| PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION |
| Purpose:
The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to function as an Auctioneer. An Auctioneer conducts transparent and fair sales of movable and immovable assets by accepting offers from buyers (the Public) and accepting the highest purchase price to realise the best sales value for the seller. Attributes for the auctioneer amongst others should include communication skills, writing skills, research skills, financial skills and information and communication technology (ICT). A qualified learner will be able to: Rationale: The property sector is a multi-billion-rand economic activity which requires professionals who are well-trained and knowledgeable to meet the needs of both the movable and non-movable properties subsector. This qualification strives to equip learners to operate effectively and efficiently in the auctioneering subsector as well as ensuring protection of the consumer as required by consumer protection legislation. The auctioneering practice, as part of the property sector is well-established and regulated, thus has many learners that would benefit from qualifications aligned to career paths. This means there is a need to develop career paths, as the industry is constantly in need of skilled people. The scope of auctioneering is changing and evolving all the time, with new opportunities for the auctioneer arising with sectoral transformation and new markets in areas historically neglected by the sector. It will therefore ensure that the quality of education and training in the industry is enhanced and of a comparable standard to qualifications in other sectors in South Africa, and similar qualifications internationally. The society shall benefit the proper disposal process and value on assets that could have been lost. Typical learners for the qualification will be persons already employed in the industry, providing support service to auctioneers and new entrants interested in the field. The qualification will provide an opportunity for existing and qualified auctioneers to move into estate agency practice within the property development sector. Growth is possible within various higher responsibilities in the auctioneering field, valuation, and estate agency. The qualification was developed in collaboration with the auctioneering industry. |

| INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY |
| The National Occupational Certificate was compared to similar qualifications in Australia and Ireland.
Australia In Australia, Complete Qualifications offers Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice, which is a 10-unit real estate agency course. The course has three (3) electives specific to auctioneering. At the successful completion of this course the learner is issued with a Statement of Attainment to register as an auctioneer with the Office of Fair Trading. The specific units required to successfully register as an auctioneer are prepared for professional practice in real estate, access and interpret ethical practice in real estate, access and interpret legislation in real estate, prepare to work with real estate trust accounts, transact in trust accounts, establish marketing and communication profile, manage operational finances in the property industry, undertake pre-auction process, conduct and complete sale by auction, complete post-auction process and contract execution. Similarities The content of the two qualifications are similar with regards to undertake pre-auction process, conduct and complete sale by auction, complete post-auction process and contract execution is similar. Differences The uniqueness here is that the auctioneer is trained as part of real estate practice and therefore means that only fixed properties can be auctioned by the incumbent. The focus is on delivery of knowledge. Ireland Blackrock Further Education Institute offers a one (1) year, QQI Level 5 Certificate in Auctioneering, Estate Agency and Valuation (5M2102). Entry requirements are 5 passes or 5 O6/ H7s or a combination of 5 O6/H7s or the LCA with a Merit profile or have achieved a full relevant QQI Level 4 Award. Applicants with 21 years of age and those without formal entry requirements are considered through recognition of prior learning. Learners cover the following scope: The following modules are covered: Qualified learners can pursue careers in Auctioneering Practice, Estate Agency and Valuation, Property Management and Property Letting. Similarities The duration, content and competencies of the programme are in every respect similar to those of the National Occupational Certificate, and both include work experience in their delivery. Differences They are different in terms of qualification level and admission requirements. Conclusion Whereas the content is comparable between the programme and qualification, the proposed South African qualification is thorough and provides for application. In all cases the delivery can be done virtually and within the real classroom environment. |
