Negotiator Certification Course Overview
If you are looking to start a career in the Real Estate industry, you can get started by becoming a Real Estate Negotiator (REN). In Malaysia, you will need to attend a compulsory two(2) days course before you can register yourself as a REN.
As of 29 May 2014, BOVAEP (Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents & Property Managers Malaysia) has decided to standardise the two (2) days course module for the negotiators certification exercise. Negotiators are required to certify with the Board to conduct real estate transactions. This is part of the effort by the board to improve the professionalism in the industry and to weed out illegal brokers.
The main objective of the course is to inculcate in all participants the need to work as Negotiators according to the laws as clearly stipulated in the Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents & Property Managers Act 1981 (Rules 1986) and the Malaysian Estate Agency Standards 2014 (MEAS).
The course will cover the following modules over a two days period:
Excel Academy is approved by the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Malaysia (BOVAEP) to conduct the NCC course. We have conducted the NCC course for over 3000 participants since 2015.
Our participants enjoy the NCC course as it is practical and packed with information, which they can use to kickstart their career as a Certified Real Estate Negotiator. The Certificate of Attendance from BOVAEP will be presented after the 2 day programme.
