We’re pleased to announce that Practical conveyancing for attorneys has been overhauled.
Fast-track your practical experience
Congratulations on passing the conveyancing exam! And best of luck if you are still preparing for it.
You've worked extremely hard to pass the exam. Knowing the theory is one thing; applying it confidently in practice is another. This course is designed to bridge that gap and give you a practical understanding of conveyancing as a whole.
Benefits of this course
Practice
- This course is truly unique in that it is all about your daily work as a conveyancer, all about practice. We focus on the why, what, how, where and when of conveyancing in practice, so that you understand not only what to do, but why and how it is done.
- It illustrates how conveyancing theory is applied across the two fundamental pillars of conveyancing practice – Deeds of Transfer and Mortgage Bonds.
- You receive comprehensive manuals explaining Deeds of Transfer and Mortgage Bonds, taking you all the way from the opening of the file to its final closure.
- We guide you on setting up a proven system in your office.
- The practical transfer case study takes you through the process from start to finish, covering current conveyancing systems and requirements, transfer duty and VAT, lodgement and registration, and the financial aspects of a transfer file, with practical tips to help you work more efficiently and confidently.
- The manuals you receive will serve as practical reference guides in your office.
Theory
- The theoretical section consists of a set of notes containing the theory applicable to this course. We do, however, assume that, as a recently admitted conveyancer or someone aspiring to become one, you possess a basic understanding of the theory of conveyancing.
- This section serves as background only and will not be discussed during lectures.
- Register early so that you receive your notes well in advance. This will enable you to refresh your theoretical knowledge before the start of the course.

Who should attend?
- This course is ideal for anyone working in conveyancing, whether you are working as part of a team or practising independently.

If you are working on your own, we will assist you with setting up practical systems and templates to help you manage your practice effectively.
- Whether you have many years of experience and want to refresh and consolidate your knowledge, or are brand new to it and want to learn the practical side of the profession, you will get something out of this course.
- This is a practical course, but if you haven't yet written or passed the exam, it can also help you prepare effectively. Feedback received from students indicates that the course helps them to integrate their theoretical knowledge with the practical application of conveyancing.

- Are you a newly admitted conveyancer, a sole proprietor practising without dedicated administrative support, or are you running the conveyancing department in an established law firm? Then this course will provide practical tools and systems to support you in managing your conveyancing practice effectively.
