Yes, undoubtedly. The course was written on the assumption that the person using it has no or little knowledge of deeds. Many of our learners have had no, or very little, exposure to conveyancing. This need not be a deterrent. It is sometimes an advantage to realise how little you know, rather than to assume that the mere fact that you work in a deeds practice is sufficient to get you through the examination.
Yes, plenty of proof. Read the testimonials of successful students who knew nothing about deeds before the examination. You are in good company. They – and many others – all passed with the aid of our courses.
Since Covid-19 we have made three study options available:
- In view of the complexity and huge volume of the work, we recommend that you register for the online course. During this course, our lecturer will explain the work and guide you through the study notes. You will also have the benefit of interacting with the lecturer, for example by asking questions. (This option is for people who would like to receive study guidance in the form of lectures.)
- However, if attending the online lectures is not an option, you may choose to receive the recordings of these lectures. This is in fact a very good alternative to the online lectures. The advantage of this option is that you can listen to the recordings at your convenience at any time of the day or week. (This option is for people who would like to receive study guidance by following the recordings of the online lectures.)
- The self-study option is exactly what the name implies. You will receive course notes which have been designed for independent study and for people who are unable or prefer not to attend the online lectures or to receive the recordings. (This option is for people who do not need study guidance and are prepared to study on their own.)
Each option will offer you adequate support in preparing for the conveyancing examination. It all depends on your circumstances and preferences.
- We recommend either the ‘online lectures’ or the ‘recordings of the lectures’ as equally valuable options. Both options will accelerate your learning and improve your understanding of the work. The lectures will make your studies much easier because we guide you through a lot of information and explain difficult concepts. In the lectures, we also direct your attention to important aspects of the material.
- However, if you feel confident about studying on your own at your own pace, the self-study option is also sufficient to enable you to pass this exam. In fact, the course notes were originally developed for home-study purposes and have helped many candidates to pass over the years. The lecturers are just an additional tool for those who want guidance, as explained above.
