By Paul Stevens, CEO of Just Property

Are you interested in becoming a professional property practitioner? If so, in South Africa, you need to attain the educational and registration requirements set out by the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority( PPRA). These steps are designed to ensure that real estate agents are well-trained, knowledgeable, and capable of serving clients with professionalism and integrity.

Whether you’ re a candidate, a fullstatus agent, or an experienced principal property practitioner, your training never stops.
Step 1: Secure a Candidate Property Practitioner role with a reputable agency
Your first step is to secure a position as a Candidate Property Practitioner with a registered real estate agency. The principal of the agency you join will register you as a candidate with the PPRA, you will receive your Fidelity Fund Certificate( FFC) and can then start your NQF4 certification. As a candidate property practitioner, you will complete your logbook and portfolio of evidence. During your first year, you will gain practical experience under the guidance of qualified professionals. Choosing the right agency can make a significant difference in your career progression. Just Property provides a supportive and structured candidacy programme, equipping aspiring agents with hands-on training, mentorship and access to industry-leading tools and technology.
