practical knowledge of the day-to-day functions we face in this highly competitive industry, right from the start in the foundational development phase. This includes creating good, ethical, and correct business habits, which may help re-establish a better image among the broader public we serve.
