Upon receipt of the portfolio of evidence, regarded as an application for the exemption, the relevant Education and Training official will assess the portfolio for compliance and ensure the paid fee is processed prior to inviting the applicant for an interview. Once the applicant has been invited for such an interview, it is incumbent upon the applicant to confirm and attend the scheduled interview as per invitation. It should be noted that in view of the set deadline for qualifications compliance, the EAAB will be conducting the interviews as per set schedule currently on the website and no applicant will be accommodated thereafter. No confirmation and pitch at the interview venue will result in the forfeiture of the paid fee.

ESTATE AGENCY AFFAIRS BOARD
Friday 04 March 2016: The Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) is preparing to launch its new registration and reporting system, called goAML, to go live at the end of April 2016. To help facilitate the transition from our current registration platform to goAML, FIC is requesting accountable and reporting institutions take note of important arrangements and dates.
Institutions already registered with the FIC are required to update registration-related information which will include institution and user details. The FIC has issued a Directive advising the same (click here to access the Directive).
The FIC will provide existing registrants with an entity registration identity, also referred to as an “Org ID”. Upon receipt of the Org ID, institutions that are already registered on the FIC’s current system must utilise the Org ID to update their registration related information. Updating of registration related information will include institution and user details.
Updating of registration related information will commence on Wednesday, 30 March 2016 and will continue until Friday, 22 April 2016.
Queries on this and other compliance matters can be logged via a web query via the FIC’s website at www.fic.gov.za or directed to www.fic.gov.za/Secure/Queries.aspx or call 0860 222 200.
Hi Jan Congratulation with the establishment of the multi-stakeholder group. While I am sure it is not going to be easy, I do believe it is progress. Well done! Regards Derek Fox Auction Boys
The EAAB advise that, even where an intern estate agent has been granted an equivalency exemption against the NQF Level 4 and 5 real estate qualifications, that person is still required to maintain and keep the prescribed intern logbook and, on the completion of the mandatory internship period, submit that logbook to the EAAB for assessment.
The intern will not be able to enrol for the Professional Designation Examination for non-principal estate agents (PDE 4) until the intern logbook has been approved by the EAAB.
